“The hotel grounds, encompassing 21 acres, offer a genuine escape with direct access to the broads. Dining in the 18th-century thatched barn presents a memorable experience, although I noted some inconsistencies in the menu. It's a place that seems particularly well-suited to weddings and larger events, with dedicated spaces and catering options.”
