The Castle

Very clean,nice clean shower, bed wasn't as comfortable as we would of liked. Air conditioning was a bonus. Close to where we needed to be, 15 minutes walk do riverside and 15 minutes walk to Epic studio. Ideal. Shame the pub doesn't open n a Monday.

We stayed in Room no 1 which was facing a very busy roundabout, once inside we didn't notice the traffic noise. Clean comfortable room with much appreciated air conditioning, TV, small kitchen area and addiquate bathroom, staff very friendly in the bar, would definitely go back as enjoyed our stay.

Wouldn’t stay here again…. Bed had not been changed from last occupant, very dusty headboard and the wall behind the bed was dusty and cobwebs occupied the corners. However nice breakfast selection. Unfortunately that is all I have to say.

My wife and I stayed five nights in one of the chalet rooms at 'The Castle' public house. There are 3 such self- contained rooms adjacent to the main pub building. There was a Microwave and refrigerator in the unit, and provisions were included for a continental style breakfast on a 'do it yourself basis. We didn't actually visit the pub during our stay, but the chalet was splendid.

On arrival there is limited information on where to park and where to check-in. Following my experience, I had to provide assistance to another traveller that was also at a loss. The room itself is functional. The bathroom has motion sensor lighting, so the door was closed. Subsequently, due to the lack of ventilation, the bathroom was smelly and there were areas that could do with some mould and mildew spray to sort both its appearance and the smell. The room I had was facing the road, the roundabout actually. The road noise is very apparent and constant till late at night and early in the morning. Subsequently, opening a window for some airflow was a no no. The AC worked fine, although a user guide was no supplied, so this was trail and error. However, the AC did provide some white noise that drowned out the road noise - a bit. Breakfast was include. However, what they do not mention is that you are provided with a pint of milk, cereal, bread etc. and you have to make this yourself. I have no issue making breakfast, that what I do every day, but advertising this fact would help manage expectations, especially as you could not eat in the pub. When I checked in, I was informed that I would get a receipt emailed to me. This did not arrive and took 2 emails to be sent before a receipt was finally received. Would I stay there again - the answer is no. For the price there is better accommodation available, and maybe breakfast is provided?

Very easy check in. Facilities very good lovely choice for breakfast! Room clean and comfortable I know how difficult it is to keep showers and shower seals clean this was the only downside to the bathroom Excellent otherwise

We very much enjoyed our stay in a comfortable self-contained unit. To get into the town centre was a pleasant 15-min walk along the river. There was good parking, and driving into town would also be possible if you didn't want to walk. We were provided with a toaster and coffee machine, along with bread, milk, cereal and spreads for breakfast. Everything seemed very clean and reasonably well-maintained. The room wasn't serviced during our stay, which was fine with us as we're ok with making our own bed and re-using our towels. We never heard any noise from the adjoining pub/bar, although we were there during the week so don't know whether that would be the same at weekends. On the whole a great place to stay, and would happily recommend it to friends.

Good stay. Nice clean room. Could be better if can be a chair with a back rest in a room, as I have a back problem and very difficult for me sitting on a tall chair working on my laptop.

Good access to Norwich Big room with kitchenette
