“potential gem, needs some love”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

This hotel is in a beautiful old building in the centre of the picturesque and interesting village of Reepham. There are some fantastic original features including panelling , roaring open fire,a Queen Anne barley-sugar twist staircase and a courtyard at the back that could be lovely.Though it could really do with a thorough make-over and some modernisation,it was warm, comfortable, reasonably clean and very quiet, despite it being a Friday and there being a gig downstairs. I was given a pleasant, large room at the back of the hotel and didn't hear a thing all evening. The evening meal was excellent, fresh mussels in a creamy sauce followed by duck confit with a tart cranberry jus and nicely done veg, then a lemon posset to die for.(It really didn't need the unseasonal strawberry garnish ). I was a bit disappointed by breakfast, nice creamy scrambled eggs were good, the plate was spanking hot but the bacon and sausage were just bacon and sausage. Given that there's an excellent butcher right next door and many artisan sausage/bacon makers in Norfolk I kind of hoped for something a bit better than the average pink banger and supermarket-style bacon. So there's scope for improvement, but I would go back - the staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere warm and lively in the bar in the evening, and the overall experience of staying in a lovely part of Norfolk really relaxing. Oh and there's a leisure centre next door with pool, gym and sauna which hotel guests can use - again in need of a bit of a facelift but clean and comfortable enough.

Room Tip: the rooms at the back of the hotel are quietest and some have a nice view of the churches (there are...

“food good," hotel very tired"”

We stayed for Xmas Break. You could not fault the food, The only good thing about the hotel is the food and the waiting staff.Hotel is very tired and run down. The carpet and curtains in our room was very old dirty and stained. It was a disappointing xmas break.
Not much going on for the guests, catered for the locals and dogs!!!!

Room Tip: Very tired and run down!

“listed but very tired”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

person found this review helpful

the room we were given looked nothing like the one shown in the website. It was very old worldy but very tatty. Ceiling marks from water damage, wallpaper tears and very tired.
Loud music is played on a friday night and don't expect to get any sleep before midnight. Noise from locals who had been listening to the music went on outside, mostly smokers who had to go out, people talking on mobiles and staff having a cigarette too went on until 1.30, so not a place to visit if you actually want to sleep at night.
Breakfast was very nice and served by a very pleasant lady. Bar staff friendly. Maybe a place for a meal BUT
Not a place I would revisit

Room Tip: Maybe you have to ask for a room that is pictured on the website and furthest away from the live ent...

OHIML, General Manager at Old Brewery House, responded to this review
19 April 2012
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review following on from your recent visit to the Old brewery House hotel. As the general manager of the hotel I would immediately like to apologise for the experience you had on your short break.
We do have a Live entertainment programme every Friday which most of our hotel guests do appreciate, however we cannot please everybody and for that I can only apologise. We have begun a refurbishment programme however Health and safety concerns and compliance with statutory laws have had to take precedent, of which I am sure you would agree. Though this involves considerable expense, the works completed are unfortunately not always visible to our customers and every pound spent on essential maintenance is a pound not spent on furniture, paint, fabrics etc. On a positive note I am very pleased to hear that you found the Staff to be Friendly and that you found the location to be excellent.

“Fantastic staff and food BUT needs some TLC”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We went for a break over the New Year. The food was fantastic and so were the staff and we even got to meet Matt who was a very pleasant person.
The only thing is Oxford Inns who owns the place needs to spend some money on it. The rooms were very clean though a little dated.
The location was perfect and wonderful pub over the road that also served from what we could see great food.

Room Tip: Try to get a room at the back of the hotel less noisy.

“Wonderful staff”

A group of four of us went for Sunday lunch at the Old Brewery House, the food was very good and reasonably priced and the service was excellent. We then went through to the lounge (with our large dog) for coffee in front of the fire.
It was a shame that the restaurant was nearly empty, perhaps this reflects the rather tired appearance of the building and garden.
