We enoyed the doubly “smart” room — both the clean, modern decor and the motion-activated automatic lights for the main stairs (though they take time to come on) and the bathroom (shut the bathroom door when not in use so you don’t trigger those lights when you walk around in your room). Also appreciated the towel warming rack, and the frosted bathroom windows. The room was very comfortable and quiet, as Grimston is a tiny village in a rural area. The inn’s on Grimston’s main road is convenient to nearby Happy Valley (wedding / event venue) and to sightseeing in Sandringham and beyond. The hosts were gracious and friendly. We will be happy to return when we are next in the area. PS. I would try to arrive at Grimston during daylight hours, if you are not used to driving in rural England with old, narrow roads.

This hotel is immaculate, the room, the bathroom and everywhere else. It is really spotless: from the beddings to the towels. The window shutters and carpet are of exceptional quality! Lots of choices of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room! The small fridge and a hairdryer look brand new as well. Brilliant! If you look for a cosy hotel in Norfolk, "The Old Bell" is a sure destination.

owner was there to greet us, very welcoming and friendly, took us to room. Room was quite small for a double deluxe but was comfortable and clean. smelt clean. bathroom was clean, but no loo brush. shower was on the small side but had toiletries there and nice smelling fluffy white towels. towel rail was vertical, so nowhere to hang towels. mini fridge in room was a nice touch, fresh milk provided. no full length mirror, just one above chest of drawers. nice selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. clean cups, sparkling glasses and teaspoons, nice touch!

The bedding was Luxurious and the bed wonderfully comfy. With tea and coffee making facilities in the room with fresh milk, I hope I have a reason to return. Absolutely 5 Stars

Lovely welcome & accommodating service from the owners. Room light & spacious. Great location, apart from woken at 7am one morning by delivery to shop opposite. Would recommend Mems in Kings Lynn for good value evening meal. Snettisham Beach great for Knot murmurations when the tide is mid-way in or out. (Be aware there are no toilets there, however.) Overall a great break😊

The property was strategically located for our activities, including Sandringham, Houghton Hall and Gardens, and the Hunstanton through to Wells Next to the Sea area. It was convenient to our ancestral homes in Swaffham and Deopham. Went to the Samphire just over 1/2 mile down the road for a nice dinner. Picked up a few items at the shop across the street. Met some friendly couples at breakfast.

Beautifully kept, comfortable and spotless accommodation with convenient access to King’s Lynn and the surrounding area. Communication was excellent throughout, the breakfast was outstanding, and I would highly recommend The Old Bell to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely welcome & accommodating service from the owners. Room light & spacious. Great location, apart from woken at 7am one morning by delivery to shop opposite. Would recommend Mems in Kings Lynn for good value evening meal. Snettisham Beach great for Knot murmurations when the tide is mid-way in or out. (Be aware there are no toilets there, however.) Overall a great break😊

Lovely B&B and great location for visiting Sandringham and beyond. Great hosts and great continental breakfast. Will definitely stay again when in the area rather than Kings Lynn.

Cannot fault it. Our two night stay was very comfortable in every way. We were made to feel welcome and Greg even helped us to the room with our bags. Jackie was there at breakfast to serve drinks and toast and there was a good selection of help yourself continental breakfast items. Well placed to visit areas around it and Sandringham is only ten minutes away. We will definitely be back.

By far the best B&B I’ve ever stayed in, they’ve thought of everything! Spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated with White Company bedding, bedding smelled fresh unlike some where pillows smell fusty. Coffee bags, fresh milk (not UHT), cute little Dualit kettle, Noble Isle bathroom products, soft thick fluffy towels. I could go on - hats off to the owners you have nailed it. If I’m in the area again I would definitely return. Highly recommend 😊
