You can light a candle for a loved one which I always do for my beautiful dad who passed 6 months ago.
Beautiful stained glass windows.Written March 8, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Would thoroughly recommend this for a family day out, lots of open space, is dog friendly, and lovely walled gardens.
Being disabled, the parking was free and easy to locate, and a short walk next to the house. You find yourself being absorbed into the history of the family and the house.Written February 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - TJSwanseaSwansea, UK19 contributionsThe Norfolk broads is a holiday experience that you either love or hate. We love it and have been many times. Previous reviewers state there s nothing but reeds in between moorings. Without the reeds there would be no thatched buildings. The reeds are a big part of the broads. It's a bit like saying that if you're in woodlands there's nothing but trees. The broads are rivers interconnecting to some very pretty villages. A few pubs along the way and plenty of walks.
The downside for us is we're getting older and struggled with the boat more than on previous years. Also the sheer rudeness of some anglers who spoilt it for us at several moorings. Add to that the yachts that overtook us to prevent us from mooring when we really needed supplies. It was becoming frustrating at every mooring. Which took away the enjoyment of previous years.
Will we go again, yes but probably not for a few years and probably in a riverside cottage not a boat. It is expensive but it's always been expensive. Pretty much the same with narrow boating there is a cost to maintaining and building boats.Written November 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We will definitely be back.Written November 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Peter ABedworth, UK39 contributionsFantastic gardens and certainly worth a visit. Café expensive but quality very good.
My only real criticism is there should be a free garden map so as not to miss anything. There is a guide with a map at a price of £5.Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The whole garden was exceptionally well cared for and very colourful considering the lateness of the season and the shade from surrounding trees which has to be contended with.
Congratulations to all concerned, a well organised bunch if the presentation of this gem is anything to go by.Written September 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Whilst most buildings were destroyed in a fire in 1507, one building remains from that time (The Britons Arms). Also, due to Dutch Elm disease, there are no-longer any Elm trees. However, this picture postcard area of the city is worth a visit.Written February 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- derek61Newmarket, UK922 contributionsAlthough a newish building it has a nice feeling and a good auditorium. We watched Girl on a Train. Very good show acted out very well by the eight cast members congratulations to them. The only problem for us and others in the front stalls area. We in the stalls four rows from the front. It was very cold people were starting to put their coats back on. The dry ice (smoke) may give an atmosphere but several people including one of us were coughing on good if you have a breathing problem.Written February 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had never seen so many swans in one area at the same time. A few boats moored to the bank some in need of repair.Written February 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FarwriterLondon, UK175 contributionsWow, what a great museum! It is spread over two floors and tells the story of Norwich roughly chronologically. I love social/industrial history and I really love a fake shop front (!) so I particularly enjoyed the section about the high street, which told the story of various real shops from Norwich's history, with exhibits displayed in shop windows and information boards hanging on brackets like shop signs - really well designed. Also on the shop theme, there is an incredible replica Victorian/Edwardian chemist shop containing old packaging which was collected by a former chemist when he saw several old businesses closing down. Upstairs is mainly concerned with local industries and factories, including Colman's Mustard, Caley's confectionery, and the many shoe factories which used to be in the town. There is also some domestic history about the living conditions of people in the early part of the 20th century, including some fascinating oral history recordings, and a fantastic doll's house made during WW2 out of scraps and household items. The history of the textile trade which is integral to Norwich's history was also well told, and the building was a small prison at one stage of its history so there is also a room about this. There were so many interesting things to see - I was there about three hours and could really have spent even longer. This was a highlight of my trip to Norwich.Written February 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
