The Brick Kilns

The English breakfasts were exceptional, however the healthier alternatives were inadequate. No fruit nor yoghurt, muesli or granola, so not really good value.

Nothing.....everything else was good.

Upon arrival we were met with a warm welcome, there were 2 lovely ladies who explained how everything worked. We found the staff delightful throughout and met the owner a couple of times who was also very amiable. The breakfast was amazing! We got what we ordered and the lady who greeted us (Theresa I think) was wonderful and couldn't do enough to make us comfortable. A very homely place to stay and ideally located for exploring Norfolk.

Although the room could have done with a couple of repairs, it was very comfortable and great to come back to after a day out walking. The bath was an added bonus. You had an excellent selection of teas/coffees to choose from too. The shower could have done with a new head and it dripped onto the end of the bath, so unfortunately I couldn't lay back to relax without getting dripped on. Couldn't hear the drip whilst sleeping though. We ate in the restaurant on the last evening. It was a Wednesday so we took advantage of the £12 main meal offer. I had the fish and chips, it was excellent but they forgot the peas. After a while they still hadn't arrived (or the requested vinegar) so made do without. My partner had the rump steak. Sadly it was returned as too sinewy to cut through. They replaced the meal though for the belly pork without question. The wine was superb quality. We did have a drink before the meal and paid cash on ordering. Then when paying for the meal itself it had then been added onto the bill again. A refund was given without question, but this shouldn't have happened.

Beautifully home cooked food, generous portions, lovely location peaceful with a horse and donkeys in field, ample free parking, staff mostly very friendly and helpful.

Booking.com did not make it clear that the small twin room was not en-suite. Double rooms are en-suite but twin room has a bathroom where you have to go out of bedroom door, onto the landing and down a step to what is then your exclusive bathroom. When you go in and out of bedroom and bathroom door is on a catch which could be a problem with toilet at night so we decided to keep catch up to push door straight open. If booking.com website was more accurate about twin room it would have helped. All 3 rooms have steep stairs which could be difficult for elderly and disabled. An iron is not provided for safety reasons in room but you can use one on request,even after we asked about the iron first and second day nothing was told us so on 3rd day when another person was there she let my wife into the downstairs laundry room to use the iron,when we went to toilet in the night my wife said she felt unsteady being half asleep and the stairs is right where the bathroom is and had to be careful near the stairs that go down.

Very good but unorganised
