Guest Reviews

• Fred (8/5): - It was very a very unique, quiet location and daily room service. Breakfast was very good with great choice and quality.
• Beatrice (10/5): This is a lovely place to stay. - It was all excellent particularly the breakfasts and I liked having a fridge. One star lost for Eco -friendly because no container for recycling, tiny plastic containers for shampoo and my hand towel was unnecessarily replaced (although i appreciate the good intentions). I had a lovely room with antique-type decorations.

Interesting tales from landlady Audrey who makes a delicious and elegant breakfast served on beautiful Royal Albert Old Country Rose crockery.
• Patrick (10/5): - it has a certain period charm
• DAVID (10/5): Nice place to stay - Audrey was very welcoming and the room was spotless and breakfast spot on
• Brian (10/5): Thursford Show - Excellent stay - room a bit on the small side but to be expected in a building of this age, spotlessly clean. Owner very friendly and helpful in every way. Superb breakfast fresh fruit nothing out of a tin and full English cooked to perfection.
• Keith (8/5): - A visit to Thursford for the Christmas spectacular. We arrived early but were welcomed in and shown to a very clean and well presented room. Breakfast for the two days of our stay was excellent.
• Mandy (10/5): See Review - Only issue we found was the lady hasn't been vaccinated as does not agree with it. I am surprised as many people are coming into her establishment. I work for the NHS and was quite shocked.If l had known this beforehand l would not have stayed here. B&B was lovely. Very quirky. Lovely female touches. Warm and comfy. Lovely breakfast.
• Jean (10/5): - The whole place was so warm and welcoming with antiques in every corner. The bed was comfortable with a amazing duvet that wrapped you up in a warm embrace. The breakfasts was vast and of a high standard. Amazing stay, thank you
• Kelly (10/5): Lovely - Our room was lovely. Big beautiful bed, ensuite bathroom with a separate shower. Fresh milk in the little 1/2 pint bottles. Very warm room. And even though you are on the main road threw the village it was very quiet. Pub next door and a fish and chip shop 150 yards away.
• Patrick (10/5): A very pleasant surprise stay. - Beautiful little cottage with a very friendly host, breakfast was amazing. Very quite and everything in the room was well thought out. Fresh milk,tea and coffee. Bed was comfortable and you can come and go as you please as long as you lock the front door.
• Rhys (10/5): Lovely peaceful place to unwind - Absolutely lovely and the owner is a character.
• Glen (10/5): Recent stay - Absolutely lovely place, really old Fashioned and charming, a real step back in time to the good old days with a really warming feel and very good food. Any tourists Looking for old England need to visit, blink and you’ll miss it
• David (10/5): It’s like staying in an Antique shop. - We were greeted by Audrey when we arrived around 6:40pm. We were in room 1 and it was like stepping back in time with antique furniture around the room, we were given a menu sheet and asked to fill in what we required for breakfast and asked what time we would like to eat. Breakfast was served in a room that can only be described as stunning. Breakfast was delicious and Audrey entertained us with stories of her life as a musician. Unfortunately Audrey is suffering with ill health at the moment but nothing was stopping her from continuing to look after her guests. A gem of a place and a gem of a lady.
• Kevin (10/5): Home from home - We have just returned from a 2 night stay and Audrey could not have made us more welcome. Very clean and comfortable room and an excellent breakfast. Quiet village location and an ideal base from which to explore the North Norfolk coastline. Would definitely stay again. Kevin & Karen from Essex
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We were met by the owner Audrey who is a lady of great character with an interesting history. She has a home which is bedecked with vintage memorabilia & breakfast was serenaded by the likes of Glenn Miller. We had a room with king sized bed which was very comfortable & the en-suite clean & well equipped with large jacuzzi bath as well as a free standing shower cubicle. Breakfast was satisfying with a good choice of food.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - What a find.......
• Bryan (10/5): Very, very comfortable - A very comfortable stay. Free parking and a pub next door. Quiet location and travelling to Wells Next the Sea, Cromer & Sheringham fairly easy.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Super place to stay, with a good pub next door. - Great choices for breakfast, served on Royal Albert china with music playing which created a nice ambience. Room was quite luxurious with plenty of pillows etc. Shower headroom was limited for my 6 foot husband though.
