I was looking for a one night stay close to Diss for the 2017 Organ Festival. I searched on proximity and price and Hazel Barn met my requirements. For a bed and breakfast Hazel Barn far exceeded my expectations. The owners are very welcoming and friendly and the breakfast provided was absolutely superb. Nice room with en-suite and access to a fridge in communal kitchen area serving the 3 guest suites. It is nice to have fresh milk for your early morning tea rather than the long life little pots...

Beautifully refurbished rooms, very friendly staff, and great food. Some noise from the bar/garden - as you would expect from an Inn - but very quiet after closing time, with a very comfy bed. Great value.

My favourite East Anglian hotel - recently refurbished, just as friendly and welcoming. As usual there were all sorts here, it's a proper 'local' - good food, good beer, good cheer! Lots of interesting opinions - all topical issues covered and easily overheard. The bar has two tellies now, and I enjoyed watching the end of an ODI (Sri Lanka won), and then some Happy Valley with mein hosts.
I thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here (as long as you can do stairs), it's reasonably priced, the...

The room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. What really made the stay was the staff - I was unable to book a taxi to a wedding and one of the receptionists, Corina, offered to take me to the venue. What superb customer service and I can't thank her enough!

We had a great stay, with everything we needed. Exceeded expectations and will certainly book again if in the area. Very convenient with on site parking and an easy walk into the city centre.

Charming, centuries old country pub with not a straight beam in the place. Our room was large, characterful, spotless and comfortable. Decent pub grub delivered with especially warm and friendly service.

We picked this hotel at random whilst travelling towards Norwich just expecting an ordinary little pub. Imagine our surprise when we were shown to a roomy room with a large en suite. Also deciding to have dinner we were served a beautifully presented meal which would compete favorably with many of the restaurants in the area and beyond. The staff were friendly and well versed in the history of the area.

The best area to stay in Old Buckenham is within the village itself or in the immediate surrounding countryside.
The village of Old Buckenham is centred around a large village green, one of the biggest in England, and is home to the remains of Old Buckenham Castle. You'll find a couple of traditional pubs here, like The Gamekeeper, and a village shop. It's a quiet, rural setting, superb for those looking to escape the bustle of city life.
Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the village's peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity for leisurely walks through the countryside. It's an ideal base for exploring the local area at a gentle pace, perhaps visiting the nearby church or simply enjoying the village green.
For those who value a bit more seclusion and direct access to nature, staying in a well-appointed cottage or guesthouse just outside the village offers a wonderful experience.
When is the best time to go to Old Buckenham?
The best time to visit Old Buckenham is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its most pleasant for enjoying outdoor activities.
During this period, you can expect warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, making it ideal for exploring the local countryside, visiting the Old Buckenham Country Park, or attending events at the Old Buckenham Airfield. It's great for couples or families looking to make the most of the tranquil surroundings and outdoor pursuits.
Should you prefer a quieter experience with fewer visitors, the shoulder seasons of May or September also offer agreeable weather.
