“In Norwich, this address struck me as a blend of Georgian elegance and boutique charm, located steps from the city's historic core. The individually prepared breakfast stood out for its quality, as did the attentiveness of the staff. Though some aspects could use a refresh, its central location and the unique character of the building make it a worthwhile choice.”

Car parking was easy following the given directions! check-in was smooth. I was even escorted to my room. the room was nice and neat. the bathroom had lovely towels and was well stocked.

the springs on one of the beds were very noticeable and uncomfortable. i had to wait nearly an hour for my cooked breakfast! when i mentioned issues with the room, the reception staff didn't seem concerned.
