• Alex (10/5): -
• john (10/5): Excellent vfm, with a friendly host. - Convenient for the city centre, only about 25 minute walk. Very quiet. Owner now has the policy of letting one room out so had the upstairs to ourselves. Very friendly host , Anne, who made us a pot of tea on arrival and gave us some insights on what to see in Norwich. Lovely breakfast , home made muesli , nuts, cereals , toast, preserves, honey. Very clean , peaceful and welcoming. Recommended. Nothing. It was an exactly as we expected, with a live in host.
• Luke (10/5): Great place, great location and great host! -
• Andrew (9/5): A friendly stay in a quiet neighbourhood close to the city centre and at a very good price - A very warm welcome and an extremely comfortable night in a tastefully themed and quiet bedroom. Large personal bathroom and a heartwarming breakfast spread overlooking a lovely wildlife friendly garden. I cannot think of a single thing.
• Bruno (10/5): -
• Irene (10/5): The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was great. Anne was a great host. - The breakfast was very good. The accommodation was perfect for my needs. The property was clean, tidy and nicely decorated. The bedroom felt very cosy. A lovely garden view. Anne was a perfect host. Nothing not to like.
• Monika (10/5): We had a very easy time and felt comfortable and welcome - It was quiet, yet close to the city centre. The atmosphere is homely and comfortable. All great
• Ian (9/5): - Super friendly welcome Very close to town with a nice walk via the back streets where all the lovely independent shops were located
• Eva (10/5): -
• Mark (10/5): It was ideally placed for town centre and the theatre - Anne was an amazing host and went above and beyond anything a host would do
• Lesley (10/5): Anne is an extremely helpful, considerate host and runs a very welcoming homely homestay. - I felt very relaxed in the homely atmosphere and enjoyed the selection of teas available in my room. I'm gluten intolerant and so the simple, gluten-free breakfast couldn't have been better!
• Barry (10/5): - Made to feel very welcome. From arrival definitely recommend staying here.
• thesaintssupporter (10/5): - Excellent host Accommodation clean and tidy The host was very welcoming and made us feel at home Nothing to dislike

• Matthew (10/5): -
• Michael (9/5): -
• Victor (4/5): -
• Robert (10/5): Fab! My measure of a good place is, if I were to staying in the area again, would I just book this place or look for som - The property is on a quiet & peaceful neighbourhood, yet within very easy walking distance of Norwich city centre. It is easy to find & to access. The entire place is clean, tidy, well organised & free of clutter. … Books are not clutter. Nothing.
• Jon (10/5): -
• Iryna (9/5): Cosy BB in the centre of the city - Great welcoming owner, nice not very big room,but with everything you need, close to the centre, little but delicious breakfast Nothing 😊
• Saqhib (10/5): Hidden gem, only 15-20 min walk from shopping centre - Clean room, friendly host, very accommodating
• Angela (9/5): Great location and excellent host in a warm and welcoming home. - Anne welcomed us into her home, arranged for a parking permit and explained the facilities, nothing was too much trouble. As someone new to Gluten Free way of eating, i was delighted to hear that the whole house is GF, therefore the breakfast was delicious; GF toast, cereal and homemade granola (so lovely that I asked for the recipe). There was an interesting array of books in the room, fruit, nut bars, a fridge containing milk and water and a kettle. There was a TV but we didn't need it. The house is ideally situated within walking distance of the Theatre royal and city. There was nothing that we didn't like! On departure, my partner mentioned that he usually likes a cooked breakfast which Anne immediately said she would provide next time if he asks in advance. Anne was a wonderful host.
• Haifa (10/5): Welcoming homestay close to central Norwich - Very friendly welcome, safe and clean room 15 minutes walk from town, lovely breakfast included N/a
• Patricia (8/5): Full value and a genuinely lovely hostess. - The hostess was wonderful! The bed was comfortable and the granola was really delicious! A bit far from the station. We walked there from the station. Our host offered to drive us back to the train when we left. Very kind!
• Elizabeth & Joe (10/5): Lovely stay with delightful host. - Norwich Homestay is quiet, immaculately clean and well-located about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Norwich. Very comfortable bed and good adjacent bathroom. However, what really sets this place apart is the owner/host, Anne. Her warmth, care and hospitality are outstanding. It is quite obvious that she genuinely wants her guests to enjoy their stay and she does all she can to ensure that this happens. How refreshing. Her absolutely delicious breakfasts (especially the organic granola) should also be mentioned. Nothing.
