Rooms amazing, food not so good

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 24, 2024via mobile
Me and my partner stayed in one of the spa cabins last night for my birthday. We were greeted by a lovely lady on check in (I didn’t get her name but she was so lovely!), and off we went to our room. The spa cabins are beautiful, included is a hot-tub and a sauna, you get a sofa and a large tv as well as a super comfy bed, I cannot fault the room at all, it was perfect and gives such a lovely view out onto a field as well. They also provide room service meaning we could get cocktails delivered straight to our door (I highly recommend the strawberry sherbet cocktail, it’s delicious!). Unfortunately, our evening meal was not so good, I had a chicken burger with dirty fries, my partner had chicken wings with dirty fries, and we shared some small plates, it was all just very tasteless and bland which was very sad as we were really looking forward to eating here, so we ventured to a place called waffleopolis, 20 minutes away, for dessert instead. Breakfast was lovely in the morning, I couldn’t fault that at all!! All in all we had an absolutely lovely stay but I would just say that the evening food was not great and if we were to stay again I wouldn’t eat dinner in the restaurant.

We stayed in one of the spa cabins celebrating a birthday. The room was so clean and colourful. The best thing though was the sauna and jacuzzi. Managed to spot the white dear in the field behind the cabin.
The food was delicious delivered to our door with a QR code ordering system.
Marshmallows and biscuits supplied to make s’mores on the outside fire pit which was laid and extra wood provided.
Nothing was too much trouble we slept well and enjoyed the buffet breakfast with a full range of options

Stayed for a wedding on the Saturday. Room was lovely but couldn’t book in till after 3pm so after the wedding started and then didn’t get to bed till gone midnight so turned out to be an expensive room. Extras in the room are a nice touch, slippers, dressing gowns etc. Sunday morning the restaurant didn’t have enough room together for all the wedding party to sit together despite they were aware we were all coming.
Nice wedding location and it appears the team looked after the immediate wedding party very well. Food was lovely.

Room tip: Expensive stay.

What an amazing quirky place! Found this gem online after searching and searching for somewhere different to stay en route to the Norfolk coast. What a beauty it is!

Check in was easy asked if we wanted to reserve a table for dinner so got all that ticked off. Enjoyed some drinks in the bar watching the football. LOVED container golf very fun and so well created love the aesthetics!

The bedroom was great I booked “The Mews” quirky is definitely the word to use. Enter on the ground floor to the bathroom - may seem strange but it is a gorgeous bathroom with a shower big enough for two and a large roll top copper bath! Then you head upstairs to the bedroom which has a balcony. Loved the room very comfortable bed and the bath is not one to be missed!!

Food was lovely dinner was pie night - even did gluten free! Breakfast was great buffet but pancakes, omelettes and eggs cooked to order

Thank you again can’t wait to return!!

We stayed with other family members in a bunksuite and a courtyard room. The rooms are very spacious with comfortable beds and the best pillows I’ve ever slept on away from home. The outside of the courtyard room had a wonderful garden area. There are so few hotels that have family rooms and with the outdoor play area it makes a perfect getaway. Breakfast was excellent with so much choice with fresh eggs and pancakes to order. The staff are excellent and do everything to make sure you have a great stay.

We went to the ffolkes for a birthday lunch. It was very busy but all the staff were cheerful, efficient and very visible. One young man in particular, Owen, was extremely helpful and discreet when helping us when a family member became unwell. We didn’t feel rushed, to leave the table by a certain time. Highly recommend the ffolkes, with a bonus nice play area for the children.
