Reviews

Ben 10/10

Pros: Excellent value, fantastic breakfast, friendly staff

Kim 8/10

Most enjoyable and very good value for money, we plan to return on our next visit to Norwich

Pros: The BITH is located in a quiet village around 8 miles outside Norwich with an easy link to the ringroad. Our room ~#3 (all the rooms are outside in a courtyard) was spacious, well equipped & nice and warm when we stepped inside. Our evening meal was excellent with an option to suit every taste, well priced and a good selection of wines by both the bottle and glass. Breakfast was good and cooked to order.

Cons: A nespresso coffee machine or similar in the room as I do not drink instant coffee at all nor tea in the morning, although I did notice the tea bags were Tetley so if you do drink tea you will enjoy a decent cup. The pillows on the bed are far too soft for my tatste so I used a couple of cushions from the armchair to firm them up

Highly recommended

Pros: Had a wonderful stay for two nights. Excellent room, with good facilities, iron, hairdryer, kettle and tea coffee hot chocolate. The bed is very comfortable. Staff amazingly friendly. The food, we had evening meal and 2 breakfasts all exceptional. We had a problem with our tyre pressure being low asked for the nearest garage and a member of staff, a nice young man, got his pressure pump out of his car and sorted them for us, he was really kind and helpful and took the worry out of our stay. Would highly recommend.
