Ik kom zeker terug!
Pros:

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 ;-)

Cons:

Alles prima

Excellent
Pros:

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

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like

A good overnight stay if you don’t want a breakfast
Pros:

The rooms are very well fitted out for a short stay with brewing facilities and a fridge.

Cons:

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.
