Top place. Small, clean, efficient etc etc. The important things are the folk who run it and the amazing food they make. Family joint with a really friendly atmosphere. Nothing is too much. The pub is popular with all ages, and at weekends the restaurant bursts, but go mid week when it's empty and just as good. Breakfast is probably... More

I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. We stayed for two nights having travelled there in extremely cold and damp weather to find a beautifully warm room with all the attentive details that one could wish to find in a good class hotel room. The owner, who was the excellent chef and gregarious quiz master, and his staff were welcoming... More

Our extended family stayed for 5 nights because of a family event in Caston nearby and enjoyed the entire experience, particularly breakfast and lunch. Duncan and Mandy who manage the hotel just could not do more. Accommodating beyond words! Coming from the US and not knowing our way around, it was an absolute pleasure to have the proprietors give us... More

We booked a table in the restaurant for 10 people to celebrate my 40th Birthday, and what a fantastic night we all had! Everybody was made very welcome from the minute we arrived. All the staff were efficient, friendly, helpful and polite, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was 10 out of 10! We all had... More

We stayed at the Willow House with friends for an overnight break and evening meal. We checked in at the bar to a warm welcome and were shown our rooms in a separate bungalow like group behind the main building. We were told that these had been recently refurbished. Our room was freezing cold, there were damp/water stains on the... More

All we can say to this guest is a further apology. We were aware of the dampness of the walls, this problem had already been rectified, but we are awaiting for the walls to dry out thoroughly before remedial redecoration. Thanks to the guest’s report, it came to light that there had been a leak behind the ceiling that evening,... More

Very disappointed with the main steak meals, that were pre-ordered to make life easier for the person who cooked the food, 8 of the steak meals were supposed to be rib-eye steak, but resembled a piece of charred leather, unable to cut and even harder to chew and digest!!. When complaints were made the Chef/Manager refused to personally acknowledge our... More

The party had ordered 6 of the 8 steaks well done, as might be appreciated the more a steak is cooked, the drier and tougher it will become. All our steaks are extra-mature, brought to room temp before cooking and rested for at least 5 minutes after removal from the griddle. The party were 'checked' 5 mins into their main... More

After a disappointing stay at the H&B in Watton, some locals recommended the Willow House. We played safe and went with the bar menu and were astounded by the quality of the food including a burger that was world class, then the most feared task on Masterchef, the dreaded chocolate fondant, crisp outside and soft inside. This takes no less... More

An exceptional meal. Great value for money and the staff were so helpful as we were late and the kitchen had closed. Great Ales and guests, accommodation too. We will definitely be returning customers. More
