Quiet friendly hotel.
Nice room, quiet and comfortable, though a little small if sharing.
Good breakfast from welcoming and friendly staff.

We've stayed here before as it's handy for the Red Rooster Festival at Euston Hall. The staff are very helpful and the rooms comfortable and spotless. The breakfast priovided is excellent; very good quality ingredients.
Also nice that the hotel is not far from major road network but not on a busy road.
Would recommend it and would stay again.

Would definitely stay again
Stayed 1 night while attending a family wedding at Hockwold Hall. We had rooms 11 & 12 made into a family room for the 4 of us. It was absolutely perfect with a separate bedroom and additional, separate toilet. Bathroom had a skylight so you could look at the stars while relaxing in the spacious bath. The venue even arranged transport for us (additional cost) to get us too and from Hockwold Hall. Breakfast was delicious.
