Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Knights Hill Hotel & Spa is a place of contrasting opinions among guests. While the hotel's setting is often described as beautiful and its rooms praised for cleanliness and comfort, some guests feel these positives are overshadowed by the hotel's value for money, citing overpriced offerings with small portions, outdated decor, and underwhelming spa treatments.
Service generally receives compliments for the staff's politeness and helpfulness, but inconsistencies at the spa and restaurant have been noted. The pool and spa are popular amenities, yet there's a call for modernization across the board.

Overall the hotel is in lovely grounds, most of the communal areas are decorated well, our room was in the currently undergoing decoration area, it does have a kettle, iron, tea and coffee in the room, and complimentary biscuits, which is nice, however, if you use them on arrival you’ll need to ask for more as they are not refreshed daily. it looked ok for a family, although we were a couple, so can’t really say. The location is not far away from Castle rising, Hunstanton and Kings Lynn . Reception is very helpful and the restaurant and bar staff are helpful, the cooked breakfast is tasty. For a 4 star hotel and spar I would expect a sauna and steam room open for business and I would also expect our room to be cleaned at least once on a 3 night stay, of which neither were, nor was this reflected in the full price paid, or mentioned on making a reservation.There’s plenty of parking at the hotel , local towns are nice to wander around.
I’d check in future what is actually available before booking and I’ve given a rating based on the sauna, steam room and room cleaning not being of a standard I would expect for the price I paid.

Well situated hotel and friendly, helpful staff who are quick to respond to requests. We were more than happy to receive a room upgrade to a garden room (having stayed here previously in a standard room, it was nice to have a balcony). However, they need to be deep cleaning rooms in response to Covid and this is clearly not happening. Our toilet was dirty where the seat is fixed to the bowl, door handles didn't feel clean, there was the odd hair here and there and water marks on things plus one of the pillow cases had black marks on it. Generally, we didn't feel that the room was clean enough. There was only one set of towels (but 2 of us) and not enough coffee/milk on the hospitality tray (especially since, on a 2 night stay, the room is not serviced and therefore the tray is not replenished). Breakfast is also an issue. It is a pre-order service. Top marks to the staff for trying hard but the first morning, we chose to eat in our room and we received the wrong order and the food was stone cold (I only ordered a poached egg and received a full English!). So, the second morning, we decided to eat in the restaurant but it wasn't a great deal better...they still got the order wrong and the food was only tepid. It's a shame as we want these hotels to survive but we also need to feel safe and receive what we pay for. We paid the extra £15 each for breakfast but to be quite honest, we would have been better having breakfast freshly cooked elsewhere. The breakfast we had, had it been put in front of me anywhere else, I would have sent it back and refused to pay.

Rude and unwelcoming receptionist didn't really explain where anything was (eg: restaurant, breakfast or pub that is part of the building) or that we had to get towels from reception for the swimming pool there was no explanation as to what time the restaurant closed or stopped serving food. Was just given an envelope on check in and payment taken having found our room it was lovely and spacious the bathroom was out dated but overall nice but unfortunately there was no room service menus bar or restaurant menus in the room once we called for room service menus we was given just one menu for the restaurant which was not to our taste. No bottled water in the room which you would expect from any 3* and above hotel! Having called down to book for dinner we arrived thinking we were booked in for a pub style meal but again given the same menu that was not for us! Having spoken to the lovely girls in the restaurant we were told we could take out drinks and go to the pub with them as we didn't need to book and they served food also we was not aware of this as we were not told by the receptionist earlier.. we arrived at the pub at 7:58pm and they stopped serving at 8pm the lovely staff there got our orders in and it was fast and delightful just what we needed while waiting for our food my partner ran back and ordered us a bottle of malbec and a cheese board for 2 for 9pm at our room with the receptionist.
On the way up to the room at around 8:45 we noticed the receptionist and a chef stood talking in the reception area so we let the restaurant staff know on the way past that we would be ready for our cheese board and bottle of wine as we are headed up now they had no clue what we were talking about as the receptionist hadn't passed the information by across to the restaurant.. anyway the cheese board came and my partner and I were shocked his words "should I have brought my own cheese to this cheese board" there were 4 crackers and 3 very small slices of cheese not enough for 1 never mind 2.
We had to call down for water and were charged £4 for a small bottle.
The pool was freezing and there was no staff keeping an eye out at their desk is round the corner I couldn't help but think if someone was drowning they wouldn't know about it.
Overall not the best stay would have been a lot better if we had a better explanation as to where things were and what was what by the receptionist or even better information inside the express check in envelope having worked in a hotel myself for the last 3 years I know that the check in process can be busy but we were the only ones checking in so there was no reason for us not to be given the information we needed.
Not impressed at all really with the lack of information and lack of care from some of the staff. 2*

