    House doesn’t look much from the outside but when you step over the threshold, you can see it has refurbed to a very high standard with comfortable and attractive furnishings.

    A charming and and welcoming couple who run it, a very comfortable room and an excellent continental breakfast.

    Nothing to fault.

    Great base for visiting local attractions, such as Sandringham House and Gardens and the North Norfolk coastline. Beautifully decorated and furnished premises, quality, stylish fixtures and fittings. Bright and cosy bedroom. Lovely hosts who greeted us at the property and explained the set up. The continental breakfast each morning was excellent, tea/coffee/juice, cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts, pastries, bread, cheese/salami platter. Parking available on site. Would recommend staying at The Old Bell.

    Nothing to dislike

    We stayed at the old bell for a wedding and had an amazing stay. Our room was immaculate, exceeded our expectations with tea, coffee, biscuits in the room. A mini fridge with fresh milk was also provided. The bathroom was spotless with ample fluffy towels. Breakfast was a continental style with cereals, fresh fruit, pastries and meats. Toast, teas and coffee was served too. Our hosts, Greg and Jacqui were knowledgeable of the area, kind, and took the time to chat with us. We wouldn’t hesitate in returning. Fantastic. Thank you, Sarah and Pete.

    We thought it would have a bar/bar food, but we were directed to a lovely pub down a mile down the road.

    Lovely accommodation, very comfortable bed, spacious room with ensuite. Continental breakfast. Would definately recommend if you are in the area. We went to the Sandringham Estate which was 10 mins away.

    Just one tiny detail - the motion sensor light in the short corridor off the bedroom. Also, the bath water wasn’t hot enough, but I forgot to mention this to the owners, so this comment is just for their information. I’m sure they’ll look into it.

    Beautifully appointed and a very comfortable bed

    There is nothing, genuinely at all that could be improved.

    The hosts are incredible. So warm, friendly and welcoming. We stayed in Anmer room with the bath. The room and the b&b itself is immaculate, really chic but also homely. Not a spec of dust or dirt anywhere. Quality toiletries in the room and even the room kettle is a quality dualit one. Bedding and towels are perfection. Thoughtful touches like a fridge with fresh milk in the room. Breakfast was delicious. Fresh pastries and bread/ toast, fresh fruit, a beautiful selection of cereals. My husband commented how much he enjoyed the quality of the orange juice and the coffee and he enjoyed the meat and cheese at breakfast. Opposite is a little premier shop - great as we’d forgotten our toothpaste! We enjoyed our stay that much, and was made to feel that welcome, that we have set up to be regular fortnightly guests!
