I stayed here because I had to be in the town after I injured my knee. I was basically stuck in the room because of this, but Jason, Jenny, and the rest of the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Nice comfortable, large room, in a good location.

I took my elderly mother away who has trouble in seeing. I asked if me and my daughter could share a room with her. The hotel did one better and organised an adjoining room which was perfect. The breakfast was enjoyable. The hotel is greatly located for Fakenham town and 11 minutes by car to the Thursford show. Staff were very friendly and helpful would use this hotel again.

My parents stayed for a weekend in one of the apartments. From the time they checked in to checking out they were looked after by the wonderful staff who couldn't do enough for them. The apartment was nice and clean and comfortable and they really enjoyed the breakfast. Thank you so much to Jason and his team for making them feel so welcome and looked after.

What a pleasant stay. Jason (proprietor) couldn't of been nicer. The rooms were clean and crisp with a comfy bed and freshly renovated bathroom with a strong shower. The meals were top notch and food value for money. We stayed for a work trip and it was very lst minute booking and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Lovely accomodating people. All covid restrictions adhered to and a very clean and friendly atmosphere. Well impressed
