A wonderful oasis, perfect getaway we won’t go anywhere else Ness is brilliant at making you feel at home
The perfect base to work from, and theres no way I'd be able to achieve what I did if it wasn't for the very comfortable and homely flat. Some people might struggle with the bathroom, but having both a bath and walk in shower really helped me, and my big powerchair could get around the whole flat. The couple who own it are super friendly and helpful, with nothing being a bother and again this really helped it being a stress free and relaxing process. Oh and having a projector with screen that comes down from the ceiling at a touch of a button is super cool I'll definitely be booking again when I come back.
Truly a hidden gem which exceeded expectations. I always read reviews before I book a hotel or restaurant and I was concerned about a couple I read, but thankfully I ignored them and I was not disappointed. The Red Room is theatrically decorated, in keeping with the era of the building, preserving many original features and having had other features restored tastefully. The staff in all areas went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure a warm welcome. The restaurant experience was beyond expectations. The local produce menu did not disappoint. Presentation was delightful and the service well delivered. This hotel sits down a small lane behind the market place but you hear nothing from the road, houses or nearby shops. The Red Room has an open fire which was prepared ready to light, which we did after dinner and it looked incredible. Highly recommended and excellent value for money.
A party of 4 (3 cyclists and 1 driver ) really enjoyed our stay. Lovely, individual rooms. Great attention to detail but very relaxed and informal at the same time.
‘A Hidden Gem In Swaffham’ This is a charming boutique hotel with lots of emphasis on the local area and history. We have family in Swaffham and always choose to stay at Strattons. This is a family run business and the owners (Les and Vanessa) are such lovely people and they are always amenable to our requests. We always book directly with the hotel, as we find this more personable and we can discuss the room types available, so we know we are booking the room that is perfect for us as a family. We also like to book directly with the hotel, as we are aware of the hefty commission these small businesses have to pay to booking sites, each time a reservation is made through one. This is a beautiful family run hotel. We have had a wonderful stay this week and we will certainly be back!
Found the hotel on the Tesla website. Very pleasant stay at Stratton's in the town of Swaffham, with plenty to see and do within a shortish drive. Very friendly helpful staff. Good directions given, including getting in through the narrow lane between the buildings. Fast efficient reception, and even had a reserved parking space to use the Tesla Destination charger - above and beyond. If our room was anything to go by, the rooms are 'quirky' and all the more charming because of it, reflecting the history of the hotel. Superb breakfast and dinner in CoCoes restaurant - can't be sure, but this may well be the best restaurant for miles, proudly using fresh local ingredients. We'll come back for sure. Well done Stratton's, well done Tesla.
What a Beautiful place this is! I feel like 5 star isn't just enough for the quality of the place and the service offered throughout! I've just come back from staying with them for 2 nights and I can't wait to go back already! Thw whole place was full of beautiful interiors including the restaurant.. the staff were so welcoming, warm and friendly. The service was definitely too good! It's located in the middle of the town but set in the quiet place... immense peaceful 2 days from the city buzz and daily rush! Definitely going back in summer for a longer stay!
Lovely hotel with quality rooms. Lovely hosts who really look after you. Peaceful and tranquil with very nice grounds/gardens which really are delightful on a sunny day like today. I work away a lot so stay away a lot and this fantastic hotel is highly recommended. Matt.
