Clean and modern rooms. Very comfortable.
Would be nice to have breakfast provided as travellers want this.
Comfy and clean.. great location for visiting the local area!
Could have done with a bigger fridge/cooler
Clean, spacious and good layout. Very easy and comfortable stay.
Signage to property (missed the turning twice!)
Pub just outside very good food should do breakfast Lovely views very well kept apartment
Party going on somewhere first night hardly no sleep next night was fine And just a little traffic noise
Fab room very clean
Apartment was clean and comfortable . The room had all the facilities for a stay , everything was very well thought out from free parking to the extra tea coffee, milk , bottled water , iron, hair dryer , fridge and parking etc The bonus was having a pub next door so after a day of exploring you could go and have dinner and drink to relax if you so chose. ( note please book a table , we hadn't however , the bar staff went out of their way to accommodate us as we were staying at the motel )
Couldn’t fault it! Lovely place to stay with everything you need.
Inchecken ging makkelijk via sleutelkastje. Super schone kamer en ruikt ook heerlijk fris bij binnenkomst. Je kunt zien dat er goed voor de accommodatie gezorgd wordt. Het was heet weer maar de kamer bleef relatief koel mede dankzij de plavuizen op de vloer. Ook was er een ventilator aanwezig. Er is geen ontbijt beschikbaar maar je hebt een koelkast dus had ik een sandwich gehaald bij de supermarkt en dat was helemaal prima. Avondeten naast de accommodatie in de pub is ook prima. Kortom, ik voelde me als een varkentje in een modderpoel ;-)
Alles prima
Great place all ok thanks
All fine thx
It’s the second time we’ve stayed here and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely 1 bed house with all the facilities you need and a friendly pub on your doorstep. Would highly recommend!
Nothing, it was all perfect
It was easy to find and to park. Rooms were spacious and clean with every facility you would need for a stay.... Beds were comfortable and bathroom had both a bath and shower. Plenty of towels were given for our stay and the fridge, kettle and coffee machine plus all the assorted coffee, and tea were great
There was nothing I didn't like
The rooms are very well fitted out for a short stay with brewing facilities and a fridge.
Last time we stayed here we had breakfast at the pub on site but this option didn’t seem to be available any longer. The cafe in nearby Castle Acre didn’t open till 10 am. Also, we arrived on a Sunday with a 3pm check in but food needed to be ordered at the pub by 2:30pm so we ended up driving to Oxburgh for a pub meal in the evening.
No Breakfast included
Nothing
The location was great and the accomodation was really good.
Everything was excellant.
We only stayed 1 night but it was a lovely clean & large room. We had dinner at the George & Dragon which we recommend, staff lovely & wellcoming, good food.
it was really clean, very spacious, bed was comfortable - we loved our stay!
nothing!
Everything except the below
Tricky to find!
The location was good and handy for what we wanted to dp
Could have done with a doormat, especially on wet days
The location was spot on for our stay, the motel was so smart, clean and tidy. Having ample parking and a fab pub next door serving food was a huge bonus.
Nothing at all was to dislike.
Very spacious and clean room
Could hear noise from the next room which made sleeping more difficult.
Nespresso machine and fridge was good to keep yogurt and fruit cool as no breakfast.
Maybe a croissant or pastry would have been good with coffee
Lovely one bedroom cottage, very clean and tidy. Bonus of having air conditioning as it was warm weather when we stayed
Could have done with a few extra tea towels as we were there for three nights, were only left one. Otherwise everything was perfect
Excellent communication before and on check in. The location is perfect! So quiet, in the middle of nowhere and in the middle of everything. Its clear alot of thought has gone into everything. Already looking for another longer visit later this year. Fridge with the freezer box was a absolute game changer 🙌 as we like to sort our own breakfasts and lunches for exploring. We have stayed at places before that have dog friendly rooms. They weren't great, and nothing like advertised. This was exactly as shown, everything was so practical for our spaniel, Percy loved the tiled floor in this heat. Everything was perfectly clean and well looked after. A short drive from Centre Paws and the mid norfolk railway was perfect 👌
Can't think of anything. We loved it ❤️
Everything. Very nice.
No breakfast available, even if just continental.
Gorgeous well appointed room with everything you need including iron, water, range of tea and coffee, lovely smellies, small fridge. Huge bed, with good shower. Great ambient temperature, quiet, ample parking. Felt luxurious for a 'motel' Entry instructions were clear. **READ THE CLIPBOARD - ALL INFO ON THERE WAS USEFUL!**
**READ THE CLIPBOARD - ALL INFO ON THERE WAS USEFUL!** Wi-Fi was temperamental and couldn't really support my laptop but that was explained on the clipboard. I actually bounced the wifi from my phone data and that worked well. It is a rural location, so expect countryside smells, and rare tiny visitors.
Smart, well presented, comfy bed .Everything was there except meals 😄
All was good and well explained.Respond well to questions asked and on time.
Very comfortable room with nice large bed and bedding. Good bathroom and great facilities in room for tea and coffee, which included a fridge. Great food and drink at the adjoining pub.
Small parking spaces and dead rabbits on grass beside car park.
Cosy modern hut. Quiet. Suited us entirely.
