Second time stay at this lovely hotel which is adjacent to Norwich Cathedral. Great breakfast, pricey evening meals mitigated by two restaurants less than 3 minutes walk away. Lots of stairs to contend with, visitors should be warned.

This is a special place in the world, they say the oldest hotel in the UK. The staff are great and the food is, too. We stayed in the modern wing and it was dated, but a good-sized room with a great view of the Cathedral. Staff were amazing and brought us additional chest of drawers and duvets promptly upon request. Light sleepers should bring ear plugs. You cannot beat the location, as you have a view of the Cathedral gates right from reception.