• Stacey (10/5): Wonderful stay, warm and welcoming host, lovely room and a delicious breakfast – highly recommended. - Great communication with the owner and made to feel very welcome on arrival. The owner was lovely, so helpful and seemed to really care about her guests. She made my stay exceptional in every way and ... the breakfast was delicious. Having to leave after only 1 night.
• susan (10/5): - Beautifully clean and comfy. Anne was a wonderful host and the breakfast was fabulous Perfect location to explore the best of Norwich, especially the Lanes! Free parking was a bonus. Nothing not to like
• glenys (7/5): Host was warm and friendly and stay memorable - Breakfast was simple but tasty Didn't have to share bathroom but wouldn't have liked it if there were other guests and had to share
• Allen (9/5): Breakfast was great , sat watching all the birds. - Natural environment, very welcoming Nothing
• J (10/5): Brilliant. Go now - Everything! Nothing!
• Anne (9/5): Pleasant homestay - Kind, friendly host. Very clean and comfortable room. Large, well appointed separate private bathroom with excellent water pressure and hot water. Delicious gluten free breakfast in lovely room overlooking rear garden landscaped for wildlife. Easy 15 walk to city center. Variety of restaurants at top of street Insufficient outlets (had to unplug lamp and kettle to charge phones.) Unkempt appearance of front garden gives inaccurate impression that property may not be well maintained. Neighborhood is less attractive than some parts of Norwich but seemed perfectly safe to us.
• Nicky (9/5): Perfect location for Norwich city for a couple of nights. - Location was exactly as advertised. So easy to get into the city. Parking was free as stated and plenty of space to park. Host was welcoming and friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Room is fairly sized for two people and I would recommend staying here to others. Bathroom is large with a good shower (this always makes a difference to me!) Breakfast is gluten free which is wonderful to me as I try to be gluten free. My partner isn’t but he enjoyed the fresh fruit and gluten free toast too.
• Fiona (8/5): Perfect for a Short Stay - Host was lovely and really accommodating. Location was peaceful and very conveniently located for Norwich town centre. Good choice of breakfast options.
• Rozel (9/5): Extremely thoughtful hostess and GH with good access to local eateries and nearby old Norwich. - Anne was very attentive and friendly, wanting to ensure that we had absolutely everything we needed. Continental breakfast with many choices. Our room was spotless and with lots of thoughtful touches. It overlooked her back garden full of trees and shade. Good wifi. Bathroom just for us across the landing. Parking is across the quiet road and free by disc arranged by Anne. The location is less than a mile to walk into the city centre, but due to the heat we took our car. There are plenty of places to eat just at the top of her road. Not Anne's fault, but we stayed during the recent heatwave and, despite Anne's providing an electric fan and closing the blinds during the day, it was very hot and so difficult to sleep.
• Yaël (10/5): Ich fühlte mich wie zuhause. - Wer Diskretion in Kombination mit Herz und Humor zu schätzen weiss, wird mehr als glücklich sein mit der Unterkunft! Nichts
• Duncan (10/5): Bargain accommodation, lovely host, would stay again - Very welcoming host, lovely clean room and bathroom .
• Eri (10/5): Lovely stay - As an owner is a warm-hearted and very generous person, she made my stay so pleasant! The room is cozy and it has everything you need for your stay. Highly recommended! I don't know.
• Jason (9/5): Superb - Peaceful location
• Andrew (8/5): Very good - A welcoming host and a good night's sleep. Not really private, as you were aware that you were actually sharing a house rather than being a self-contained guest. Although it was quiet, the area was rather depressing.
• Cheryl (10/5): Feeling of being at home - The house had a calming and relaxing atmosphere
• Jill (8/5): Anne was very helpful and welcoming - Anne was welcoming, very friendly and helpful Nothing
• Darren (6/5): Clean and welcoming but someone’s home at the end of the day - Ultra clean. Very friendly and welcoming host. Very comfortable bed. Great coffee in the room. Great location Being in someone’s home, was not personally for me, despite the warm welcome. The separate bathroom also did not personally work for me. The tv did struggle to pick up lots of channels. Taking shoes off at the front door, also reinforced it is Anne’s home and not just a business opportunity. Recognise the host, Anne, did her best to facilitate my stay, but overall a bit more limited compared to other places I’ve stayed in Norwich in the same price bracket. And as I’ve said it really felt like a bedroom in someone’s home, which it is.
• Rick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Philippa (9/5): Superb - Friendly host and everything we needed.
• Dean (10/5): Great Place To Stay - The owner was great, with nothing too much trouble, and going out of her way to accomodate our every requirement. The location is fantastic less than a mile to walk into the city centre. N/A
• Thirlwell (10/5): Exceptional - Anne was a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, parking close to property was great.
