This was actually a one night combined business and leisure stay; Catton Old Hall is a beautiful building, both externally and internally. The welcome was excellent and we were very impressed by the books which populated all areas of the house - it was great to be able to read the poetry of Edward Thomas over breakfast! Our room, the Nicholas Copping, was first class with exposed beams and an excellent bed; the sitting room was wonderful, decorated with fascinating artwork and full of books of all kinds - a great place to sit quietly and read a little - thank goodness it doesn't have a television! The breakfast was excellent and the owner (Dianne, or Jane!?) recommended an excellent pub nearby for dinner. All in all, terrific all round, but more likely to suit the discerning traveller - if you're looking for clinical functionality and Sky TV, look elsewhere!

This guest house is truly a gem. My husband and I stayed there on Friday night after my son's graduation ceremony.

Our room was totally charming with a large, modern ensuite bathroom, both of which were immaculately clean.

The ingredients for breakfast were all locally sourced and delcious.

A really nice touch was the honesty bar and the books which are scattered around the various rooms.

An interesting and historic house in a quiet suburban location on the north side of Norwich, handily placed for the airport and its park and ride. Our rooms were enormous - the bathroom was bigger than some hotel rooms I have had in London! A very well stocked honesty bar and a pleasant lounge, also a sitting out area at the back of the house. Very good breakfast with fresh local produce such as Norfolk honey. Apart from a slightly more forceful shower, one could not want anything else. If you are the kind of person who likes chatty owners to fuss over you this would not be the place for you, but preferring to be left to our own devices we had no problem with that.

Beds extremely comfortable. Dianne, the Manager, was very friendly, helpful and efficient. The breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice. Had to wait a while for the shower to warm up and wasn't the most powerful. As others have said, it would be nice to have sky, not just the 4 channels, but otherwise very happy and would definitely recommend staying here.
