Lovely Quaint Pub with High Standard of Dining
I stopped for one night on business and found it to be a real gem. Lovely friendly team and amazing restaurant with high end menu choices and very well cheffed food. It was Tuesday evening and they looked fully booked for food which said a lot to me. Great selection of beers too. Parking on site was free and had a lovely breakfast in the morning nd great chat with the owner in relation to its aerospace connections. Overall would stay again 100%

Amazing food. Basic rooms
The rooms are basic, and as a repeat customer I know this.
No shower in this particular room, but a large bath.
Biggest issue - room was freezing with no way to tweak heating. No iron in the room either.

Lovely property
Hotel was very nice but really busy so parking was an issue. We had the attic room which had a low slanted ceiling which I wouldn’t want to stay in again. No WiFi code given and bathroom too hot.

We choose this venue as a base to explore Norfolk for a weekend, the location makes it an easy drive to the beach.
We couldn't fault the food it was amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful :)
The best thing about our room was the under floor heating in the bathroom, the rest of the room was just adequate, could do with a little bit of an up grade.
The upstairs and leading to the bedrooms just looked a little shabby.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY
This is the second time my wife and I have stayed here. The room we had overlooked the car park at the front but no problem whatsoever. Decent size room with good sized bathroom. Clean and tidy with good storage space. We first visited for an evening meal a few years ago and were impressed by both the welcome we got, and also the quality and variety of the food. Nothing has changed in that time with standards being just as high. Convenient for Norwich, the Broads and the coast, and serving an excellent breakfast, I can recommend The Recruiting Sergeant to anyone.
