A very characterful building right in the heart of the town. Good sized carpark at the back.
The room was very comfortable, lovely bed, with everything we needed.
Robin was very welcoming and all the staff were friendly and helpful.
The cooked breakfast was excellent on both mornings, also a good variety of other options and plenty of drinks available. No evening meal available but A Taste of Raj, a short walk away, was excellent.
We stayed during a live concert at the brewery next door and enjoyed the music through the open window, but it stopped promptly at 11, so didn't cause any disturbance.
We liked the town and will definitely return.

To be fair we didn't spend much time in Harleston. We just used it as a base to visit relatives who live nearby and to explore the broader area. It therefore met our needs perfectly and was good value.

Excellent town with lots of character.
Excellent town with lots of character. Fine old Georgian and older buildings. Lots of different shops and bakeries. Some twee shops and some for essentials. Nice walks around. Bit of a market on Wednesday. Couple of really nice pubs with decent beer that we found - JD Youngs and the Cap. Can quite easily get to other picturesque towns nearby.

Hadn't been to this small town before but having had a quick walk around in the morning before we left, it would have been nice to see the shops open. Lots of bespoke places, nice tea rooms/cafes and so on.

I really liked Harleston , I am looking to relocate and I think I would be quite happy in this town. It has such character, lovely old buildings, great small shops, cafes etc. I had a curry in the restaurant there and it was fabulous. Friendly people and very dog friendly . Not too far from the beautiful coast , and surrounded by wonderful countryside. What’s not to like??? Also- plenty of free parking !
Our room was of a very generous size with comfortable beds. Breakfast was good, especially for our son (the sausages and beans going down a treat). The hotel itself was delightfully full of character reflecting its 16th century origin (we loved the quirkiness of the main staircase). We found the staff to be helpful and polite. My bed was very comfortable and gave no problems (backache often being an issue when sleeping in hotel beds)
Absolutely amazing little gem fantastic renovated barn to a very high standard The room and facilities where just what we paid for and the breakfast was everything we needed.
Within driving distance from bungay and Harleston and highly recommended the fleece inn at bungay for a meal out.
Lovely and helpful couple to make our weekend so enjoyable
There was a reasonable choice for breakfast with good quality meats and fish and vegetarian options. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff could not have been more helpful. As a former coaching inn the hotel was quirky with undulating floors and was situated on the main street of the town. Despite this there was very little noise.
As I have stayed at this hotel 3times before I think the building can do with a upgrade but as it is a 16th
century building it would be a massive and expensive job to get it to standard. But having said that the food was fantastic and I will be visiting again.
Great base for us for a holiday to Norfolk. We were visiting relatives in the area but the house was also also within an hour of the Norfolk Broads and the coast. The house was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable. Would definitely use again.
We have stayed here three times now, food is excellent, the staff are very efficient and friendly, we like how dog friendly JD Young is. The location is good for seeing Norfolk and Suffolk and Harleston is a bustling small town.
Ginni could not do enough for us during our stay. Easy check in and check out process. Rooms lovely and very clean. Would definitely recommend this hotel if staying in or around harleston. Great location
This hotel is amazing. Interior design throughout has been really well thought of and done to an extremely high standard. The food is absolutely fabulous. A little gem in Norfolk. Highly recommended.
Location was chosen so we were close to our work. Hotel generally 'quirky' due to age. Rooms and bedding clean and tidy. Breakfast v.good. Staff friendly. Overall nice place to stay.
This hotel is what I needed. After a long day, I had a nice meal at the hotel restaurant and a good night sleep. Breakfast in the morning was very nice.
Thank you
