Breakfast - menu includes instruction to ‘have as much or little as we wanted, which put us at ease straight away. Host perfectly attuned to guests. Our room was particularly pleasant, light and airy with (unusually) two comfortable armchairs for when we were spending time in the room. Everything I wanted had been thought of including small touches such as a box of paper hankies in the room, plentiful hangers, a heated towel rail and more. A roomy, pleasant, secluded garden with places to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Parking in front space off the street.
Nothing. For me it was perfect.

This was only a one night stay en route to somewhere else and we did not book breakfast. Nonetheless, the stay impressed us so much that we would definitely stay there if we ever passing that same way. The rooms were large, elegantly furnished and the beds were like something out of a fairy tale - so comfortable we all fell asleep the moment we got in. The ensuite shower was brilliant. The entry instructions were sent on the morning on the arrival and easy to follow. All in all, a short but memorable experience.

The Old Rectory is located in a quiet part of King's Lynn, within 15 mins walk of the town centre. There was off street parking available, but it would have been quite tight if the property was fully booked. The property operates a self service check in, with instructions being texted on the morning of arrival. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. My room was in the bottom of the property, it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order by a friendly and welcoming housekeeper.
The en suite shower room was quite small but the shower was clean and worked well

The room was larger than we expected it was very bright and airy. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for our short break. Plenty of space to store clothes if needed, tea and coffee was provided. The bathroom was clean and the shower was lovely and hot. There was a good choice at breakfast we had the full English and this was really nice good quality bacon and sausages and perfectly poached eggs. There was also a good range of cereals,fruit,yoghurt and you could help yourself to toast. The host was very welcoming and happy to cook what you preferred from the choices available.
My wife found the mattress a little too hard for her taste but I thought it was very comfortable. It is impossible to please everyone, It is very much down to personal preference. This is by no way a criticism just an observation .

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and the location was good.
When booking I had mentioned that one of us has a food intolerance. However, this was not acknowledged or mentioned by the proprietor and no attempt was made to accommodate our needs. Whilst the self check in system is useful it means that on arrival there is no one to speak to for information about the best places to eat etc. Maps of the town are provided but it would have been useful if there had also been a list of suggested pubs and restaurants.

Arriving at the property was easy to find gaining entry via instruction was easy. The property was absolutely beautiful, clean and welcoming. Our room was amazing comfortable clean cosy and spacious. We both had a fantastic night's sleep that we could of stayed longer, so peaceful. In the morning we was welcomed by the host he was very friendly made us feel very welcome and there was a great variety for breakfast. I would definitely be staying here again and recommending it highly to others.
There was nothing not to dislike about this place.

Location was in a nice, mostly residential area, close to a lovely park. The hotel owner kindly agreed to my request for a top floor room. The room itself (Magnolia, large double bed) was beautiful & both the room & ensuite shower room were very clean. The self check-in worked well. The owner was very kind when I rang in a panic the day prior to arrival, to ask for the check-in instructions - it turns out that this is not usually texted to your phone until the AM of check-in day! As someone who plans itineraries, this was not ideal, but the hotel owner promptly sent me the instructions after a quick chat on the phone. All resolved, thankfully. All in all, a pleasant stay.
1. No option to have check-in instructions 3 days prior to arrival - this would have alleviated a lot of anxiety. 2. No mention that the grandfather clock could be heard chiming at every hour - in the daytime, this would be delightfully quaint, but would be most unwelcome if you are a light sleeper trying to sleep at night.

Super comfy beds in a very generously sized room with 2 really comfy armchairs. Lots of light for reading. Private parking is a bonus in this residential area where there wasn't a space to be seen on the street. Excellent powerful shower. Good breakfast cooked fresh to order. Easy check in.
Beware guest access is round the side down a number of steps and then some of the rooms are on the top floor up two steep flights of stairs. It's not a complaint, just an observation to be aware of if anyone has mobility issues. It's simply down to the age and style of the building. And the owner kindly opened the front door for us when leaving so we didn't have to drag our cases all the way down and back up.

The Old Rectory was a very convenient walk to the town in a quiet residential road. The owners provided an excellent map, with suggested walking routes and places of note in King's Lynn. We had a good sized, comfortable and tastefully decorated room. The twin beds and pillows were very comfortable, with high quality bedding and a suitable lightweight Summer duvet. There were ceiling lights, and three other lamps, two of which were perfect for reading in bed. We were lucky to have a basement room, with windows on either side, on one of the hottest days of the year. It was a cool retreat from the heat of the day and we enjoyed two good nights' sleep. There was a very spacious and easy to use shower. Although we didn't use the garden it was a quiet sanctuary. We appreciated the on-site parking.
The loo and wash hand basin were rather small, possibly to accommodate the excellent shower

Location was good, close to the town but far enough away to not be in the town. The access was private and secure and the room was very clean and private.
There wasn't a place to park as one guest was allowed to park across two spaces. We had booked a room only bed but hadn't realised and the in room paperwork suggested that we could do to the dining room for breakfast but this wasn't the case. This wasn't the owner's fault, but the confusion might have been avoided if the paperwork said breakfast was only available if you had previously booked it. Many guest houses offer room only but breakfast can still be added on the day. Other than this our stay was great.
