We attended a wedding and stayed the night. The reception check in staff were fantastic and arranged our room was available slightly earlier to get changed before the wedding. The rooms were great, clean, comfy bed and the shower was very powerful (managed to spray it out the bathroom, oops, sorry about that - very powerful!) The wedding host was a very capable chap, nothing was too much trouble and it was a really enjoyable stay. Well done to everyone involved in keeping the place running, a great place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We had a lovely stay including a Shardlake's Norwich tour and in the evening a lovely meal. Enjoyed our room.
1-night trip

10/10

We enjoyed our stay at the Maid's Head, both for its well-appointed rooms and central location. We were a stone's throw from the cathedral, charming pubs, and restaurants, yet our room was blissfully quiet. My only complaint is that the website says the hotel offers "ample complimentary car parking on site," yet when we checked in, we were charged an additional £20. I expressed surprise at this, but as the reception clerk didn't yield, I figured I'd been mistaken. This took a bit of the shine off our otherwise pleasant stay.
As lovers of history, we were chuffed to stay in England's oldest hotel in continuous operation.
Which is not to say the Maid's Head is not also thoroughly up-to-date. I was amused to discover the scarf I bought in York (on the right) was the same pattern as the throw in our room (on the left).
