Another stay at the 3 Pickerel and another brilliant time for us .
Our room , number 3 , was lovely and so cosy . As usual, it was immaculate .
The staff was very friendly and efficient considering how busy the place was ...
And then, we had a very enjoyable dinner with a very nice apple tart !
Really our favourite place on our way to Norfolk.
Tv , all channels worked! Net, great speed, shower awesome... food 1st class! Balcony would be beautiful in the summer ... didn't like all the main doors closed! Would've preffered all open lol. Lovely spot. Will be there again.
I’ve stayed here many times, and the staff are always friendly. It’s in a lovely, scenic location, and the rooms are generally good. The only downside is the rooms can get very warm.
What a fabulous place to stay! Beautiful location by the river, lovely bar with great garden serving Pizzas on the Friday night from the garden container but a lovely restaurant too (we ate there and it was delicious food). The rooms are lovely and modern & very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful and all in all a fantastic and reasonable priced stay. We will definitely return if we are in the area again! 5*