• william (10/5): Great stay in a comfortable accommodation. - Comfortable accomodation, in a grade 2 listed building. The row of cottages of which this is part date back several hundred years. Sympathetically furnished but the bathroom was clean and modern. Fridge in the bedroom with fresh milk for tea and coffee, great to keep the wine cool. Lovely breakfast including the black pudding I was hoping for. Had to say what time and order the breakfast the night before but it meant it was served very quickly and piping hot. And there's a real ale pub serving food next door. What more could you want?
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Pleasant stay in peaceful property in quiet village well placed to access north Norfolk coast through short drives.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Fairly average, bed way too soft.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The property doesn’t look much from outside but it’s in a top order inside. Audrey’s attention to detail is unbeatable. The breakfast was amazing. We would definitely recommend to our friends and family.
• David (10/5): - It was amazing,
• Robert (10/5): Marvellous venue for a quiet and peaceful getaway! - What an amazing venue for a relaxing trip away. Set in a quiet village 15 mins from the sea and 1 minute from lovely country walks! Melody House is a step back in time, but not detracting from the comfort of the facilities, the quality of service and the lovely and interesting owner who does everything! You have to stay at Melody House at least once in your lifetime!!
• Pam (10/5): - What a wonderful place to stay small village outside Fakenham, room 4 was a good size with a very large comfortable bed. Bathroom with spa bath and shower. Breakfast was amazing Would definitely return
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed for one night, and wished that we could have stayed longer. The room was lovely, and the bed super comfortable. Breakfast was served in a lovely room and was extremely good. We will definately go again if we are in the area.
• Helen (10/5): - Nice room, with proper glasses and a little fridge. Decent-sized bathroom. All clean.
• Vanessa (10/5): - An amazing stay at Melody House, lovely decor, spotlessly clean and very welcoming. Nice room with a comfy bed, fudge, shortcake and everything you need, even a little fridge. We forgot to fill out the breakfast menu but were reminded by a late tap on our door from the host, with an apology for disturbing us, but we were the ones apologising as can only imagine how much organising that goes into running the B & B so smoothly and totally on her own at the moment!! The breakfast was gorgeous, with the tables beautifully laid, lovely fresh fruit salad and the 'best ever' cooked breakfast according to my partner and we stay over at a lot of places!! Have already decided to rebook for September for a few nights this time as it is also in a nice location, close to many 'must visit' villages and places of interest. Thank you to the warm, friendly and chatty host xx
• Joanne (8/5): - The room was clean and tidy and there was lovely home cooked fudge and shortbread as well as tea and coffee and milk refreshed everyday. Lovely home cooked breakfast everyday and great hospitality.
• Michael (10/5): - A wonderful host, very friendly welcome, the property was immaculate. Breakfast first class. Will definitely go again! Description does not do it proud!
• Wayne (10/5): Mazing little place - Excellent place to stay and attention to detail with everything. Well worth a visit.
• Ruth (10/5): Awesome - Amazing hosts, building full of history, quaint village, oodles hot water, best breakfast, comfortable bed, should be 5* rated.....it is that good. I will return.
• Christine (10/5): Short Break - Relaxing and restful. Great accommodation well worth booking. Will return.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely room, comfy bed, gorgeous complimentary home made shortbread and fudge, fab breakfast
• Verified traveler (10/5): - welcoming reception. lovely proprietor breakfast excellant
• Ken (8/5): A lovely stay in a quaint and kistch room. - Such a lovely place, sadly arrived late to appreciate its immediate surroundings, the church looked like a must visit at another time because of its octagonal tower. Disturbed by the electricity turning off at midnight, no one appeared to know why BUT it was swiftlt rectified and power was restored. So very well done with your swift response. Nearby Wells Next The Sea is a grand and unspoilt coastal town with the ubiquitous cafes and restaurants. Overall a definite return to this place hopefully in less of a hurry.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Charming. - Was every bit as good as expected. Much like other reviews. Room was beautiful. Huge bed with beautiful fold down cover matching the heavy curtains. We were in the best room. Breakfast was first class served on English Rose crockery. It you love old English style rather than modern melamine furniture then go for it. Next door is a expensive pub eatery. Check the ' specials' prices before ordering.... There is no written specials menu and you will be offered them but not told the price you will be charged????? . That also applies to the wine.??????. Not come a across that elsewhere.????
