The hotel is lovely and in a great location (note it is not in Norwich as suggested by Expedia but in Aylsham). Aylsham is a small but vibrant town with plenty of dining and drinking options. The food in the hotel itself is excellent, although the portions are very large. After one dinner and breakfast, we didn't need to eat again for 24 hours, as we were so full. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. However, our choice of room was less good. Room 104 is very noisy, with an air conditioning unit outside the window that ran all night. On the first morning, we were also disturbed early by someone rattling crockery, the window cleaner and a beer delivery. On the second morning, someone was vacuuming outside our room at 6am. The rooms on the next floor probably couldn't hear any of this, so if you ensure you don't get room 104, I would highly recommend The Black Boys.

One night stay

The hotel was as expected and we had a comfortable stay prior to doing the Norfolk Mighty Hike for Macmillan. The room was well furnished, the staff accommodating and the breakfast in the morning was very tasty. The only negative I would comment on was that the provision of one small bottle of water between two people is a little tight for the price of the room

We have been coming here off and on for several times per year and for more years than can remember. It serves our purposes well for both visiting family and also for yearly RunNorwich event in September. Always lovely staff who are very helpful. Matt the manager is a lovely guy too and runs the place very well. Great food and a fabulous breakfast is in with the stay. I find I eat far too much at breakfast as it is so scrummy. Still this week that’s offset as it’s part of London marathon preparation and I need to “fuel up”, that’s my excuse anyway.
