    Good choice of breakfast. Comfortable room albeit a little small. Ate dinner at the hotel twice from both the bar and al la carte menus very interesting choices. Garden and patios great for relaxing after dinner drinks. Many nice little touches provided dog treats nibbles water and milk from reception even a G & T

    we went down for bar food on the 2nd night at 7.20 to be told they had decided to stop offering food as they had a lot of customers earlier (it was supposed to be until 8 pm and had been the previous night) so no warning given that this might happen and as a result we had to drive out and find a restaurant / pub at the last minute. That was a pity and did effect our evening

    room and bathroom was very comfortable and generous size. bed very comfortable, loved the complimentary gin and tonics, freshly made cakes and biscotti - a nice touch

    • Stayed 2 nights

    The Brewhouse doesn't have a lot of clothes storage space, we slept in the downstairs bedroom and used upstairs for our luggage and clothes. The downstairs bathroom is the only one with a shower and is quite small.....again nowhere to hang your towels. No private outdoor seating area unlike the other rooms along that line of cottages Too many cushions for my liking too, so many you couldn't sit on the sofas downstairs so I had to move them all upstairs out the way Also if you're allergic to dog hair this isn't the place for you - dog hairs everywhere

    Peaceful and relaxing location tucked away from the Norfolk coast The variety of rooms here means you can always find something suitable; we stayed in the Brewhouse which was sizeable enough for 2 adults and had the added extras of a small kitchen (fridge, oven, hob and a washing machine!) The staff were superb - friendly, good sense of humour and just spot on in terms of service delivery As for the food - wow! No wonder they've received an AA 3 Rosette award. Stunning food, beautiful presentation and although it doesn't look a lot on each plate, it soon fills you up. Loved the welcome tray with 2 G&Ts, homemade strawberry shortcakes and some biscotti

    Lived up to the recommendation we were given - just that point about the breakfast if we're correct

    Breakfast - yoghurt, muesli, granola were all fine Was the cooked breakfast done in a microwave - we had our suspicions it may have been - if so we thought it was at odds with the quality and cheffing levels achieved for the evening menu and would have been much better cooked traditionally

    Evening meal was great - good quality, well cooked and worthy of their awards

    Great time despite the uncooperative weather

    An old ancient building so no surprise the stairs were more than a little difficult to negotiate, especially with any luggage, though on arrival we were offered help to movie (we are in our 70s). We stayed 5 nights. More than that would have been difficult to choose from the dinner and breakfast options. However, I doubt one would stay in a place like this for more than 5 nights

    Dinner - whether in the dining room or bar was excellent. Imaginative and very tasty (e.g. fresh crab ravioli, lobster and a prawn bisque with baby spinnage leaves) . Similarly for the breakfast. Great room. Very friendly and obliging owner with polite, well trained and efficient staff.