Another wonderful stay at this hotel. The reception staff are so very attentive and welcoming as usual. We use this hotel as a stop over before visiting my elderly mother in Downham Market and they truly make every effort to ensure the customers come first. Obviously with Covid your breakfast is now served to you and not buffet and the staff work extremely hard to ensure everyone is looked after during your chosen time. Our room was lovely and had a balcony and as the afternoon was sunny we could relax with a glass of wine just looking over the fields. My husband had a conference meeting the following morning before we went to see mum and the WiFi was brilliant. They have coped extremely well with Covid measures and the you are constantly seeing house keeping around doing a fabulous job. Well done to you all and thank you for always looking after us. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Keep safe xxx

We stayed for 3 nights in a superior room on a DBB basis. The room was very large and clean but was quite a hike from reception. Our only minor gripe was the heating control which could have been much more sensitive and resulted in extreme hot or cold.
The quality and choice of food in the restaurant was mainly good with a set menu which changed each night. However the food was obviously largely precooked which meant prompt service but both the lamb and duck we ordered were overdone. For a hotel running an on-site pub, the choice of beers was abysmal consisting entirely of foreign brands. Why not a single British ale? Under covid rules, breakfast had to be pre-ordered the night before. Again the quality was good and service prompt but slightly let down by a lack of any fruit or choice of eggs (fried only). All the staff were friendly and efficient.
We are Best Western Rewards members and are constantly bombarded with emails containing special offers. Be very careful with these as we found that booking a DBB short break directly was significantly cheaper than the claimed 3 nights for the price of 2 in an email. The Best Western website is deliberately confusing offering multiple deals at vastly differing rates, and even having different names for the same class of room.
Despite the minor glitches, we'd definitely return given the same deal.

It's 4 star Jim, but not as we know it. The staff are friendly, welcoming, polite and keen to assist. They appear to lack training, I comment I noted various other guests commenting on. The property is tired with a lot of minor damage and scuff marks throughout including the pool. The décor is very dated, dark and heavy drapes and old fashioned furniture in the room we had. The lounge bar and 2 rooms off of it feel like an old fashioned club and not in a good way. Ordering drinks was challenging: ask to see the menu. Food at dinner was actually good: the menu changes daily, the fish was cooked very nicely, there was a charcuterie starter one evening that was very good, the cheese board is also not all bad. Being a fussy eater I asked for all sorts of variations on the menu, all happily carried out. Short, good value wine list. Breakfast: orders are written down yet daily were wrong. Also, the fact that we had booked B&B was not passed on the the restaurant and we were billed for breakfast (rectified when pointed out). An error? Money making? Bathrobes not allowed, "due to Covid". We came home 2 days early in the end.

We stayed two nights at the Knights Hill, a rambling complex but sympathetic outwardly. Our room had pleasant views over the fields and was comfortable and spacious with furnishings and decor from hotel corporate. The bathroom was up to standard with shower over bath, w.c., wash basin. Some rooms have walk in shower.
Although the hotel is located by a main road roundabout the hotel was quiet inside.
There is an onsite pub, a few strides down the driveway; it had a chain pub feel to the atmosphere and the decor was pseudo olde worlde. We instead dined in the hotel dining room which had a cold souless atmosphere to it not helped by the stark bright lighting. One evening we were seated by the light switches which had dimmer controls so I adjusted the lights down and that helped. The dining room decor also didn't help. There were large windows in the dining room that gave extensive views out over fields. As for the menu, the limited choices changed nightly, but were imaginative and the food was quite good as was the service.
It would be so easy to make the dining room more hospitable: soften the lighting, occasional floor plants, some accessories to break up the monotony of the room. Shame because the the food was very enjoyable.
The other public areas suffered from over bright lighting as well.
Covid measures seemed up to the mark and staff were polite and helpful.
Overall, a pretty average hotel despite it's title, 'Signature'. But with some basic adjustments in the dining room and sympathetic lighting it could easily be a nicer place.
Shaking off the chain feel to the place could be done with some imaginative management.

This was or first trip away after the various Covid lockdowns and I have to say that the hotel coped exceptionally well in the circumstances. They were not servicing rooms but anything that one wanted like clean mugs or fresh milk were readily brought to our room. The spacious room itself was a delight, ground floor with double doors opening onto a lovely garden. Staff were pleasant and always willing to help. The Brasserie was a great place to eat with super food, we ate one night at The Farmers, the attached pub, a not to be repeated experience with very slow service and a fish meal that should have been wonderful as the fish looked excellent but was far too overcooked.
