A holiday in Norfolk is not a glamorous break. While the Norfolk Broads of East Anglia are a beautiful part of the UK, they represent a relaxing rural getaway rather than a high-powered city-break. Although its reputation is mostly rural, with people associating the county mostly with the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads, there are also towns such as Norwich and King's Lynn to visit, both of which provide shopping opportunities, nightlife and entertainment. Norfolk also contains a large stretch of coastline, and seaside destinations such as Cromer and Great Yearmouth mean there are great beaches to be found as well. Many areas of the Norfolk Broads and the coastal region are sites of outstanding natural beauty, and are also protected as bird reserves, so take a pair of binoculars on holiday. There are also popular wildlife attractions such as Banham Zoo, with a great collection of big cats, and Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre, one of the biggest of its kind in the country, complete with tropical sharks and conger eels. And of course, if any of your family are interested in boating, you'll need to rent a boat and explore the waterways of the Broads themselves!

47 newly refurbished apartments in the heart of Norwich, a stones throw from the Cathedral, renowned shopping and great night life. Each of the apartments has en-suite bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, washing machine and smart TV. With a range of studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments along with sofa beds in some apartments there really is the perfect apartment for your stay.
Had a fantastic nights stay here. My room was clean, comfortable and spacious. While I didn't use it on my night's stay, the kitchenette would be perfect to cook a straightforward meal. It's easily found and is walking distance from Riverside, train station and City Center. Would comfortably suit a couple and a perfect location for a weekend or longer in Norwich.

Very over priced (£185 p/n) considering the appearance of our room. Stains on the carpets, dust on the bed (4 poster - what's the point of a 4 poster bed without a canopy?), and the limescale / grot around the bottom of the shower screen was awful. The toiletries (little bottles of hair/body wash) were beautifully presented in the bathroom.. haha, I mean they were shoved into one of the plastic drinking cups, as were the 2 bars of soap... Mattress - rock hard... no give in it at all (and I like medium to firm). I appreciate it's down to what you like, but I questioned whether we were sleeping on the bed slats rather than a mattress as there was just so little give or bounce in it The rooms are "individually" decorated apparently, which usually means there's a theme to each one... not here... bland apart from a bright blue canvas on the wall - they need to sack the interior decorator I think.... nothing seems to tie in together and it just doesn't seem welcoming or comfortable. I would've been happier in a Travelodge to be honest Food - evening meal was good, generous qty and tasty. Breakfast was OK too, just lacked some pastries Staff - all friendly enough.... I think overall it just needs some money and time thrown at it

Escape to the North Norfolk coast & enjoy an idllyic beach getaway at The Ship Inn. Our restaurant with rooms is the perfect place for eating, drinking & relaxing, exuding nautical charm where you can walk straight onto the golden sands of Mundesley Beach. We operate a 72 hour cancellation policy. We're proud to be a dog friendly establishment
I booked a 2 night stay at The Ship for my husbands birthday weekend and our dog. We booked an executive seaview room and it was really nicely furnished and the view was nice but we had the kitchen extractor fan right next to our window from 7.30am-10.30pm! It was room 1, they offered another room but it was not as nice. The staff just kept saying that the fan was legislation so must keep running, that may well be the case but does it have to be facing a bedroom?? There was no mention of it when we booked and for £230 a night I feel the service should be better. I recorded the noise as it was so bad but tripadvisor won’t let me upload it. We had a nice table for dinner although the staff who had finished their shifts were sat behind like a staff room, not very professional! Would definitely not return or recommend.

After booking with Orlando last year for this years let’s rock. We were greeted by Orlando, to say what a lovely man. He couldn’t do enough for us. The decor is a bit dated but at the end of the day , the bed was very comfortable and we had a good nights sleep, the shared toilet was a bit of an experience but it wasn’t very far away. All in all a great place to stay. The breakfast with Orlando’s twist was great.

Littleholme was a good base to stay for access to the broads and beautiful beaches. Lisa and Gos were excellent hosts and made our three night stay special, they provided great breakfasts and catered for my gluten intolerance . There was a homely atmosphere ,very comfy four poster bed without being fancy, we felt like we could come back from a long walk and not have to take our boots off immediately..

You know you have arrived at a good place when your horse is given a stable after a long day riding. Heidi & Hugh reserved us a friendly welcome in their beautifully appointed Hill Farm. From the refined decoration of the bedroom, the comfortable bed, the delicious breakfast to the best quality fodder for my horse, Hill Farm has it all. Bonus for me was to be able to see my horse across the courtyard! Thank you.

We returned yet again (visit 5) to The Olde Windmill and found everything unchanged. Service and accommodation are excellent supplemented by a good range of ales. The hotel quality rooms are spacious and the beds comfy. The bathrooms are well lit. It's hard to find fault!
