The Parson Woodforde

We were greeted on arrival by a very friendly chap, we later found out was named Owen. He's a very lively chap and goes out of his way to make you feel important, which made us feel comfortable. The room was quite small, but spotlessly clean, the bed was one of the most comfortable we've had in a B&B and we had a restful sleep. The area is beautiful and on the edge of a lovely hamlet with far reaching views, only a 20 minute drive into Norwich for the shopping. We ate here on our first night and were delighted with the quality of the food. I had fish and chips, both were piping hot and using really quality ingredients. Jill had Lamb shank, which unfortunately, she couldn't finish as it was too much for her. We couldn't eat a second course, even though I was tempted by it. Breakfast was the same high quality standard and I did think at the time, how lucky this pub was to have such a talented chef. I met with the landlady later that day and found out that the chef was her husband who had worked abroad and that they had been running the pub only since June 2024 and that she only had limited experience of working in the sharp end of the trade. I was amazed really, as the atmosphere within the pub is relaxing and welcoming and all the staff are warm and friendly. A special place with people who have a gift in customer satisfaction. We stayed a second night, and we both again slept well and will definitely be booking a stay again. Thank you for a very special weekend, it meant a lot to us and we look forward to visiting again soon.

The location was perfect for my needs. I arrived just before the restaurant was closing after a 5hr drive. The staff welcomed me and told me not to worry about rushing as they'd happily serve me. I ended up having venison which was stunning! Lovely rural setting, close to where I needed to be in the morning. Each member of staff that I interacted with was superb. Couldn't fault any element of my stay.

This property I would describe as a upmarket contractors hotel. Staff were excellent, professional, friendly, very competent and well trained. Rooms were clean and comfortable, shower was good which is important to contractors. Also ample parking plenty of room for large Van's although access roads narrow. Convenient for Norwich. Evening meal good, had liver and bacon not as good as my mums but what is. Breakfast was good. Overall good value.

Booked for my dad for his birthday and he had a fabulous time and even stayed another night. They said the staff were fantastic and the food was brilliant especially the Sticky Toffee Pudding which he had twice. Everyone was so friendly.

Had a good feeling from the moment you walked through the door - staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was very well-dressed. Bathroom was a bit tight and the extractor fan needs fixing. Bathroom fixtures were good though. It was hot and there was a fan in the cupboard which was really helpful. Monday was Curry night, which was good - food was excellent. Best B&B breakfast in a long time - meat was excellent quality - owner excellent host. Will be stopping again, just make sure you have a look on Google Maps where it is - just past the church - plenty of parking round the back
