Lovely staff, great food, no complaints at all.

Suggestion, maybe change the radio channel in the breakfast room, it’s a bit drab. Put some music on in the bar, such a nice bar but very quiet without some background music. Maybe a few barstools too to break up the seating.

Overall really enjoyed my few nights away!

We don't normally bother reviewing, but this stands out as a place we will talk about for years for how awful it was.

We were disappointed from the moment we arrived. Don't be fooled by the peaceful pictures, there is a fast/busy road out the front. We chose this place because the website said it could accommodate dietary requests. We booked months ago and emailed at the time of the booking to say we were vegan. When we arrived, they had changed the menu the day before. 1 sad choice only meant that we would not be booking an evening table. We did have drinks on the patio area which smelt faintly of drains.

In the room there was a red fingernail on the floor and, on unfolding the towel, brown stains. We would not normally bother to mention this.

Next morning at breakfast we asked about soya milk/marg. The waitress said \"has been popular\" but came back empty handed. We could have vegan sausage, but otherwise the breakfast is not worth it, fo us (still no soya milk/marg on day 2).

The waitress said there was a problem with our payment card (looking puzzled that *all* the expedia cards seemed not to work - which I now think is a ruse). Went back to the room to get the physical credit card, and then stupidly left the key in the room.

Turns out, no spare. This is a duty of care for a hotel (what if customer collapsed in room, or there was a fire?). We spent 2+ hours waiting, just left abandoned to sit. Then they implied it was our fault they had no spare key. Fawlty Towers.

Beautiful hotel, rooms and breakfast freshly cooked. However, when arrived they hadn't got the booking through, which also caused an issue at breakfast time. We arrived at breakfast at peak time but they could do with more staff as it was chaotic. Had to wait 20 mins for them to take the order and no vegetarian sausages. Lovely location, and lots of car parking space.

Our room and bathroom were both clean and spacious. The bed was clean and comfortable . The bar area was a bit dark and shabby. Large stains on the carpet in garden restaurant. There was a lot of dust in the common areas. Food was a long time coming at breakfast (30-40 minutes) and it was average. The staff were all lovely and very helpful and friendly.

Evening meal a bit like faulty towers; eg, waiter knocked drink over & expected us to pay for replacement, (no, we didn’t). Large, dark stains on all carpets. Breakfast was a fiasco; had to request many essentials, eg teaspoon, tea pot, milk, tea bags, etc. The bar ran out of beer/lager every night. I could go on, but not enough space or time. Essentially I believe many faults were down to staff shortages.

Restaurant is OK, decent selection of evening meals, good bar. They need to keep the breakfast buffet stocked up - simple things like having enough coffee and milk. Staff pleasant and helpful. Decor is good and well maintained, this is not a scruffy place! However, in the room little things like floor tile grouting, bathroom door not closing properly, noise from the toilet cistern need attention. No air-con, but did have a fan in the room.

Unfortunately we had a meal that had to be taken back which was taken off our bill. We had been out early to go on the broads for the day. When we got back to the hotel to book a table for 3 and was only to be told that the tables were fully booked. Looking at the tables outside and inside that was not the case, we had to resolve to getting a Chinese takeaway delivered to the hotel, where we had to eat it outside on a tree log as the hotel refused to allow us to eat out on the patio of the hotel. There was no resolution to this, we will not be returning to this hotel again. Words of advice book your table for the duration of your stay!!

Only one towel in the room but this was quickly sorted once reported. The room was clean, with plenty of hot water, tea & coffee. The only issues we had in the room (no9) was we couldn’t turn the radiator off, so had to have the windows open and then had a lot of road nose, and someone had jammed the shower on maximum heat. Both were reported to maintenance.
We had a great evening in the restaurant, but didn’t have breakfast.

Disaster turned to pleasure by one man!

Initially on arrival there was a board stating food options were limited due to an internal problem. We were disappointed because we were there for a special birthday. We went inside to register and saw another sign saying the wi-fi was down. Being very disappointed as we were expecting an email from abroad regarding this birthday and we were undecided whether to stay or not. Nick, who we presumed to be the duty manager, was very apologetic and explained the problems in more detail. He convinced us to stay and offered us an upgraded room and bought our first round of drinks for us. The afternoon and evening went very well and the food we had was excellent. The upgraded room was large and airy and we were able to park literally outside the room (cabin). Being partially disabled this was a great bonus. Thanks to Nick's professionalism he certainly turned a possible disaster into a pleasurable experience and we thank him. We've stayed at the Wayford before but this experience surpassed that by miles.
