The staff and the atmosphere were immediately welcoming at Kings Hear. I was unexpectedly in the area due to a family bereavement and hadn’t booked before turning up; they were more than accommodating. Bedroom 1, en suite, was lovely with all necessary amenities. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. I ate in the restaurant and my burger came out a bit too pink for my liking; it wasn’t any bother for them to rectify this by doing me a whole new one! Which I was very grateful for. When I got to my room, after a long and emotional day, the tv wasn’t working (the rooms are newly renovated with new tvs)….a member of staff and a guy (who I presume is a local to the pub) spent some time sorting this out and I was then able to settle….with a complimentary glass of wine for the trouble….and with their efforts being much appreciated. The pub/hotel is in a beautiful spot….right on the broads. Whilst I didn’t have time to enjoy or fully appreciate this, I would have really liked to have walked locally.

The rooms are not sound proofed and the windows appear single glazed - you can hear the bar/restaurant, people outside the pub, other guests on the landing etc, quite clearly. This didn’t actually bother me at all but some people might not like this. Also not all rooms are en suite - again this didn’t bother me as I had an en suite room….but I don’t think I’d have felt as comfortable with room only and no private bathroom. Again, this is personal taste and preference.

excellent find. really great staff. great food and in the summer there's even an outside bar/coffee house. Right next to the river where there is also another pub so you can sit right on the water and have a great afternoon..... Its only about 8 miles away from Norwich city - so it was about 15 mins to get there

This place gets really busy even when its not sunny in terms of parking as people use the car park for walking,fishing ,boating etc so bare that in mind. Well appointed rooms throughout. Some are right on the road side but my colleague said his room was fine. Mine overlooked the car park so it was a bit quieter. Will definitely stay here in future visits

From the minute i checked in to the minute i left it was fantastic, all because of the staff that worked there. friendly, helpful, polite, attentive. the evening meal was great, the atmosphere in the pub was great. the breakfast was fantastic, the staff were so polite and added to my stay, although the breakfast starts at 8am, but it was worth waiting and relaxing longer. great place, great people.Perfect.

Nothing, If breakfast was served at 7am, would of been even better. but there is nothing wrong with this place.

Beautiful location, welcoming friendly staff Great food Sea bass was perfect, sticky toffee pudding..wow ! Breakfast fantastic! Good selection of spirits and drinks, but a bit pricey.. They had Hawkstone, Clarkson's Lager on draught, very nice, but £7.50 a pint !

Difficulty parking, as there is another pub and there were lots of cars for river activities, which is apparently a regular occurrence in good weather!

I stayed for 2 nights.The room and en-suit were extremely clean, and the bathroom was large and a lovely surprise (room 1). I wasn't expecting much as rated 3 star, but I was pleasantly surprised.. Although the building was old and the floors were creaky and a bit uneven, the facilities were well maintained. I was a bit dubious the 1st night i arrived at 20.30, It was pitch black, and the pub and restaurant were closed to the point I'd wondered if it was the right place! I had to seek help from the pub next door to get in contact with someone to let me in, that took longer than it should of done, all in all it took an hour waiting around in the cold for someone to let me in, when someone did come it was an awkward exchange and I was told he would be locking up after me. I would have liked to have gone next door relaxed and had a pint. But I felt like this would have been an inconvenience. 2130hrs is a bit early to be locked up. The 2nd night, I arrived back from a day out. Out from 7.30am -5pm, and it was a completely different atmosphere, weĺl lit, warm open fire, beautiful bar, and restaurant with a few revellers sat around laughing and joking, dog friendly. I had an out of this world meal, Lime infused Beer batter Haddock bueatifully presented sat on a track of triple cooked crispy well seasoned thick chips with 3 generous helpings of potted tartar sauce, curry sauce and mint infused mushy peas. I asked for additional bread and butter and was given a bread board of sourdough slices with plenty of butter. I also had a stunning sour cherry and apple crumble and custard for dessert. It was scrumptious, but I couldn't finish it due to the food induced coma that was fast kicking in!!! In 2 days, I saw 2 members of staff, the guy who let me in, and the very polite and accommodating lady that was working the bar and served my meal all in all a high-end rating of the 3 star for accommodation but the food from my experience was high end 4 if not a 5...

All of the food is hand cooked and everything we had was really nice. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Owners have made a wonderful facility for hospitality, accommodation, facility, events and the local population as well as visitors which are made to feel at home as soon as you walk in the grade 2 listed property. So much history and warm feel about the place…..

Cant think of any issues…..well done owners and staff who clearly all work so well together

The staff were so welcoming, the food was delicious, the cooked breakfast in the morning was fabulous with all quality ingredients. The staff were so accommodating. It was a lovely comfortable triple room, with everything you needed.

Everything was perfect. The tiniest suggestion is a plug socket and little bedside table or shelf next to the single bed, but this is not an issue at all.

Lovely location for a quiet time. Nice pub. We were getting a boat the next day so this was perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay.

Room was quite small if you were going to stay for a longer period. We had a room where the front door opened right onto a courtyard and it might be noisy if you wanted an early night and pub was busy. We wanted to watch the football and had to go to Wroxham, which is definitely a taxi ride both ways.

Lovely pub in a really pretty location. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely evening meal and also a fabulous breakfast the next morning. The room was small but perfectly ok for one night, we would stay again.

The car park gets very full as its open to walkers / public so that could be a bit tricky at times.

The bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was a decent size. The meals, breakfast, and dinner, that we had at the restaurant were particularly good.

There was no storage i.e. cupboards for clothing, which would have made getting clothes out from our suitcases a bit easier.
