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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 10 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Five stars all round - a great pub stay in Norfolk ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Morag 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great accommodation and food A lovely midweek stay and an exceptional evening meal and breakfast! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0a7dc75f-4a04-4226-960d-c030192f4b87-1755938132317.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c8fe5794-d053-4ce1-9028-b93f653b417c-1755938133882.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1ecb78dc-9b44-417d-8082-987d13defd07-1755938134777.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e0fd6c0-f79f-4a83-9e94-02f420a700db-1755938135224.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Morag Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent variety and quality ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7a5bc99d-b27c-4452-9381-01a767ef3c04-1762714755133.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f598f554-70b2-4873-bb6f-6a83b1546ed2-1762714770027.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f5bc6b78-6ebe-48a4-aa68-513575767c4a-1762714785418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda 12 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were really welcoming breakfast was great ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 27 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great 2 Day Stay Great B&B with fantastic restaurant, quality food and large portions.

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 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > - [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Farm Hotel & Leisure](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Park-Farm-Hotel-Leisure.h1466553.Hotel-Information) > - [The Kings Head Inn ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Kings-Head-Inn.h112498781.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Rectory Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Old-Rectory-Hotel.h5074137.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > - [Wensum Valley Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Wensum-Valley-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h1780519.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > - [The Black Swan Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Black-Swan-Inn.h19628409.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ram at Tivetshall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Old-Ram-Coaching-Inn.h11899341.Hotel-Information) > - [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > - [New!
