The Norfolk Mead Hotel

Beautiful room,private garden,excellent food only down side the bar was shut at 22.30 Maybe an 23.00 closing time so that guests can have a night cap. Breakfast was lovely as usual ( 3rd time of staying) Staff attentive without being in your personal space. A lovely very short break

What an incredible place! We’ve stayed at the Norfolk Mead, although this was our first time since the spa opened - WOW! The hotel seems even more gorgeous and we never tire of the view when you reach the bottom of the drive. An incredible position on the river they feels like your in a secret oasis - although you’re just a walk away from some great pubs and a short drive from some fabulous attractions and days out! The hotel is wonderfully run, you feel relaxed and at home, although the standards are high and you feel very well looked after. The team are incredibly attentive and recognise us when we return - a really nice touch. We absolutely love the breakfast which boasted a new menu on this trip which was a fab surprise. We stayed in the Blackberry cottage which is a wonderful home from home with lounge, three bedrooms and two bathrooms - perfect for the family to have some space. The spa is simply amazing - no wonder it’s won a prestigious award so soon after opening! The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into it and considered absolutely everything - with some lovely little touches! The decor is gorgeous, very high-end and you feel relaxed from the moment you step through the doors! The main hydrotherapy pool area is a lovely place to pass the time and the outdoor hot tub and sauna are a brilliant addition. The bar and restaurant area is lovely and was the perfect place to get a drink and bite to eat. Thank you to the team for another wonderful stay and we hope to be back soon! Would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Norfolk Meads Hotel! The spa area is great fun and very relaxing. We came away from that feeling very refreshed. Our room was gorgeous and the breakfast was delicious. All the staff were very friendly and I'd definitely recommend this hotel to everyone who's looking for a luxurious stay. We live nearby, so we'll definitely be visiting again!

Excellent spa and massage - I visit regularly and it never disappoints! There is also a good choice of food in the restaurant or coffee bar, the scones are delicious! This is also a great base to explore Norwich and the wider Norfolk coast and countryside.

We have visited the Norfolk Mead Hotel a few times and have always had a lovey stay. With the addition of a new spa we were keen to visit once again and we weren’t disappointed. We enjoyed a superb tapas lunch in the Spa restaurant and loved the variety of dishes on offer - both for meat eaters and veggies. We also enjoyed the facilities that the spa had to offer including the Beer Spa delicately scented and super relaxing. The local beer on tap that you pour whilst in the tub is a fun addition. From the hydrotherapy pool to the outside jacuzzi and the super chilled relaxation room we really enjoyed our spa experience. Our overnight stay was very comfortable and the breakfast as top notch as ever.

My partner and I had booked at a different spa hotel in the area and were disappointed enough to leave after the first hour there, in the hope of finding a better alternative. That alternative was the Norfolk Mead, and we are so happy we found it. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our 2-night stay, the room was clean and well furnished, the music playing around the hotel was excellent and the food on the whole was wonderful. My partner is quite heavily pregnant and has some related dietary requirements, and I have my own, far more annoying dietary requirements, and they adjusted and provided without hesitation. My only complaint would be that the steak wasn't up to our expectations, but we were so happy with everything else that that won't affect my 5 star review. The spa needs its own section. It had been open only 2 months when we arrived, and it had clearly been well thought-out, with money spent in very good places. The herbal steam room, tropical shower, hot tub and cold splash buckets were my highlights. We also each had a massage treatment with Lydia, who was both excellent and lovely to talk to. My partner felt very well cared for in her pregnancy massage, which was a large part of the reason for going to a spa in the first place. All in all a wonderful experience, and we now have another favourite destination for whenever parenthood allows us to slip away! Would definitely recommend.
