Oaklands Hotel

"Held staff party here for 75 people. Ran perfectly from start to finish. Food was excellent as were all the staff we encountered. Great venue, location perfect for Norwich based staff too. Thank you fir looking after us all."

"First we were put in one of the upper level apartments but the hot water wasn't hot at all so we enquired and we were offered a switch which was nice. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean, the under floor heating was lovely. The security light was very bright outside the bedroom though- bring an eye mask if you come to stay. The breakfast was a little bit of a let down, each meal looked nice enough, but there wasn't much flavour to any of it. Also it was very confusing because there is one set breakfast price included in the room but you're given a menu to order from and not a choice of if you want more than one dish or even more than one cup of coffee. Perhaps it needs to be more clear. The staff were nice and helpful. The towel rail heater thing was very nice, also lots of parking on site too."

"Went for a Christmas meal with about 30 ladies from a club I belong to. Food and service really good except having to wait a long time at the bar, although there was a lot of us!! Would definitely go again"

"We were given a room in what they call the annexe which is a house next to the grounds split up into private rooms with en-suite. It was like staying in student accommodation with a man in one of the neighbouring rooms (not a guest, an ex employee apparently ) making noise several times through the night talking loudly with his friends and coming in and out of front door of the house at all hours banging the door each time he came and went. I complained in the morning to the receptionist and later left a message for the Manager to call me but havent got back to me. Awful stay. Would not recommend. Area lovely so will stay somewhere else on our next visit"

"We stayed in a suite at the Oaklands and were very happy with the room in general. Nice big size, modern decor, comfy bed, extra pillows BUT and it is a big but, there was no fridge, but space for one, and no microwave. We both felt these simple additions would take the rooms to the next level. Also there was a small issue with the water. In the shower it randomly ran hot, cold, hot etc and when you filled the bath, the water did the same thing and you ended up with a lukewarm bath. As a small aside, the Oaklands does weddings and that's no problem except some of the guests feel it's appropriate to smoke marijuana in the suite halls. If this could be stopped, life would be much nicer for the guests. The staff were all courteous, helpful and attentive and the food was superb, fresh, local and supremely well cooked. Not pricey either. I recommend a comfortable stay here."
