Top The Playbarn Hotel Reviews

The Maids Head Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking on site was good and one of the reasons we booked this hotel. The noise from the outside road though facing the street was more than expected due to late night revellers. The food at the restaurant was okay, although I thought was expensive for what it was I only got 2 small pieces of lamb for £29. The quality and taste was okay though, but there are other places to go and eat which are nicer and better value. Location of the hotel was very good though in terms of being able to walk around the city."

Wellington Apartments

8/10 Good

"Shower needs running for a while to get hot water through, which is a terrible waste of water."

Holiday Inn Norwich City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable 3 night stay. Well equipped and comfortable room overlooking Norwich city football ground. Plenty of parking both outside the hotel and a few yards away for the football ground. Excellent breakfast choice. Couldn't fault it. 15 min walk into city or catch the number 25 bus nearby. Thank you."

Sugarbeat Eating House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely friendly staff, always remembering that I stayed before. We get the room we have requested. We order a vegetarian roast which is outstanding, food delicious and hot. Plenty of parking. Depending where the room is you can hear the traffic going past in the evening & mornings but overall alovely stay. That's why we keep going back and also you have a choice of breakfast part of the deal."

3 bedroom accommodation in Stoke Holy Cross

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully decorated and cozy cottage with well equipped kitchen and amenities. Hosts were very helpful and friendly with advice on where to visit. Couldn't recommend enough for proximity to Norwich and nearby Broads. Handy park and ride 7 min drive away for the city."