• Verified traveler (10/5): - the attention to detail on things I.e proper traditional table layout. Crisp white linen
• Verified traveler (10/5): - A quiet location, beautifully presented. Awesome breakfast and bedroom facilities including home make biscuits and fudge. Lovely host - perfect .. highly recommended.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Melody House is an authentic rural Norfolk bed and breakfast. I couldn't fault it, and the breakfast was amazing.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a lovely stay. It is set in a really nice area. Staff were very welcoming, the room was lovely and we had a delicious breakfast. The WiFi password we were provided with didn’t work, but we were only staying one night so didn’t discuss this with the staff.
• David (10/5): Great stay - thank you - Felt very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Satisfactory stay although bed rather soft for us.
• Robert (10/5): Tunful - Very good
• Joan (8/5): - A friendly, welcoming home from home stay. Excellent breakfast and service.
• Mrs Julia (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay at Melody House B&B. It is located in a small delightful village, and is appropriately charming and quaint. Lovely breakfast with friendly service, comfortable bed and thoughtfully-provisioned room. Melody House has its name from the musician-proprietor - a lady trumpeter - and there are lovely pictures and memorabilia from the past, including when Melody House itself was a shop. It really feels like a loved home! There was a moving WW1 display in the front window when we came (around Remembrance Sunday). Just a tiny word of warning.... as this is a small, family-run B&B, there isn't necessarily someone immediately on hand when you arrive. We had to ring the doorbell quite a while before someone answered.... we were beginning to get a bit worried that we weren't expected! The bell WAS answered of course - the delay was just an unfortunate combination of circumstances - and we were welcomed warmly. It may help if you can let them know roughly when you expect to arrive.
• John (8/5): - enjoyed our short stay - room lighting (room 1) is very subdued and could do with a light over the tea trolley and for reading - otherwise the facilities and service is excellent..
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very comfortable. Great breakfast. friendly staff. - Not far from north norfolk coast. great food at pub next door.
• John (10/5): Very nice stay - Superb accommodation, excellent breakfast, very comfortable room. Good location for exploring this lovely part of Norfolk.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This was just an over night stay while visiting friends
• Jane (10/5): Lovely stay - Lovely overnight stay at Melody house. Very well kept, Breakfast was exceptional . Would stay again.
• Margaret (10/5): Lovely B&B in the middle of the village. - The choice on the breakfast menu was amazing, beautifully cooked and presented. Nice touch in the room was a fridge & real milk. Also our host makes biscuits & fudge which was on the tea tray, replenished every day. Also on the tray were wine glasses & a cork screw. Toiletries also were available.
• Frederic (8/5): Delightful - Last minute booking for just one night. Delightful quirky house and sumptuous bedroom with enormous bed and lovely crisp linen. Breakfast of our choice was cooked to order was perfect with a pot of freshly brewed strong coffee to set us up perfectly for the day. Will definitely return but for a longer stay. The pub next door served excellent food which meant there was no need to drive into town.
• Andrew (10/5): - Genuinely friendly, with a very homely feel. Superb.
• Nigel (10/5): Friendly and comfortable - Friendly staff and comfortable with a much-needed fan and fridge in the hot weather!
• Claire (10/5): Quiet and Comfortable in a good location. - Lovely B&B, immaculately clean and very peaceful. Audrey our hostess was very helpful and attentive and also had some good tales to tell!! The room was comfortable and very well equipped with a fridge containing fresh milk and biscuits and fudge to welcome you. A well stocked refreshment tray was provided with nice china and glasses. Good supply of complimentary toiletries. Breakfast was excellent and the table laid beautiful with fresh linen and lovely china. 30 mins drive to Sheringham and the North Norfolk coast A really lovely find and will most likely return. Pub next door provided an excellent dinner.
• Richard (8/5): A well run establishment in a lovely Norfolk villa - A traditional style b&b with comfortable rooms and guest area. The breakfast was of excellent quality.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice hotel in pretty village
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice B&B - very clean and comfortable in a lovely village &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
• Guy (10/5): Amazing VfM - I was upgraded to a double room with a Jacuzzi as I had asked for a room with a bath. I had seen some comments saying the landlady was frosty. I have to admit I got a sense of that when I arrived but I think this is honestly down to shyness and being new to B7Bs - she is an absolute sweetheart!. My room was very clean and beautiful (if a little old fashioned) and the breakfast was 100% and presented so artistically. Please ignore any negative comments you may have read - this full deserves its 4.8 status. Brilliant!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good comfortable
