The Norfolk Arms Inn

Upon entering the Norfolk the staff were lovely. The lady behind the bar welcomed me and checked me in with no issues. It was a Friday night (and it’s a pub downstairs) there was karaoke on but she explained all noise would be done for midnight. That was the case! Once in our room we couldn’t hear it anyway. A younger lad showed me to my room. He was funny and polite. The room was small but clean and bright. All i needed for a good nights sleep. Can’t complain. I’d stay again. Thank you to the staff. ❤️

This is a lovely traditional pub in the town centre. Great selection of beers and a good choice of bar meals. It feels like a pub at the heart of the community. The room and facilities were very good. Staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also very tasty. Instructions to get in after hours could have been clearer!

Nice enough place built of the local stone and with spacious dining / drinking rooms below. Lots of period features and character. My room was clean and comfortable if a little on the small side, and with iron, coffee making area, fan / heater and en-suite bathroom. The youthful staff all seemed friendly and the Holts beer is nice if you like traditional ale. There are a few niggles though: The juke box and later the bingo caller were very clearly and quite loudly audible in my room - maybe through ventilation ducts? It didn’t go on late but I was trying to do some reading and it was a distraction. I was also woken very early (5 am) by very loud rumbling which I think was water noise, presumably from next door. Meanwhile, there’s food in-house and it’s ok but not brilliant. It was only available til 3pm despite being advertised online as all day, though the staff kindly helped us out with last minute requests. A slightly bigger problem is that breakfast is not available til 1000 - no use at all if you have to get up and go out to work and, bizarrely, after the advertised check-out time. I have to say that my stay all worked out ok despite the niggles and as I only paid £80, I’m not complaining. But those spending more than 1 night or those on a tight work schedule might demand more. A shame because it has the makings of a find place to eat, drink and stay.
