Heritage Festival event

We enjoyed the restaurant and the accommodation. The breakfast was also very good. This was a perfect hotel for our festival event at Sandringham at a reasonable price.

We stayed for 3 nights, Friday to Monday, we paid over £100 per night. I feel a little generous giving it an average. - Room: The room we stayed on the first floor was large, but the furnishing was lacking and looked dated. There was a huge area of water mark (about 50 x 50 cm) on the corner just above the bed. Not pleasant to look at, and we wonder why they can't just paint it over... There was no luggage rack so we have to put it on the floor and bend over to get things in/out of it. Cleanness was okay, but nothing made me feel it was well looked after. - Bathroom: Pretty basic. There were only 2 hooks at the back of the toilet door, nowhere to place change clothes, nor a place for face wash or own shampoo in the shower unit. - Breakfast: It is NOT a B&B so we had to pay £7.5 for a continental breakfast, or ~£10.50 for cooked (weekends only). As there was very little option around, paying for breakfast was a choice out of no choice... To be fair, the food wasn't bad. - Meals: Same as above, because there was little option around, we ended up having 2 dinners there. Again, food was okay (we had burgers and Sunday roasts). - Noise: They had a beer garden just under our window. There was no limit to the hours and 2 parties were still chatting after 11pm on one night. Overall, we felt the place had better facilities in the pub downstairs than the rooms. It is probably better positioned as a pub with rooms, not a 3-star hotel. A word to the owner? Some TLC pls.

Location wise this will not be for everyone as it is a little secluded, but for those whom are looking for a base to use that isn't Town / City centre it is ideal, beautiful setting with friendly and welcoming staff; this was my second stay in as many months and although not my usual choice of hotel (usually boutique / luxury hotels) I found myself submerged in the "quiet charm" of the hotel and staff; I would also add that the beds (mattress topper / linen) is worth of any 5* hotel that I have stayed in; so comfortable with a wonderfully sized bed. Yes, there are a few elements that could do with updating but this is reflected in the price and my usually very picky self found this all part of the charm / stay.

Our second stay here, clean well decorated bedroom of a good size (Room9). Quiet as on the upper floor. Good pub menu with generous portions. It was nice weather so sat outside with a drink before going in to eat.
