What guests think

Across reviews, travellers praise The Plough Inn for friendly staff, clean and stylish rooms with comfortable beds, and smooth stays overall, though a few mention occasional noise, housekeeping misses, or minor bathroom issues like water pressure or temperature fluctuations.

The location works well for Norwich and exploring North Norfolk, though some road-facing rooms report traffic noise with windows open. Most reviews highlight excellent dinners and generous, well-cooked breakfasts in a busy restaurant where booking helps; a few found breakfast bland, menus shorter or prices high, and note occasional midweek closures. A solid choice for a relaxed country-inn break.

The outside exterior could do with a fresh coat of paint it gives a very false view of the inside of the pub and rooms which were very modern and lovely. Food was excellent and service very good at breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay.

How you was welcomed into the building, very good. Table service, very good. A little disappointed about menu being short, not a lot of choice. Parking good. The Plough Inn very popular with locals. I would recommend to people who want to dine and stay the night or use as a base if toring.

Excellent comfy room with a few minor drawbacks, it was over the main restaurant area so was noisy early on, the water pressure on both hot and cold was poor but the shower was excellent and no toilet roll holder. The staff in general were very good and Jenny was excellent. The food in the restaurant was pricey but if superb quality, especially the home made pie.The draught beer was excellent and the wines very drinkable. The room cleaner left a bit to be desired, not a thorough job by any means., only straightened the bed linen and left the towels.

This is a great place to stay! Plenty of parking, great food, comfortable room with really excellent en-suite facilities. The service was generally good, though on a couple of occasions things seemed a bit hit-and-miss in the restaurant. However, when delays did happen we always received an explanation and apology. Flowerbeds outside need attention and rather let the place down appearance-wise, we thought. The stairs are a bit steep for oldies, though in fact we did manage OK. Sometimes a bit noisy in our room, but not when it actually mattered - we always slept well on comfy and well made-up beds.

The Plough is a good class pub with clean, modern rooms. What makes them special is that it's such a friendly place to stay and the pub food is excellent. We were there for five days and I could have done with a few more to work my way through the menu. We'll also certainly miss their breakfasts. It is situated well for visiting Norwich and the Norfolk Coast. It's true that you can hear the busy road with the window open, but hey, life's a compromise and we'll happily take that.

Check if kitchen open the evening you stay . We found out few hours before check in that kitchen closed so we had to drive to Aylsham to eat . We had wanted to eat at plough as both could then drink as no driving needed . The manager did give us some money towards our meal which was an appreciated gesture However further disappointment when we returned from our meal the pub was closed - about 8pm . We had planned a drink in the bar when back and had not been advised this was going to be closed Understand off season and mid week if not busy not worth being open but do tell the customers you do have so they are not disappointed
