We have stay here before and liked it. Firstly they are very dog friendly, which we wanted. The staff, location, and food/drink were excellent. We had dinner in most nights and loved every meal - good food and plentiful. ALL the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for days out to the forsts, Holkham and Brancaster - Dog loved it. There is a village common just a short walk up the road at Great Cressingham which perfect for early morning or late night doggie walks. Rooms are extremely good value.
This really isn't really a dislike as such. The cost of the room is very good value and that's because the accommodation is a little tired. BUT having said that with a dog you don't want pristine clean and white surfaces for muddy paws to mess up. However, there are still things and the owners could do/ should do. I would suggest that they conduct an audit of the premises on a regular basis - our room had a metre long crack in the bedroom wall next the bathroomand the bathroom fan (all with other rooms) sounded like a jumbo jet taking off on start up. I am surprised that these hadn't been noticed by staff and dealt with .

The room was spacious, well appointed and quiet, despite being next to the car park entrance. Everything worked! The bar and restaurant was very busy at lunch time because it was a bank holiday so we did not eat lunch. However, we did arrive back at the hotel in time for an evening meal, which was excellent. The breakfast was included and was very good, although it was table service only and I prefer a buffet for cereals and juices etc. There was a very well-stocked bar with a selection of craft ales and whiskies. The wine list was good value too. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The bar was full (exaggeration of course) of aggressive looking dogs at lunch time (at least, I think they looked aggressive). There were many flies in the restaurant, which was particularly annoying while trying to keep them away from our food.

They had a large selection of breakfasts and were happy to accommodate requests e.g. gluten free bread. The room was very large and was exceptionally clean. The breakfasts and evening meals were of a very good quality. The shower over the bath was good. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.
The bathroom although very clean could do with a little updating. I have dietary requirements and I found the evening meals limited, though they would have changed items within a meal.

Very meaty options for dinner including local steaks ( cooked as requested) but several choices also for vegetarians. didn't get to try puddings as starters and mains so generous

Amazing old village pub that just oozes charm. The bar area was snug, cosy and full of personality with a very large selection of drinks - highly recommended their own ale, Windy Miller. Staff extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The restaurant was large yet had a cosy intimate feel to it and the food was excellent. Our room (room 1) was large with plenty of room to spread out. Comfortable bed, well equipped room and bathroom. All in all a gem of a place that we would definitely go back to.
Nothing - everything to our complete satisfaction

The rooms were very big, clean and quiet. Being a dog friendly hotel was great. Food was lovely, staff were friendly and couldn't do enough. Good choice for breakfast and the food was nice.
Gets very busy at the weekends, which is understandable. People may not like the idea of the location, as there are no other facilities in the immediate area, so you need to drive to places, but it suited us

Nice breakfast. No marmalade seen though and it was a bit of a maze to get there. Friendly staff.
3 big spiders in the bathroom. Carpet in bedroom not very clean. Because of the location, it's easy to bring mud on your shoes in the room. Toilet cistern made a very slow dripping noise but worked fine. All the above are minor issues. The room was spacious, well equipped, comfy bed and thick curtains

Staff were excellent, nothing too much trouble. Room was good except being short , I had a job to get into the bed! Choice of evening meals were varied but would have been nice to have something other than chips with everything, although I realise they are easier to provide than other forms of potato. The location was very nice and watching the in house kittens play was very enjoyable.

The food generally was good. The staff were friendly and helpful. My "Executive" room was large and pleasant. There was a good hot shower. Both car parks, situated at rear and opposite the Inn were spacious. I had no concerns re safety/security. It was also very very quiet. I'd certainly stay again. It was well situated for bird watching in The Brecks.
Really no complaints, though I had to ask for a second cup of coffee each breakfast!