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Tom (7/5): Good -
• Peter (8/5): Welcoming and comfortable -
• Kinga (10/5): Exceptional - A very nice room in a very nice place! It was a real pleasure to meet the host- Anne. A wonderful lady! The location is quiet and just a 10 minute walk from the old town, the breakfast is really good and the facilities fine. We recommend the place to everyone.
• John (7/5): Friendlyness - Breakfast is a vegan, gluten free, my partner enjoyed it. Ann the owner was very friendldy and helpful. My partner has an allergy to the carpets. The room was quite small, but pleasant. The vegan breakfast was not for me, I am a English breakfast lover. It should be noted in the information.
• Lara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Heather (9/5): Superb -
• Roger (10/5): Perfect stay for a break in Norwich. - Everything. The host Anne was so friendly and helpful. The location is great for a short walk into the city centre Nothing.
• Simon (10/5): Exceptional -

• Sharalou (5/5): Passable -

• Gary (10/5): Exceptional - Anne the owner was wonderful, couldn’t do enough for us. We’ve never stayed in someone else’s home before but would definitely do it again. The personal touch’s made it so much better than a hotel Nothing
• Beverly (10/5): If you’re looking for a home from home, then this is perfect! - Anne was a lovely host, very welcoming and made us feel at home. We had a very comfortable overnight stay! Would definitely stay there again, thank you! Nothing, we had all our needs catered for!
• India (10/5): We loved staying with Anne! She’s really helpful, kind and her granola is the best! :D thank you for letting us stay wit - Staying at a locals place was a great experience!!
• Thomas (9/5): Superb - Anne is a tremendous, very friendly host with a subtle feeling for the right kind of hospitality. It felt at ease from the start to the end of my 6 day stay. Should I want to stay in Norwich again, it would be at Anne's Homestay.
• Tracy (10/5): Excellent - Cleanliness was spot on and even tho the room wasn’t ensuite it was just across the hall and it was such a lovely bathroom it didn’t matter. The host was amazing couldn’t do enough for us. Not that we didn’t like,we think the host could maybe open up the front of the house a bit as it’s not easy to make out it’s actually a B@B not a criticism just a observation
• Knut (10/5): Exceptional - Accomodation was cosy, service was perfect, communication was rich & pleasant. I enjoyed the stay a lot. Unrestricted recommendation.
• Palfrey (10/5): Norwich homestay - Anne was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her.
• Rao (9/5): A rejuvenating getaway @ Homestay Norwich - Anne is an extremely wonderful and friendly host who made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. It made my stay so much more comfortable and relaxing. I enjoyed the lovely breakfast Anne prepared for me. The beautiful house is located in a quiet neighborhood which I liked. The room was clean and well maintained with basic facilities and is a great option for solo travellers. Overall, I was super pleased with everything and the experience was not just amazing but rejuvenating for me ! Honestly, I can't seem to find anything which I didn't like. Glad that I booked this place for my short getaway.
• Judith (10/5): Relaxing, comfortable, cheap home from home. - Excellent host, lovely: room, breakfast, own bathroom, chats with interesting host, free parking, excellent relatively cheap restaurant, at the top of the road, felt very safe and cosy without being constricted (the only thing: bring some indoor footwear). Nothing
• Gemma (8/5): Very good - Easy walk to town, easy check in. Lovely host
• Cath (10/5): Pleasant and comfortable stay and would recommend. - Our host went out of her way to ensure we had a pleasant stay. This is not a critics but a suggestion that it might be better if highlighted as a gluten free house which would fit into a whole new demographic of customers.
• Nigel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - Only 5 minutes walk to centre and host was fabulous
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional - Anne was amazing. Very welcoming. Location great for walking into city centre. We even got to see a hedgehog in her wildlife garden!
• Cheryl (9/5): Superb - Anne was lovely and friendly, willing to go above and beyond. Our stay was enjoyable and very comfortable. Would highly reccomend All was good
• Kathryn (10/5): Home-from-home Homestay - Anne is an exceptional host. Friendly and welcoming, considerate, and warm, she is determined that you enjoy your stay and relax in her home-from-home setting. There was "permit" parking outside her house, and she added my car reg to her permit for the length of my stay, which is clearly necessary in Norwich as finding non-permit parking would be nigh on impossible. When I visited, the room and bathroom were immaculately clean and had everything I could possibly need (hanging space/full-length mirror/make-up mirror/toiletries/hair dryer/selection of tea and coffee/mini fridge with your choice of milk/bowl of fresh fruit, even an electric blanket). I had sole use of the bathroom when I visited, which was great for me. Breakfast was gorgeous with homemade granola and jams, nuts, seeds, dried and fresh fruit, and organic bread. I only stayed one night, but honestly, I wish it had been longer. It was good for the soul and amazing value. Thank you, Anne. I will definitely be staying again when I next visit Norwich!
