2/10 Poor

We arrived late to a building site. Grappled for a key in a cobwebby entrance. The room looked cleanish but it smelt kind of musty and felt like there was a film of grease everywhere.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely excellent service, outstanding food, wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Currently going through renovations but the room was very clean, DIY breakfast was topped up each day and can recommend the full English, which was an extra charge but definitely more than worth it. Thank you to all the staff and will definitely return

The Willow House is now looking tired.

I have always stayed here whilst working at Snetterton Circuit. Rooms are spacious with a fridge, microwave and breakfast items in the room! Great for me with being away early in the mornings. Arrived on Friday evening having been sent details of the keycode to access my room. Been working all day so I went straight to the bar for a drink and food at about 7:55, The was a group of 7/8 people ordering food and and by the time I could be served I was greeted with the "kitchen closes at 8!" I was tired (so didn't want to have to go out elsewhere and I was actually staying there, so the lady behind the bar checked with the kitchen coming back with a flat no! Not impressed. To close a kitchen at 8pm on a Friday does seem a bit early? I was heading back to my room. Googling where else to go when another lady caught up with me and said she would tell the kitchen to serve me! Unfortunately, the wifi was not working at the Willow House and the mobile data signal is very poor, which gave me serious problems with work in the evenings meaning I didn't get to bed until the early hours. In the morning I was hoping for a refreshing shower to wake me up, bit unfortunately it wasn't much more than a dribble! On Saturday evening I called in at the nearby Tesco to get a microwave meal to avoid the problems of the previous night. Another long night with no wifi and in the morning the shower water gave up typically when I had shampoo in my hair! Not the best of experiences

Rooms were a big size. A little cold and needs a bit of a refurb but generally good value for money. Pub is lovely, I didn’t try the food.

Will stay again

Food was delicious, both evening and our cooked breakfast. Came with continental in room but fancied a cooked one. Also had microwave oven, fridge and toaster too, which would be a bonus if staying longer. Dog friendly and very friendly staff. Ignore the building site outside whilst they are renovating.

Spacious well equipped rooms with great restaurant

I stay at the Willow House a couple of time a year with work and have always found the accommodation to be excellent. Spacious rooms with plenty of power points, fridge, toaster, microwave and some breakfast supplies in your room. The bed is comfortable and although the ensuite is compact, it has everything you need. The restaurant serves great food too.

It was ideal for me attending a wedding nearby. They helped me arrange a taxi to and from the wedding venue. Staff that I met were helpful and friendly

JOSEPH, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was very clean and very well equipped together with a extremely comfortable bed. Food in the pub was exceptional in terms of quality and portion sizes!! Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Only minor negative observations are that the annex accommodation is a little tired from the outside and beware the footway leading to rooms as there lurks an unmarked trip hazard across the pathway - be careful !! However, overall, a very good place to stay and we would recommend.
