Kings Head Hotel

Easy free parking, amazing food, friendly staff, the breakfast was very good, bed was very comfortable. Will book again!

Comfortable hotel with good food and good selection of beers on tap. Relaxed atmosphere

Lovelly room, clean and comfortable. it was a nice evening so that we were inable to sit outside the pub with a drink. Good food at a decent price.

We stayed on 9th Sept 2024. The room was as advertised with a spacious king size bed, everything was clean and neat. The late afternoon started with a few cask ales, all in good condition. My wife enjoyed her G&Ts. What made it special was a combination of the interactions from the staff; engaging, helpful, courteous and at times a respectful witty banter. The 'cherry on the cake' was the food, absolutely marvellous. The homemade pate was spot on it had a smooth and creamy texture with a wonderful flavour and the steaks were cooked to perfection (rare). Of course we had to have dessert to help soak up the wine, a nice reserva Rioja, it all rounded off a very pleasant evening before we succumbed to the comfort of a lovely king size bed with cosy bed linen. We opted for a continental breakfast, which offered plenty of choice to set us up for the day ahead.

We had a fantastic stay! All staff were friendly and helpful. We had a really good breakfast and an evening meal in the restaurant which was outstanding. The room was large and very comfortable. We were overlooking the beer garden which was very nice and tidy. Lots of benches and a play area. We would love to stay here again and recommend it to family and friends.

FOOD IS REALLY GOOD AS WAS THE PRICE BIT EXPENSIVE FOR DRINKS STAFF WERE VGOOD WOULD STAY AGAIN

Friendly staff.The room was large and well furnished with a very large comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean. Being an old property, there were some cobwebs. Teh wifi was not good for us. The hotel is at a road junction with some traffic noise. Friday night was live music downstairs until 11.45 and then activity until 2.00am - ask about it in advance if you are a light sleeper.

From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome by all the staff The Hotel is beautiful with original features etc It has a bowling green at the rear & ample parking We had rooms that were across from the main hotel which suited us 4 ladies as none of us are under 60 yrs ,( oldest being 82 yrs ) so not having a flight of stairs to climb was fantastic We had our own entrance to our rooms so having another door you could lock was very reassuring ( room no.11&12 ) The beds were very comfy & the rooms were well heated & roomy The showers were extra large with lovely soft towels The welcome tea tray was well stocked & they also left biscuits which was an extra little touch They had thought of everything you could possibly need We had continental breakfast the next morning with ham, cheese’s , boiled eggs, toast, cereals, muffins, fresh fruit & yoghurt (weekday is continental £7.50 weekends all the above plus a cooked breakfast choice £10.50 ) We did not have an evening meal or use the bar as we were on the Polar express experience at 6pm Lovely Hotel we shall be returning in the future as we go to North Norfolk frequently We spent the next morning shopping in Dereham town centre which we had never visited before very charming & some lovely individual shops 10/10 from all of us

Our second stay here, clean well decorated bedroom of a good size (Room9). Quiet as on the upper floor. Good pub menu with generous portions. It was nice weather so sat outside with a drink before going in to eat.

Spent two nights at the Kings Head and enjoyed most things. Room could do with more coat pegs/hangers (in the absence of a wardrobe). Really quiet location. Ate there one evening. Liz and Ross work their socks off with the bar and restaurant, which was rather dimly lit for my taste but food very tasty. Plenty of parking.

Nice modern ambient, but the bathroom needs a deep clean. Was quite filthy I am afraid.

We had a fantastic stay. Big comfortable bed. Outstanding breakfast with really helpful staff. Only downside was a very used ashtray on the ground in the communal entryway we shared with our neighbours. Clearly hadn’t been emptied in a while. Although this is better than cigarette butts on the floor. Just not pleasant to see.

We had a one night stay at this lovely hotel. Spotlessly clean. Room was lovely (Although very very hot) friendly service. I would definitely stay here again and recommend. Thank you 😊

The Property is good. The receptionist was quite helpful and lovely. The property is clean and neat.

Lovely clean large bedroom with en-suite shower. The bed was so comfortable, just the thing after a day of walking. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The dinner, and breakfast in the morning, were both excellent. The location was perfect to reach most of the coastline within half an hour.

Friendly and clean

Stayed in the stable annexe, really clean and warm

The room I got was very clean and spacious; I asked for a room for 3 (double bed and a single bed). The bathroom was clean. I will book and stay in the same room again.

Excellent attic room with very comfortable bed. Food and service excellent.

Excellent food the service was prompt and friendly . Room was excellent size and furnishings . Will return here

Staff friendly and very efficient. Rooms in grounds not soundproof.

