Room was lovely. Had everything you could need in and the staff were so helpful. Even before we came to stay they were helping me with taxis and any information I needed as we were staying there while going to a concert at Sandringham. My wife and I will definitely becoming back.

Absolutely fabulous. The property is finished to a very high standard and has lovely little personalised touches. The owners are very friendly and professional and not at all intrusive. Breakfast was superb too. Overall, we had a lovely experience and am certain we will return.

Immaculate family-run hotel
This hotel is immaculate, the room, the bathroom and everywhere else. It is really spotless: from the beddings to the towels. The window shutters and carpet are of exceptional quality! Lots of choices of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room! The small fridge and a hairdryer look brand new as well. Brilliant! If you look for a cosy hotel in Norfolk, "The Old Bell" is a sure destination.

We were welcomed warmly by Greg who explained what we needed to know and showed to our room. The room is as nice as any room I have stayed in and I’ve stayed at the Mandarin Oriental!! The bedding was Luxurious and the bed wonderfully comfy. With tea and coffee making facilities in the room with fresh milk, I hope I have a reason to return. Absolutely 5 Stars

Great stay
Wonderful hotel, hosts are very accommodating. Room very comfortable but would benefit from blackouts as the shutters did not shut out the sunlight at dawn. Continental breakfast was good - plenty of choice and fresh produce.

We loved staying at The Old Bell and will definitely be booking again for next year. The gorgeous room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Our hosts were amazing, super friendly and ready with recommendations for dining and must see spots. We arrived with barely any plans for the weekend and we ended up having an amazing time thanks to Greg and Jackie’s recommendations. 10/10.

Fabulous!!!!!
Fabulous place & owners Gregg & Jackie ….they have made a lovely job of this B&B…… 5*
The thing that appealed to me most was having fresh milk provided in a small fridge for our morning tea….👌
It’s the little things ……
The only thing they didn’t supply was some sunshine….

Fantasic spot
Lovely hosts who were very accomodating and kind. Delicious breakfast offered and even an extra special gift as a birthday surprise. Room was spotless and certainly the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen. Clearly alot of care and pride for their business.
