this motel is like stepping back in time to the 1970's.it has an unsavoury smell of fried food & stale carpets. Thestaff were disinterested ill informed on their role & the kitchen boasts a cook who wandered into the reception picking his nose & wiping it on his apron.The menu boasted such culinary delights as ham egg &chips scampi&chips or steak & chips we ate elsewhere the landlord of said establishment told me he gets many diners from Aylsham Lodge. At £75 aroom it is a disgrace to the hotel trade do not consider it .

My husband and I recently hired the function room for our wedding blessing reception and my 40th birthday party combined. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the buffet was fantastic. All our family and friends said what a lovely time they had. Some of our family travelled a long way to be with us, so stayed for a couple of nights., as did my husband and I. the room was clean, basic and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable - we all had a good nights sleep! Breakfast was very nice.

My daughter and son-in-law had a wedding reception and 40th birthday celebration combined. The staff were only too pleased to help any way they could. The buffet and hot food were excellent, almost all was eaten and no complaints from anyone! The lady behind the bar gave particularly good service, and seemed guenuinly happy to be there! We had a full English breakfast the next morning which was excellent! Overall service was excellent from booking to the time we left! We felt completely welcome at all times! We would definitely recomend this hotel to friends!

We were reluctant to book into this motel, having the read the previous reviews, and only used it as a last resort.
The receptionist was very helpful and friendly, and booked us into Chalet 5, which was perfect for us, having one double bedroom, one twin-bedded, and a small lounge with tea and coffee making facilities. It was all very clean, and even had fresh flowers in the lounge! Breakfast was excellent, as were the staff. We would not hesitate to use this motel again, and will happily recommend it.