We stayed for 3 nights, Friday to Monday, we paid over £100 per night. I feel a little generous giving it an average. - Room: The room we stayed on the first floor was large, but the furnishing was lacking and looked dated. There was a huge area of water mark (about 50 x 50 cm) on the corner just above the bed. Not pleasant to look at, and we wonder why they can't just paint it over... There was no luggage rack so we have to put it on the floor and bend over to get things in/out of it. Cleanness was okay, but nothing made me feel it was well looked after. - Bathroom: Pretty basic. There were only 2 hooks at the back of the toilet door, nowhere to place change clothes, nor a place for face wash or own shampoo in the shower unit. - Breakfast: It is NOT a B&B so we had to pay £7.5 for a continental breakfast, or ~£10.50 for cooked (weekends only). As there was very little option around, paying for breakfast was a choice out of no choice... To be fair, the food wasn't bad. - Meals: Same as above, because there was little option around, we ended up having 2 dinners there. Again, food was okay (we had burgers and Sunday roasts). - Noise: They had a beer garden just under our window. There was no limit to the hours and 2 parties were still chatting after 11pm on one night. Overall, we felt the place had better facilities in the pub downstairs than the rooms. It is probably better positioned as a pub with rooms, not a 3-star hotel. A word to the owner? Some TLC pls.

Absolutely beautiful property that resides in the quiet and tranquil area of North Elmham. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the front of house staff member who was very pleasant, polite and helpful. We went up to our room, which upon opening the door, we were amazed at just how big the room was. Super king-sized bed and all the furniture made from solid wood. The bathroom was exceptionally spacious also. The bed was comfy, there were plenty of facilities (ironing board, iron, soap, body wash, tea & coffee, kettle, mirrors, hair dryer, fan etc), really quiet location, pleasant staff, clean, great food, all at a fantastic price. A well deserved 5 stars all round from me.

Amazing room and the most comfortable bed!!!

Our second stay here, clean well decorated bedroom of a good size (Room9). Quiet as on the upper floor. Good pub menu with generous portions. It was nice weather so sat outside with a drink before going in to eat.

We stayed for one night, check in was ok and we were given an appointment time of 08:45 for breakfast, the room was large, clean and comfortable with all you need, on the landing irons and boards were available. The decor in the bar was very dark and dimly lit, the service was good, the food was fabulous, we had a very comfortable sleep, waking to lovely hot shower, arriving at breakfast we were told we were late and should have been there at 08:15, this happened to other guests too, the breakfast was very good, the decor in the dining room was also very dark. I would return again, the food is fantastic and value for money.

Excelent stay, I arrived after 9pm staff made me a wonderful sandwich as they had stopped serving food.

Great manager great food great beer would definitely return

Comfortable bed, could probablly do with more staff

Great members of staff, clean and comfortable rooms, very good food.

Lovely hotel. Nice room and helpful staff. Great dog-friendly restaurant with good food. Really great location for exploring Norfolk by car

Nice to feel welcomed

Lovely room. Staff friendly and efficient.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room, large, comfortable and warm. Loads of hot water. We stayed 3 nights mid week eating in on 2. The bar was friendly with the locals easy to talk with, whilst the barman kept us all amused with his ‘young person’s’ views on life and good humouredly took all the ribbing directed his way. Continental breakfast only, except weekends when it’s cooked, but there’s a fabulous old post office a 5 minute walk away with cheerful staff and a good choice of breakfast dishes. Thankyou.

We enjoyed the restaurant and the accommodation. The breakfast was also very good. This was a perfect hotel for our festival event at Sandringham at a reasonable price.

Brilliant good location hotel staff friendly - don’t do poached eggs in week

Lovely stay! Really nice room, quiet and 30mins drive from all the local sites! Food is absolutely delicious too! Highly reccomended!

Good value for money, with great food and lovely rooms! 25 minutes from the coast.

Location wise this will not be for everyone as it is a little secluded, but for those whom are looking for a base to use that isn't Town / City centre it is ideal, beautiful setting with friendly and welcoming staff; this was my second stay in as many months and although not my usual choice of hotel (usually boutique / luxury hotels) I found myself submerged in the "quiet charm" of the hotel and staff; I would also add that the beds (mattress topper / linen) is worth of any 5* hotel that I have stayed in; so comfortable with a wonderfully sized bed. Yes, there are a few elements that could do with updating but this is reflected in the price and my usually very picky self found this all part of the charm / stay.

Overnight stay in this hotel while attending the Thurston Christmas Spectacular. Hotel is 20 minutes away and ideal for our purpose. Very clean, comfortable and a good breakfast.

FOOD IS REALLY GOOD AS WAS THE PRICE BIT EXPENSIVE FOR DRINKS STAFF WERE VGOOD WOULD STAY AGAIN

It was a lovely comfortable room with a very helpful host, however the breakfast was very disappointing as it was only Continental, and there was a lot of work being done in and outside the hotel when we arrived and dust was in the air inside reception. This stay was missing a cooked breakfast!!

Stayed here a few times over the past few years but this time had a different feel to it the room 14 when I walked in had a very musty smell that was coming from the bathroom and had To have the bathroom light on to run the extractor fan to help clear the smell also soundproofing between us and the next room wasn’t the best. Lots of locals in the bar and I felt like a bit of an intruder. The Continental breakfast they offered for £7.50 didn’t seem worth it. No hot Breakfast during the week

Ideal for one night. Room was rather basic and dated, but comfortable. 45 minutes wait for breakfast but it was lovely. I'd stay here again
