A really great place to stay! While it is in a roundabout the rooms are extremely well insulated for noise. A very comprehensive continental breakfast was supplied as well and the manager of the facility was super helpful!
We stayed the weekend with 6 people over 2 rooms (3 in each). It was so nice, clean, and comfortable. The shower was nice and strong, and plenty of bits for breakfast - including local bread from Kett's Hill bakery next door. It was also very quiet, considering the pub next door and the adjacency to the city. The pub is also lovely, friendly clientele and Tom behind the bar (he also showed us the room) was so sweet and kind. The pub and hotel are perfectly located, with a short walk into town, the train station, and the football stadium. The parking was also conveniently located, and the lodging area was secure. The price was great for the weekend, we would definitely stay again!
Super accommodation option. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable, with lots of little handy extras for breakfast. Thank you!
I enjoyed my stay here, room was clean and bed was comfortable, continental breakfast supplied in the room, bread, jam, orange juice and cereals. I feel the Internet photos don't do this place justice, it's better in real life, parking was a bonus. The pub itself is like a Tardus inside and the garden is a hugh Oasis, it took my breath away, would be great for parties and functions. Also, the drinks in here were cheaper then any other pub we visited in Norwich. A few minutes down the road is a sweet shop and fish and chip shop, further along is another pub on the river and the train station is walking distance. Walking into the town centre took us 15 minutes, but it was an interesting and lovely walk. Thanks for recommending the perfume to me and Beatle juice you looked amazing
View is off a roundabout from the window,room looks better on the inside then how it looks on the outside. man who checked us in was helpful but was still minor cleaning issues in the room that wasn't clean such as cobwebs and dead spiders and stained at base of fridge and bathroom had some limescale, minor update to decor needed in room as walls need a paint and shelving needs new wood and new tile on floor as had a crack in one and bar stalls need updating as rusty on metal. you had a hairdryer and ironing board and iron and a good continental breakfast for the morning plus a coffee machine which was ideal aswell as a kettle for the normal coffee sachets. On last night staying there building work was being done in a room with hammering and drilling, not good for a paying guest and wasn't even notified of any work being done,phoned up to complain and got told they didn't realise the builder was still working on the room, and asked him to stop, he stopped drilling but was still banging, but when said we wasn't satisfied to pay the full price, no discount was offered. Step was high for bathroom not good if have access needs or elderly. Television was okay to watch but something was wrong with the screen as a line was going down the side of it.
Place is ok. Bartenders are friendly and talkative. Only thing is that if you’re not from Norwich or you don’t go very often to the castle, then you’re most likely to get ignored by the people that go there because they’re mostly locals and don’t allow new people that easily in their circle. That’s the vibe I felt when I went there a few times. Even my friend I brought yesterday felt ignored despite both of us trying to engage in conversations with the people there. You’re better off going to a bigger city with more people that are likely to be less reserved and more open to new friends. Norwich isn’t the right place for that . Anyway, feel free to come to the castle . You might have a different experience. The place isn’t bad
Nice venue for private hire at the back with good bar and facilities
Very cool gay pub, sadly very quiet. Good priced beer and fantastic staff. If you don't use it you will lose. Support this amazing community pub. Always go here when we are in Norwich.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay in the hotel/lodging linked to the pub. Location was great; only a 20 min walk to the main city centre. The walking route takes you past the canal and cathedral, which was a bonus. Room was spacious and had a nice kitchen area. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Room was quiet. We had to take care of a few spiders in the room and the TV was sub par. The bed mattress was definitely at the end of its life cycle. Would stay here again.