• Chris (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (10/5): A perfect stay. I hope we can return. - I can’t imagine a better host. Anne looked after us so well and prepared excellent breakfasts. We got soaking wet one night and she dried all our clothes. We had some great conversations with her. I cannot recommend a stay here highly enough. Nothing
• Judith (9/5): Superb - Excellent gluten free breakfast
• Monica (10/5): Lovely little place with an amazing host - Anne is an amazing host. I really enjoyed my stay! The room is quiet facing an amazing garden!
• Leen (10/5): Friendly host, good room and great breakfast - Very friendly host. Comfortable room. Great continental breakfast with homemade products. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Also gluten-free home.
• Isobel (10/5): Just what we needed. - Fantastic host
• Irene (10/5): Exceptional - Homestay, the name says it all: our host Ann did everything to make us feel at home, from the oat milk and filtered water waiting for us in our room to the delicious vegan breakfast. It's an oasis of calm and care.
• Lissy (10/5): Exceptional - Anne was amazing from start to finish. As soon as I had booked she messaged me to say hi and provide information for our arrival. We were attending a festival and was arriving in Norwich at 10:30am but check in was not until 12pm. Anne facilitated us dropping off our luggage and a parking permit so we could get on with enjoying our day, she was super helpfull at giving us directions for the local area. The room was clean and tidy and the bed super comfy. The room was stocked with tea/coffee making facilities, fruit and snacks, and chilled water. There was a mini fridge in the room. The bathroom is large , the shower is a power shower and very good. All toiletries and towels were provided. Breakfast was amazing! A selection of cereals, nuts, dried and fresh fresh fruit, perserves (some of which are homemade), seeds and bread for toast. The star of the show for breakfast though was Anne's homemade gronala! Omg! It was the best gronala I've had! Anne very kindly provided me with the recipie. We really enjoyed our stay and Anne is a fantastic host 😊
• Caroline (8/5): Overall, a good stay - Clean, friendly hostess, great healthy breakfast No issues
• Amngomes (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very welcoming and made us feel like at home. The breakfast was really good (homemade granola with some fresh fruits which were all in all amazing. If being really picky, the floorboards from the bathroom could be a bit noisy, which made us feel a bit unconfortable in case we were making too much noise specially in the morning, but not really that bad.
• Robert (5/5): Anne is a very welcoming person and provides a good service. - It was adequate for a 1 night stay. The location wasn’t what we expected.
• Michael (9/5): Amazing host - great location - cosy stay - Amazing host who made us feel welcome from the get go and was pleasant throughout. Breakfast choices were nice and tasty - although a little more variety would have been nice - but what we had was lovely!
• Izaak (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable bed, great facilities, wonderful breakfast and lovely host. We felt so welcome the whole time.
• Iris (10/5): Beautifull days in Norwich. -
• John (9/5): Superb - The accommodation was clean and the location ideal to explore Norwich city. Anne was attentive to our wishes and provided a solid breakfast each day. Although we are not vegan nor do we have problems with glutin, everything was to our satisfaction. Thank you Anne for everything. We hope the marathon went well. No problems at all
• Stefani (10/5): Exceptional - Anne has created a restful, spotless sanctuary for her guests. The room was very comfortable, I slept really well and the vegan breakfast was delicious. The added bonus is the location within easy walking distance of restaurants, supermarket and even a cat café. I look forward to staying at Homestay Norwich again.
• Greg (6/5): Adequate - Ok Less clutter
• Margaret (8/5): Anne was very happy to please ,to the town - Light Ann asked what we liked then got it for us. Bed could be more comfortable.
• Tracey (10/5): Exceptional - Anne was a fabulous host and the breakfast was lovely. As a lone woman I felt very safe and the accommodation was just right for me. Very comfortable and spotless. Would definately stay again and highly recommend. Everything was great
• Edward (9/5): A friendly place to stay with a hospitable host - Very friendly and welcoming host. Room was clean and secure, and had everything I needed. This isn’t a negative at all, but it’s worth noting that Homestay is very much designed to feel like you are a guest in someone’s house, as opposed to a hotel - so that should be factored in when choosing.
