We went to fakenham races and then spent 2 days at Walsingham. Nice warm room where we could watch the passing interesting people. The food was not amazing but edible.

Lovely breakfast. Very friendly and efficient staff. Hotel is quirky with uneven floors but to be expected in a period building. Very quaint and comfortable.

The hotel was lovely. Super decor, maintaining a sense of old country inn but with a fresh modern touch.
Evening diner was surprisingly good and at a good price. Service was delightful.
Room very confortable and quiet
Very happy stay.

One night stay
Short one night stop - friendly staff and a warm welcome! Room was large with a comfortable bed, wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility problems as the stairs are quite narrow and steep and there were additional steps in our bedroom. Delicious breakfast!
