Busy restaurant, so get there early. Food was above average and there was a separate gluten free menu (which was great). Food came quickly and our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. Most delicious posset and raspberry ice-cream for dessert. More

Rooms are decorated lovely and have great little touches... home made shortbread with a super selection of tea and coffee. Staff in B+B part very helpful and polite... as were the breakfast and evening staff. Tiny moan...we could hear aircon in our room @ night due to the location of room, but to be fair it did switch off at... More

This was our third stay at the B & B and it was just as wonderful again. We stayed in on of the upstairs rooms this time. The beds and the bathroom were amazing. I love the attention to detail which you can find all over the rooms and the house itself. Breakfast was brilliant and had everything you could... More

This place epitomises the definition of Pretentious. It has the signage and reputation of a 'posh, middle-class' institution, however the only classy thing about the place is the price. They hire chavvy teenagers who adopt a surly tone once you question why your order is taking so long. The cakes are fairly ok, but nothing extraordinary (certainly not worth the... More

I loved the bed which seemed to swallow you up! The bathroom and in particular the drench shower lived up to it's name. The breakfasts were very indulgent and I really enjoyed the Norfolk Kippers. I found the service to be helpful and efficient and I would gladly stay there again next time I'm in the area. More

Arrived soon after booking in time at three o'clock to find no parking available and we were forced to park away from the building. The same happened on our second nights stay. What a performance was needed to get parking in the car park there. The number of cars parking there appears to exceed the number of rooms available. What... More

We have read and re-read these posted comments. They are really upsetting. It is our policy to ask all guests 'how was your stay', all our diners 'how was your meal' and to have comment cards throughout the building. We sincerely wish all our guests have a great time. Be assured that all of our fire evacuation information is accurate.... More

We were in room 11, which was lovely, with a great bathroom, loved the wet room shower! Niggled by no drawers and only one shelf available in the wardrobe, plenty of coat hangers though. Good breakfast with excellent choice. Service very friendly but occasionally misses the mark, through forgetting orders and not checking table is completely set. Parking is tight... More

Recommended by friends we booked an overnight stay for my wifes birthday and it did not disappoint. Quality of the room was excellent with many little finishing touches that made it feel special. Staff were friendly and helpful with nothing seeming to be a trouble. Dinner and breakfast which were included in the cost of the stay were very enjoyable... More

Short of adding a spa and championship golf course, it's difficult to see what more Byfords could do to improve this delightful hotel. The phrase "posh b and b" hardly does justice to the quality of the rooms and service. Others have commented on the attention to detail; we admired the fresh lilies in the bathroom, the tea lights around... More