Nothing
The location was amazing. Perfect location for the wedding we went to. Wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the pub next door and beautiful village it was in.
If I could pick one tiny, tiny thing is that it needed a mirror in the bedroom, but it did have a big mirror in bedroom, which was perfect, but would have been great if one in the room, but that is being very very picky as everything was perfect.
A very restful night sleep, we enjoyed some wine in the pub next door. Comfy bed. Good communication before our stay
Beautiful location and lovely room!
Nothing
Very clean, good facilities in the room.
Wish there could of been a box tissues.
Very spacious and clean. Well equipped kitchen.
We found this Motel so we could have an Easter weekend with family, absolutely fabulous, we loved the location and the rooms were excellent, clean and tidy, plenty of tea, coffee, etc facilities and everything that you need has been thought of. Booking in was easy at the pub and everyone was very friendly cannot recommend this enough, we loved it!!
Nothing
Brilliant room, lovely and clean, very spacious, parking right outside.
Extremely clean and comfortable
N/A
This was the perfect resting spot for my colleagues and I. The host was very responsive & accommodating with all our requests regarding room arrangements, parking, and late check in. The location and views were so calming, rooms were spacious, clean & well equipped with some snacks, teas, coffees etc. Definitely saving this spot for whenever I happen to return to King’s Lynn.
Great room sizes, spotlessly clean. All amenities were perfect. Loved it.
Not an issue but when busy, the parking space per vehicle did seem tight.
Location and price
Nothing
Not applicable
It was so spacious! Lovely and cosy
Nothing - was perfect
We arrived after a text giving us instructions of how to get in. I panicked that I hadn’t paid enough, we had a dog and it was £10 a night which I hadn’t paid, but I left a voicemail, very quick response via text and they said to just to leave cash in the room (had I read the instructions, I would’ve known that) Room was large, lovely underfloor heating. Lovely rustic furniture. Everything was nice. The tea tray was perfect, so much choice. Handy for castle acre, we will be coming back, as we booked while our house was being decorated! We want to come back to get the full experience of having the George and Dragon literally on site (it was being refurbished during our stay) definitely would recommend!!!
No breakfast available, but guidance where to go.
We much appreciated the fridge and the Nespresso machine. Thank you!
Didn’t like twin beds - too small. My fault as thought I’d booked double room.
Everything
Nothing
Everything about the property was amazing. Definitely looking to book again soon
Nothing
Clean good livs stinky
Very big lovely place
The style, facilities, pub next door!
bigger towels would have been better. Bath towels were small, not what we expected as the rest of the facilities were great
The room was lovely and clean with a large comfy bed.
The tv couldn’t connect to the WiFi very well, no apps worked.
Very clean, lots of space, great communication prior to arrival. Lots of parking
For a double room to only have one comfortable chair was a little disappointment
Stayed a few times over the years. Rooms aren't too bad, starting to look a bit tired in places and the mattresses are a bit flat now. Most annoyingly on the last stay, the previous occupants had obviously been smoking weed in the room as the smell hit you as soon as you opened the door - it was especially bad around the window (smell had been absorbed in to the curtains). Ended up sleeping with the windows wide open which meant quite a cold night.
lovely and clean, friendly staff, quite all excellent
nothing
Super convenient, comfortable and clean
Grosses Zimmer, sehr gut eingerichtet. Sogar Kühlschrank und Nespresso Maschine mit einer vielfältigen Auswahl an Kaffee, verschiedene Teesorten. Ich war schon öfter dort. Auch Hunde erlaubt in manchen Zimmern.
Amazing place! We went for tea at the pub which was delicious with great service! Very clean, spacious and modern!
No facilities for breakfast. Even the option of a breakfast hamper would have been great!
Location , communication and left some things in my room they were kept safe and put in my allocated room for the next weeks stay Thank you
Nothing
I've stayed here several times now, it's spacious, clean, warm and comfortable with a dedicated parking space. The onsite pub is quirky but nice and the food is really good and the staff friendly although the kitchen does close relatively early.
I find the shower a bit awkward, would benefit from a shower screen rather than a curtain.
Comfortable
Room 3 is next to a noisy boiler room.
Right next to the pub Spacious Well designed and thought out Easy check in
Had no control over the temperature. It was really hot in the day and cooler at night
Smart, clean and comfortable. Spacious, great facilities in the room and very peaceful and quiet. Brilliant stay, would highly recommend!
Great location, very comfortable and pleasant.
Lovely modern eco friendly accomodation. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Will be rebooking in the future.
This was our second stay. The rooms are large and spotlessly clean. The location is great - right next to Castle Acre and within 30 minutes drive of the coast. The pub next door serves really great food.
Nothing.
Very comfortable, quiet stay. The room was really well furnished with everything I needed. Excellent shower and many extras, including a good coffee making machine. It is just across the car park from the George and Dragon pub, where you can get a good meal.
Breakfast wasn’t included. But the location was very good.
Nothing to dislike.
Easy check in, beautiful location, everything you need and more. Amazing pub next door, serving the nicest food and drinks.
Loved the room, very spacious, beds very comfortable,had great parking with your own space.
The room could have done with a full sized mirror on the wall & an extra armchair so both people can sit comfortably.
Safe parking, great place to stay
