Red Lion, hotel in Swaffham

Located in Swaffham, within 25 km of Houghton Hall and 49 km of Blickling Hall, Red Lion provides accommodation with a bar and free WiFi.

Great location. Extremely nice staff. Spotlessly clean room. Continental breakfast was perfect with natural yogurt, fresh raspberries, strawberries and blueberries and warm mini pastries. You could also order a cooked breakfast with a choice of size which I thought was a good idea for guests.

Strattons, hotel in Swaffham

In the historic market town of Swaffham, this award-winning eco conscious boutique hotel offers stylish accommodation in beautiful boutique-style rooms, suites and self catering apartments within one...

I didn't have the breakfast, but I did have fruit, pastry and muesli in the room when I got there. There was also a fridge with milk, water and a yogurt in. I loved the fact that it was just like the photos ( I stayed in cocoes one) I could sit on the sofa for the tv and to study which is the reason I went there. Sitting out on the balcony area listening to the church bells and the birds was fantastic. If its a quiet getaway you want then this is the place for you.

Nar river b&b, hotel in Swaffham

Boasting a patio with garden views, a garden and barbecue facilities, Nar river b&b can be found in Kings Lynn, close to Castle Acre Castle and 18 km from Houghton Hall.

Clean, comfortable, spacious and well located. I had a whole section of the house to myself with two bedrooms and a lovely bathroom. All was spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed. Lovely garden and river views. It worked out a little on the expensive side for me as a solo traveller but would be amazing value for a family. Self service continental breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice and good quality.

    Great location with a lovely Saturday market.

    Great location with a lovely Saturday market. The church is beautiful. Visitor centre and museum very interesting with lots of local history. Plenty of places to eat and some lovely independent shops. Recommend The George hotel for evening meals.

    Swaffham is a Georgian Market town with some beautiful buildings. Sadly there are some buildings closed and looking unloved. It would be good to see them renovated and looked after. There are good restaurants, pubs and bars so something to do in the evening. We visited 'Indian Dream' and had a delicious meal. At weekends there are market stalls in Market Square with surrounding cafes. Swaffham is an interesting place to visit & I will be going again.

    We have stayed in Swaffham a number of times and think it's a lovely place for a break. There are good pubs, cafes restaurants and 'proper' shops such as independent butchers. It's about halfway between King's Lynn and Norwich so is a good base for exploring the county.

    A cute little place to visit and stay for a couple of nights with friends. We enjoyed the market and auctions and looking around the little shops and eateries. Rasputin the Russian restaurant was amazing and worth a visit the food was gorgeous and the chef was lovely. Lots of lovely little cafes serving breakfasts/ lunches/ tea and cakes. Not to far to drive to the coast.

    I hadn’t been to Swaffham before.

    I hadn’t been to Swaffham before. I was pleasantly surprised by this market town and its wide -streeted central area and variety of shops. One or two buildings/retail properties needed some tender loving care, but hardly surprising in any town. A good variety of food and drink outlets and reasonable central parking.

    Swaffham the town was very friendly, good variety of shops, although quiet had your usual eateries, Costa coffee, Cafes ,pubs and local afternoon tea shops. The Red Lion pub served excellent food which we had outside on tables. Sunday early morning walk about was lovely, people saying good morning. Swaffham has a family of ducks wondering around the town, which are treated like celebrities, cars stop to allow them to cross the road and people in the town, see this a normal occurrence and even leave small containers of water for them to drink from.

    This was a weird hotel, restaurant food was good but the staff when we arrived were not polite and were in a bad mood. Also what was odd that 21.20 everyone left the restaurant on a Saturday night! The room was over priced and was very tatty. Not worth the money. The breakfast was very good and the waitress was happy and helpful. We were not told that the room was outside in a chalet type, if we had know we would not have booked. We will never stay here again.

    The property was just what we hoped for - plenty of parking, good size rooms and very well equipped. We came with our 13 month old, and the high chair, crib and stairgate provided were good quality. It's a short walk from the town centre which has all the amenities you could wish for, and just a few doors down in the other direction were peacocks in a garden! I would highly recommend, and gladly stay there again if we find ourselves in Swaffham in future.

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL hotel. Our rooms were stunning. Comfortable huge beds. Had tea and coffee stuff, would have been nice to be given a non dairy milk option as I'm lactose intolerant. Plenty of towels given, hair dryer, TV etc. The food was delicious and well presented, staff were also very friendly and helpful. Cute little church next door, and a garden which is probably lovely in warmer months.

    The breakfast was nice choice of food in a nice breakfast room. All of the hotel staff were very nice and helpful. We also had dinner on Friday evening with my daughter and her husband very young baby and her mother in law. We were happy that there were gluten free items on the menu and the waitress went and asked just to make sure for one of the items, one of the members of our group.

    Having travelled for work in the area, we were struggling to find suitable accommodation for a large group of technicians. Lydney House, being an old B&B, suited our needs perfectly as all rooms have seperate bathrooms, all within a 5 minute walk of Swaffham town centre. Great value for money, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean! Highly recommended!!!

    Staff were simply lovely. Chatting about the hotel history and bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and comfotable. Lovely lounge, bar and resturant. Wine reasonably priced. Great team and the hotel itself was steeped in history. Freshly cooked bfast was superb - smashed advocado stack with poached egg was exceptional !!

    It was perfect. We were staying in Swaffham for a friend’s party. Location was very close to the centre of town. All fittings and facilities were really good quality. The only thing missing was a liner for the kitchen bin so we used a carrier bag instead - didn’t want to make a mess! Thanks for a great stay.

    The bed was comfortable and the full English breakfast was excellent - a real plate full. The 2 evening meals we had in the hotel were also very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The lounge was comfortable with just soft background music.

    The location was good for the purpose of our visit. Our room was at the back of the hotel so it was quiet. The general manager was helpful and attentive after our bad experience.
