Old coaching inn
Lovely old coaching inn. We had a large room.
The bed was a four poster. The mattress was extremely soft. Too soft for me. It felt a bit like a water bed.
We only ate breakfast at the Ram. The food was very nice but service a bit slow.
It's a lovely place. Full of character and history.

Excellent
Our third stay at the Old Ram and, as before, we found the staff friendly and welcoming. The meals we had in the restaurant were delicious and the staff were attentive to our needs. The Old Ram is an ideal place to stay for a visit to Norwich and the surrounding area.

1 night stay
Stayed in room 1, bed was a little hard for me. Also radiator in bathroom was permanently on and couldn’t switch off!! Not ideal when the temperature outside is 25 degrees. Food was nice but it was an empty restaurant with 2 dinners at the time, which they put us both in the corner next to each other. Felt a bit intrusive.

The staff are amazing and the food in the bar is lovely. I stayed in room 3 and the noise from the road is terrible. The noise doesn’t stop all night. The shower has a wooden frame running through it. It’s covered in cob webs and the room was also not cleaned and covered in cob webs. Unfortunately due to the cleanness of the room and the noise I wouldn’t stop there again. Though I would definitely eat there again. Shame as it has potential to be a lovely place to stop.

Comfortable and clean, but needs a little tlc.
Perfectly comfortable and clean, with friendly service. However the rooms are very dated and tired. Ideal stop if all you need is somewhere to lay your head. Take your own hairdryer and toiletries.

Pleasant & Friendly
Great pub,restaurant with comfortable accommodation, friendly helpful staff, the pub has a great selection of beers & lagers the restaurant has a good menu with great food. As they are right on tha A140 can be noisy at night unless you get a room at the rear. Highly recommended
