Fantastic accommodation and great food, what more can you ask for. I'd recommend booking a table ahead of time as it can get very busy (a sign of good food!).

We loved every minute of our stay here. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our room was so clean and stylish, had everything you need. Breakast was cooked to perfection, plenty if it. Definitely stay there again after such a warm.relax atmosphere.
Excellent comfy room with a few minor drawbacks, it was over the main restaurant area so was noisy early on, the water pressure on both hot and cold was poor but the shower was excellent and no toilet roll holder. The staff in general were very good and Jenny was excellent. The food in the restaurant was pricey but if superb quality, especially the home made pie.The draught beer was excellent and the wines very drinkable. The room cleaner left a bit to be desired, not a thorough job by any means., only straightened the bed linen and left the towels.
Excellent 3-night stay, food was exceptionally good (Sunday Roast was the best we've had) and the staff were very friendly. The room was very comfortable and very up to date. We will definitely book here again on our next visit to the area.
Didn't have breakfast as we needed an early start.But the evening meal was good and the staff were excellent

All was fine
Only one problem, the bathroom light, very bright and the fan came on when you entered the bathroom, extremely annoying when you go to the loo 2/3 times in the night
The Plough is a good class pub with clean, modern rooms. What makes them special is that it's such a friendly place to stay and the pub food is excellent. We were there for five days and I could have done with a few more to work my way through the menu. We'll also certainly miss their breakfasts.
It is situated well for visiting Norwich and the Norfolk Coast.
It's true that you can hear the busy road with the window open, but hey, life's a compromise and we'll happily take that.
Rooms very nicely decorated and equipped with Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate and soft drink sachets.
Lovely large comfortable King size bed and bathroom equipped with shower in a large cubicle and selection of toiletries.
Full English breakfast was delicious and tasty.
Room was very comfortable and clean and provided exactly what we needed for one night. Breakfast staff was very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The only downside was that the cooked breakfast was rather bland in taste.
Ideally located for visiting North East Norfolk.
Good breakfast
Clean room
Friendly and efficient staff
Comfortable bed
Quite expensive for what it offers
Very pleasant room with small but renovated bathroom. Excellent evening meal, quality ingredients and very well presented. Friendly staff made us very welcome. Would recommend.
We booked dinner for our first night, which was just as well as it's clearly very popular. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious.
