The seafood dishes were exceptional, though the room felt a bit cramped.

delightful stay with easy access to historical sites and parks

I spent one night in a comfortable double room and absolutely loved the warm hospitality from the owner, who made me feel right at home, while the close proximity to Thursford Collection, just a short walk away, offered a perfect starting point for my city strolls to explore local landmarks and parks like Hindringham Hall Gardens within walking distance.

Food was exceptional, with an incredible seafood selection and mouth-watering desserts.

Delightful, Delightful, Delightful

The seafood dishes were absolute show-stoppers. I still dream about that creamy garlic spread! Such a lovely personal touch by Chef Colin made dining feel like a family affair. And let me tell you, those pillows were pure clouds — I floated into a deep sleep.

100% recommend 🥰❤️

Culinary Excellence

great food but small dining area

The food options pleasantly surprised us with exceptional seafood dishes. The home baked bread served with garlic spread was a delightful touch that we truly enjoyed.

The dining area felt a bit cramped during peak hours.

Had an amazing time with friends! We explored the local attractions, especially the incredible live music shows at the Wurlitzer in the collection and enjoyed walking part of the Peddars Way. The breakfast was fantastic and started our days perfectly. Definitely recommend for a fun getaway.

Our only downside was that the Wi-Fi wasn't very reliable during our stay, making it tough to plan our days at times.

Exceptional food and friendly staff, but no Wi-Fi in the room.

i had a wonderful stay at the old forge seafood restaurant that exceeded my expectations. the food was exceptional, especially the home-baked bread and garlic spread made by the talented chef colin. the cozy ambiance made this relaxing spa holiday truly enjoyable.

bathroom was a bit cramped

The cozy double room was a nice retreat, and the delicious homemade bread and butter pudding was the highlight of our meals! There were lovely spots to relax and enjoy some local scenery, which made the stay even better. Just a heads up, the bathroom was a bit snug, but it didn't take away from our overall experience. 😊

the food was absolutely amazin, like really exceptional, especially the seafood dishes. the home baked bread was so yummy, paired well with colin's garlic spread. breakfast was super substantial before we had to head back south. the staff were so delightful and friendly. the dining area felt really cozy too!

rooms were a bit cramped and the bathrooms were on the smaller side. parking was a little tricky too.

We enjoyed the exceptional seafood dishes, especially the delicious home-baked bread with garlic spread, and the substantial breakfast before our journey home. I would definitely come back!

Family with children enjoyed it

Food was exceptional. Home baked bread delicious, just the ticket for a generous helping of the garlic spread made by young Colin our Chef and Host Extraordinare.

It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable

Great stay!

Had a fun night here. The location by Thursford is really handy! The pillows were super comfy, best I’ve ever used. Breakfast was tasty and I loved the dinner too. Colin the owner was super friendly and made me feel at home. Only wish there was a proper shower curtain in the bathroom.
