The Durley Dean Hotel
The pool area is tiny, sauna and steam room not working. Single room the smallest I’ve ever stayed in and the worst nights sleep. Overall I would not recommend, definitely NOT a 4 star!

The Norfolk Royale Hotel
Lovely hotel, bit dated in areas but that wasn't a problem to us. No complaints about our room. All the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed our evening meals at the hotel, breakfast could be improved slightly. Great location also an added bonus was the car park underneath the hotel.
