Room good and well fitted out. Food great but beware it’s over generous! ##### Mrs K M Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely room. Ours was at the top, it was a hot night and heat rises! We did have the windows open but it’s quite a busy road so lots of road noise. The blind also let in a lot of light too and if light sensitive there was a bright green light shinning in the ceiling. Bed very comfortable as were the pillows. Restaurant packed and the food was good. I had the roast and my husband had the mutton curry - huge potions. Staff very helpful and smiley but rushed off their feet. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48f147ea-0cb1-4bcc-83af-d44fd3dca4b8-1756106247744.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c42b57f2-8a2e-4d9b-93ac-8768be44c69a-1756106247581.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7829b047-69a5-43bf-b3c3-2f05d7e760b0-1756106246817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d983673-e591-4b52-b4de-a317ae555013-1756106246360.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 25 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Doggy frendly Very nice room food lovely and good we could take the dog 😁 ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### JUST BRILLIANT This is the third occasion we have stayed at The Recruiting Sergeant and hopefully it won't be the last. We received a prompt and friendly check-in on arrival and were shown to our first-floor room which was a good size, as was the bathroom. Both were spotless and were kept that way for the duration of our 4 night stay. Overlooking the road caused us no concerns. Great choice of good quality food for breakfast and we had our evening meal there on 3 of the 4 nights. Superb choice of food and wine which us well-cooked, plentiful, and served by well-mannered and good-humoured staff. ##### Timothy Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duncan 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely Quaint Pub with High Standard of Dining I stopped for one night on business and found it to be a real gem. Lovely friendly team and amazing restaurant with high end menu choices and very well cheffed food. It was Tuesday evening and they looked fully booked for food which said a lot to me. Great selection of beers too. Parking on site was free and had a lovely breakfast in the morning nd great chat with the owner in relation to its aerospace connections. Overall would stay again 100% ##### Duncan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julie 31 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely property Hotel was very nice but really busy so parking was an issue. We had the attic room which had a low slanted ceiling which I wouldn’t want to stay in again. No WiFi code given and bathroom too hot. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stuart 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Amazing food. Basic rooms The rooms are basic, and as a repeat customer I know this. No shower in this particular room, but a large bath. Biggest issue - room was freezing with no way to tweak heating. No iron in the room either. ##### Stuart Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We choose this venue as a base to explore Norfolk for a weekend, the location makes it an easy drive to the beach. We couldn't fault the food it was amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful :) The best thing about our room was the under floor heating in the bathroom, the rest of the room was just adequate, could do with a little bit of an up grade. The upstairs and leading to the bedrooms just looked a little shabby. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### GREAT PLACE TO STAY This is the second time my wife and I have stayed here. The room we had overlooked the car park at the front but no problem whatsoever. Decent size room with good sized bathroom. Clean and tidy with good storage space. We first visited for an evening meal a few years ago and were impressed by both the welcome we got, and also the quality and variety of the food. Nothing has changed in that time with standards being just as high. Convenient for Norwich, the Broads and the coast, and serving an excellent breakfast, I can recommend The Recruiting Sergeant to anyone. ##### Timothy Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dissapointing stay Disappointing stay.small room in loft space.paintwork shabby.
