Fakenham Hotel Reviews

Excellently situated for lots of places to visit.

5 / 5 Excellent

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. There was lots of room and the house was clean, comfortable and tidy. The garden was really beautiful. Little Snoring is in just the right situation for visits to the Fakenham, the North coast or East to Norwich, west to Kings Lynn. There are lots of nearby National Trust/ other owned properties to visit. The only slight criticism (which is probably a plus for some) was that I couldn’t find an ironing board though there is an iron, and maybe a few more mugs and extra cutlery so we didn’t have to wash up so much. There is however a good dishwasher. We would highly recommend staying in this property. Thank you very much to the owners

Lovely base for a north Norfolk holiday

5 / 5 Excellent

Very nice property, good size - much more than an ‘annexe’ sounds! Well equipped. Ten minutes walk to town. Recommend Tandoori, Running Horse and Mr Chips. Aha! Good location for exploring north Norfolk. Playground for kids a few mins walk away.

5 / 5 Excellent

We were met by the owner Audrey who is a lady of great character with an interesting history. She has a home which is bedecked with vintage memorabilia & breakfast was serenaded by the likes of Glenn Miller. We had a room with king sized bed which was very comfortable & the en-suite clean & well equipped with large jacuzzi bath as well as a free standing shower cubicle. Breakfast was satisfying with a good choice of food.

After having our family trip to Florida cancelled due to Covid of course! We decided on a long weekend break in Norfolk and found this gem of accommodation! Fantastic house, well equipped for our family, 2 dogs and a small baby! Love, love, loved it and will certainly recommend and we will return in 2021!

Wensum House Annexe - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 1 bedroom

Highly recommended

5 / 5 Excellent

Wensum House Annexe was an ideal base for our week in Norfolk - full of character, yet comfortable and well appointed. The property was spotlessly clean with all possible precautions taken to comply with Covid security. The owners were helpful. Would definitely recommend.
