Wonderful Food !
Really welcoming arrival. On check in we were told their was a function on which would probably be causing some noise but shouldn't go on too late and we shouldn't hear it in our room. This was wrong, we heard the disco thumping away until the early hours, we could even hear the laughter and screams of the party goers. This was a stop over from a very tiring day travelling around Norfolk, we were hoping for a dinner and good night's sleep. I booked a deluxe room but it was a little tired in places, furniture tatty and stained, toilet roll needs a proper holder. The dinner did not disappoint, absolutely wonderful meal, we even booked for lunch the next day as we were visiting Wroxham nearby so wanted to come back for some more delicious food. However we were so tired we decided to cut short and not return for afternoon lunch. I have to say the gentleman who dealt with our complaint ( and that of another customer who was at the same time complaining of the same issue) showed genuine concern and understanding and agreed we should have not been given the rooms we were as it's not their policy to use these rooms when such an event is on because of the close proximity. The outcome for us was positive and we were compensated satisfactorily. Breakfast was very good. We would consider staying again if no function was on. We would definitely return just to eat in the restaurant, compliments to the chef and waiting staff. Please don't describe some rooms as deluxe though (see photos).

Overall good
Great staff, very helpful.
Good food and a fair selection of drinks at the bar.
Bathroom good, with nice shower.
Bedroom - good bed, thin pillows and unfortunately even thinner walls. My 'neighbours' phone was set to vibrate and I could hear it like it was next to the bed, plus every tik-tok he watched.

We only stayed for one night so didn't get much of a chance to use the facilities but the staff here were excellent. They provided perfect customer sevice at every single opportunity; check in, breakfast, everything. The room was spacious, well equipped and very clean. Plenty of tea, coffee and hot chocolates (not the usual 2 sachets that most hotels leave) and even had a few bottles of nice cold spring water in the fridge which was perfect on a 28°c day!
I can absolutely recommend The Old Rectory, although I'd rather keep it as a secret so there will be availability for our future stays.
The breakfast is also fantastic!

Lovely picturesque area to stay
Very nice stay thank you, after I attended a local friend's wedding reception. Worth the money and very nice helpful staff. Great breakfast too. Manager lady was very helpful too when I needed a plaster after a mishap resulting in a cut finger. Room lovely and comfortable but may be better if the rubber bathroom mat is put in the bath, as i couldn't find it when I needed to shower. Didn't see it hanging on the back door. But wouldn't hesitate to stay again and recommended! Thank you!

The Old Rectory
Enjoyed our stay. Food was delicious and plentiful. Had both evening meals and room service. Room was spacious and had all we needed. Furnishings etc could do with a little modernisation (as with one of the eating areas) but wasn't a big issue. Outside pool was a bonus and lovely after some sightseeing. Asked at breakfast if we required room sevice and an evening meal which we felt was a good idea, but you could get intouch about changing evening meal if required. On the whole staff were friendly and helpful, espacially "my lovelies "(sorry I forgot to get your name!). We used as a base for surrounding areas with Cromer half an hr away and 10mins to Norwich. Would use again.

Difficult to decide what would raise this from a 3 star to 4 star hotel apart from larger rooms, bathrooms, TV screen & extra furniture because everyhthing in the hotel was beyond what we expected. Good choice in menu (although fresh filter coffee rather than the machine Americano would have been preferable), well prepared & the portions generous. We expect to go back on another occasion.
