Food was amazing. Staff were amazing (other than kitchen staff member having an argument outside the front of the hotel as we arrived). Room was gorgeous - bed was so scrumptiously comfortable. Service was fabulous. Stunning hotel. Just really gutted about the two negative views incidents as it would have been perfect.

The 'Henry' hoover was out in the corridor outside our room ALL weekend which was rather poor. The lead wasn't even wrapped around it, it was just in a messy bundle. A staff member from the kitchen was having a personal blazing row with their partner outside the front door of the hotel, which also happened to be outside our room window! It was so loud and so embarrassing. We couldn't chill in our room because it was all we could hear for over half an hour.

Room was a good size with a very comfortable bed (with feather pillows!) and an excellent shower. Toilet cubicle was a little cosy but balcony was great. Parking was easy and the restaurant was wonderful; friendly staff and good service of beautiful food; really enjoyed our stay.

Nothing really apart from the cosy toilet ‘room’ where knees were touching door! That said, not sure that they could have provided such a service in any other way and the staff were incredibly helpful on any query.

Breakfast was perfect, excellent buffet choice and boiled eggs cooked to perfection. Other half had eggs benedict and said it was delicious. Dinner was beautiful and the restaurant is gorgeous just like the whole hotel. All the staff were super helpful and friendly and looked liked they loved their job and the hotel.

We stayed in Hawthorn which we booked for the balcony (which was gorgeous) However the toilet in this room is very compact. My husband who is just over 6 ft found he could barely close the toilet door. So if you are tall might be wise to book a different room. The rest of the room was beautiful

Beautiful property in a quiet location with large outdoor green space, which was perfect for our two dogs. Juniper Room, which is dog friendly, was comfortable, especially the bed. It did get a little stuffy on a hot day as the bedroom is on second floor and there’s no air con or fan. Breakfast was decent and staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Not much to dislike. We stayed one night, ate at the restaurant, which had really good dishes too.

We love the Norfolk Mead. We have been before and will go again. It’s in a lovely location. We were fortunate to have good weather and could sit on the terrace and have a drink. This hotel will be even better when the Spa facility upgrade is finished. Staff are helpful and friendly. We had dinner and breakfast and both were fabulous. So a great stay again. Thank you Norfolk Mead for a lovely relaxing afternoon, evening and morning.

The hotel was set in pleasant grounds which looked beautiful in the morning with a layer of frost everywhere. We were given an upgrade to a room with a balcony which would be lovely in the warmer weather but we didn't sit on it in the middle of January! The bed was very big and comfortable.The shower was very good with plenty of hot water, towels and toiletries. Tea and coffee was available in the room with fresh milk in a fridge on the landing. The entrance to the hotel was welcoming with a fire blazing in the fireplace and a comfortable seating area. Dinner was good and the staff were attentive. There was also a good choice of cooked food and cold options at breakfast.

The room had an odd layout with the open plan shower situated in the seating area. The toilet was tiny with no separate light so not ideal in the middle of the night. The room also looked a bit tired. At breakfast there were several fresh loaves of bread for guests to cut themselves. There was also a cloth available for people to use to hold the bread while cutting it. Unfortunately several people didn't seem to get this concept and had their hands all over the bread which was off-putting.

The room was spotless & had a beautiful view. It was lovely & quiet. The food was exceptional.

The low beams in the Damson suite made it awkward & difficult to maneuverer. The mirror on the dressing table was basically useless & I couldn’t use while trying to get ready, as it was far too low. On arriving, a young girl on reception was taking a call from a possible customer, on ending the call went on to criticise said customer for not booking sooner & why leave it so late. which we personally thought unprofessional.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. All the staff were helpful and chatty and the food, both breakfast and evening meal were excellent with a great choice of options. I have some specific dietary requirements and it was so refreshing to know that the chef would adapt dishes for me, where possible, without any issues. Our room was comfortable as was the lovely king sized bed.

I booked 6 rooms for family to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. The staff were absolutely fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was out of this world! Everyone said they'd never had a 3 course meal that was all so delicious. The breakfast the next morning was also perfect with everything cooked to order. The hotel is situated in beautiful grounds with a lovely walk down to the river and around a lake.

There was nothing not to like!

The room we were given was very good, it was a seperate cabin not part of the main hotel, the terrace was a sun trap, tea and coffee facilities were also very good with a small fridge in the room with fresh milk.

There was a wedding party and the staff were a bit rushed, breakfast was accessed by the wedding party and this caused shortages at times on the buffet table. However the selection of cold breakfast items was excellent,
