Our stay at the Ivy Dene proved to be very comfortable and enjoyable. Dave the landlord made us feel incredibly welcome throughout and was extremely attentive. The rooms were pleasant and clean with comfortable beds and breakfast was very fresh and tasty. Ideal location for Norwich city centre. Parking a little tricky but permits provided so perfectly workable. Would certainly... More

This great City Central place is not far from both bus and train stations, so access was easily achieved. My Wife and I found this friendly guest house to be clean and very comfortable. The room which we stayed in was warm and the washing facilities were more than adequate with ample towels and soap substances. When we arrived which... More

Although the double bed room was a little worn and the bathroom tiny, the bed at Ive Dene's was most comfortable and the shower a nice strong one. Ellie, from Barcelona, was our hostess and was a delight and very helpful. And while the location seems central, check your directions ahead of time or you could go the long way... More

We had a holiday booked in Cromer, but had to travel south earlier than planned for work, rather than return back to lancashire we decided to spend the "spare days" exploring South Norfolk.
