Caistor Hall

Ver

Very disappointing that the restaurant was closed and was not informed at the time of booking. Email notification just before stay advised of closure in previous month. On arrival there were marketing banners detailing new restaurant now open. It wasn’t. Hotel is nice but needs some love and upgrading to cosmetic appearance.

Stayed here before and will be staying again for sure! Great place with really friendly staff.

It's the people (for me) that make a place. Don't get me wrong, the location, and Caistor Hall itself are both great, but the service we received made this an exceptional experience. We felt right at home, it's posh but without airs & graces, perfect. Michelle was just lovely, so friendly and helpful, knew the property, it's history, and spoke very highly of the owners (important that the leadership of a place like Caistor Hall is right). I think this hotel is a fantastic place for an event, a weekend stay or dinner at the Michelin star restaurant (we didn't on this occasion but if I can get a booking it's on the cards). Massive thanks to all the staff there, made us feel very welcome and we had a lovely stay. 🙏😎🙏 Our room was good, bed was very comfy and we slept well. Breakfast, which was included, was of a very high standard, plenty of options for all tastes. The grounds were amazing (the stunning weather helped!), we would go back in a heartbeat, really loved it here. WiFi is available, plenty of parking, 10 ish minutes from the heart of Norwich.

Developing hall, a bit hit and miss but full of old charm !

Lovely room and the food was amazing

Beautiful setting. It was another very warm day but there are plenty of shady spots on the terrace where you can sit with a cool drink and enjoy the very spacious gardens. It’s a small hotel which gives it its own intimate vibe. The rooms are nicely decorated. We had a standard room which had a four poster bed. It’s an old building so the floor was a little uneven. Not a problem once you realise you don’t have vertigo! The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was lovely with a very comfortable mattress and lovely fluffy pillows. It was a very hot day and the fan in the room didn’t really move the air much, be we came prepared with our own so we were able to be comfortable. We dined in Mark Poynton’s newly awarded Michelin Star restaurant. The food and flight of wines were divine and the staff were very knowledgeable, attentive but not intrusive. They worked hard but very clearly enjoying themselves.

We had a pleasant stay for one night at Caistor Hall. Staff were very friendly, Grounds were lovely and dinner was decent. Breakfast was tasty and good choice for a vegetarian. Room had creaky floorboards and a little too warm and bathroom was very small, shower started to drip water at 3am for about a minute which woke me up and I had trouble getting back to sleep but overall it was a very nice stay and I would return.

The room was great, lovely quiet location and staff were very helpful. Having the suite was a real treat although a shelf or platform by the freestanding bath and extra toiletries would have been nice. The property is ideal for an exclusive break but looking a bit tired in places, they could make much more of the gardens, which looked rather unkept, but perhaps the time of year was a factor. Unfortunately the fine dining options were not available, which for a bank holiday weekend was dissappointing. Still had a lovely stay and would recommend

We stayed at Caistor Hall as we were going to a wedding reception nearby. We received a warm welcome when we checked in. The room itself was very large with a good modern bathroom, although to get the shower at a reasonable temperature was a work of art - you need to be patient that the hot water will eventually come! The decor is a little old fashioned but in keeping with the building. Breakfast, included in the room rate, was excellent with a good choice available. We would definitely stay here again if we needed a hotel close to Norwich.

Slightly understaffed we thought. Staff were very pleasant and exceptionally well trained in service and knowledge of menu’s. Breakfast was cooked to order which is always a good sign. Some areas, like windows, were dirty, but hotel was clean. Main areas were well decorated. Bedrooms less so with signs of wear and tear.

Lovely place, a rural retreat, but close to Norwich and the A47. Excellent staff and service. Very good food and we didn't have time to be more adventurous, but I'll be back! Competitive price too!

Really nice place to stay. We never had dinner there (attended a party elsewhere), but wish we had! Breakfast was excellent, served by a lovely lady, who was very friendly, & after I enquired, told us the history of the house. Would certainly stay again!!

Beautiful hotel, amazing room, breakfast disapponting

We wanted to treat ourselves, and we were not disappointed at all. All the staff were friendly and helpful. From the very friendly and kind, member of staff at reception, ( I apologise if you were a manager ) who even though we were an hour early for booking in, and we said we would have a coffee first, ran upstairs to check out room was ready. Thank you. We loved afternoon tea, beautiful food, coffee, atmosphere and service from the young waiter. Thank you, you made our visit amazing. Our room was beautiful and spacious, soooo comfy, the bed was the best I had slept in and chilled out on. Sooooo peaceful. The rainfall shower was the best shower I have ever had, I love a rainfall shower and this had the pressure and range of temperatures too. Sooo refreshed from that shower. The breakfast and service was as good too. Thank you for a memorable experience, we will be back again. Beautiful scenery around too.

Beautiful hotel and grounds, and great clean bedroom with en-suite. Staff we met at reception and at breakfast were amazing. The breakfast itself was superb too. Bed, though, could have been more comfortable and TV better placed. Overall though a really great place to stay and highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel; great food; nice bar; perfect

A really enjoyable stay

I really wish we were told beforehand that there was a Wedding on the night of our stay. Although it did not disturb us too much, it would have been nice to have been forewarned, to give us the choice of staying or not. Otherwise was lovely apart from the waiting staff forgetting my brown toast at Breakfast

I recently stayed at Caistor Hall Hotel, and unfortunately, it was an incredibly disappointing experience from start to finish. First, the so-called “deluxe” room we were assigned was anything but deluxe. The room was dusty, fixtures were falling off the walls, and the bed creaked loudly with even the slightest movement. The walls were marked, giving the entire space a feeling of neglect. After raising these concerns with the staff, we were offered an upgrade to their “best” room, the Dashwood Suite. While this room was in better condition, it still failed to meet the standard one would expect, particularly given the price and expectations associated with staying at this hotel. On top of the room issues, the service was just as poor. When we requested assistance with booking a taxi, we were told to handle it ourselves because the staff were “too busy.” Later, it was explained to us that this is a policy, but it was never communicated to us during our stay, adding to the frustration. Although some of the staff tried to address our concerns, the management’s attitude was dismissive and unprofessional. When I followed up via email, I was met with a defensive response that ignored many of the core issues, including the substandard room conditions and lack of communication. All in all, I would not recommend staying at Caistor Hall Hotel. The poor quality of both the facilities and the service, coupled with a lack of accountability from management, left us with a very negative
