The Bridge Guest House - Norwich

Such an amazing place to stay, beautifully located, river and opportunity to hire a canoe. Owners are so incredible people, our first time here and we've been welcomed so friendly like it was another time we're getting back. Accommodation as itself very cosy and family friendly 😊 Highly recommended, with no doubt we'll come back here any time we'll visit the area next time 🙂

Booked this in January 2023 to go to a festival. Room was dated and plenty of cobwebs. No milk or even the little UHT for a cuppa. Shower temperature was so hot you couldn’t stand under it. No shower gel or shampoo in the room not even small bottles. When I booked I asked for 2 single beds but there was the smallest double bed I’ve ever seen. No breakfast which I did not know until we walked downstairs and heard and saw nobody so left straight away. False advertising if it says B&B but no breakfast? Too much money for just a room and will not be booking again.

We decided last minute to have a weekend break in Norfolk and we were so pleased that we chose Bridge House. Our very spacious double room with en-suite was well presented, coffee/tea was plentiful and the fridge was a real bonus. Tony was most pleasant, on hand to offer assistance and local advice. The set up is a little quirky and this is not a criticism, Tony really is putting his heart and soul into this place, if he is not looking after guests he is cutting hair in the proper barbers chair or he is out working at the boat shed by the river. Well done Tony see you again soon.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Welcoming and easy going. Rooms are quite basic, though. Especially the bathroom could have used some more TLC. Overall, it was OK for one night we stayed. Wouldn't return for a longer stay, though.

Very clean and tidy, friendly greeting. Towels supplied, nice warm shower. No complaints. Fantastic for the price.

Cheers

Is it a car dealer, is it a barbers, is it a B&B?

When we arrived, Tony brought us to the room (outhouse on the garden, not in the building itself), all good so far (only looked in the main room).
We had a few issues in the room which we asked him to deal with over the phone later, when we walked out (no one at reception). We had to bring the key back for that unfortunately, because there was only one (what happens in a case of emergency?) No one at reception again, I left it behind the desk.

When it comes to the room itself, it is really worn out, the photo's on the website are misleading, stained carpet.
Bathroom (utility room?) far from appropriate. Rags for towels, floorboard comes up and falls apart (wet hygiene hazard!), we put some towels over it because no way you want to land on that bare feet. Unfinished/ chipped work tops.
The shower head was rank (algae?) and held together by tape, on the lowest level (unable to push up).

Although the bed was comfy and looked clean, it does make you feel uncomfortable seeing other things so dirty and old, especially for the price they ask.

Let the pictures speak for themselves.

Avoid.

I booked for one night , the double bedded room , i thought was lovely and clean very pleased , comfy bed . Its a real shame staying over, was the room was really cold when i turned up later in the evening, the heating did not come on until early morning could not sleep with no heat , also went to use the shower and it was only one temperature boiling red hot , could not adjust the temp so could not have a shower . also no breakfast . Its a shame otherwise its a lovely place to stay . Disappointing to not have a breakfast when on the photos you can see breakfast . The owner was very friendly , its such a shame with the comments i put above otherwise would of been great

I had to stay here due to all the others in the area being fully booked for a recent family get together . OMG I don’t know where to start !!!!! ||Firstly the cost …….. at £137 a night per room it’s £47 a night more then the nearest pub ( which is fabulous ) and £67 to the next and mind blowingly £2 more then the starting prices of the 4star Manor House hotel (and spa… set in beautiful grounds ) half a mile away ….. which is beyond superb ……. Hmmm 🤔 sorry Tony no comparison. !!!! ||The position is very good and you can park in the courtyard … on entering you are confronted with a barbers shop on the left and on the right millions of (2016 seriously 😳 sort that one out ) leaflets of local activities . The general impression is of unpleasant cluttered grubbiness , when we went it had no resemblance to the pictures shown on the internet !! The rooms have had lockdown love and have been ‘dollied’up ….. and then you come to the no breakfast !!!!!! That’s ok as long as it’s reflected in the price , sadly at the Bridge House hotel it’s not ….. I most definitely will not be returning
