The hotel was very cosy. Well cleaned rooms, friendly staff. Food was very good. Breakfast portion was too big of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, 2 small slices of sourdough would have been perfect! Maybe a juice aswell as the coffee would have been nice instead of that third slice. Free water was also very good and free parking on site. The dinner vegan burger was the yummiest veggie burger I had ever had and was very good value for money, freshly made and tasted incredible, bursting with scrumptious flavours, fresh avacado, chipotle!
The noise of the fans outside. hence I imagine the ear plugs given free :(

Only a very small criticism...the reception area was very dark when I checked in. It was difficult to see what I was signing. More light could help.
See above.

Beautiful hotel with a lovely comfy bed.
The room was a great size and very comfortable.
It smelled absolutely beautiful.
I only stayed a night, but there were plenty of wardrobe and drawer space if you were staying longer.
I had breakfast included and it was delicious.
I'm vegan and I had plenty of options for both dinner and breakfast.
Staff were very friendly and attentive.
I was a single guest, but two chairs in the room would be good if you were staying as a couple.
A mini fridge to keep water cold would be fab.
The bin on the en suite was rusty.

We stumbled upon this fabulous hotel whilst looking for somewhere to stay between two work locations, and what a find! From the decor, the food, rooms & Staff, it oozes style & ambience. SO much so, that we’ve now stayed here a couple of times, and will continue to do so in the future. Can highly recommend.
Nothing!

Staff were fantastic, as was the breakfast. Bed was comfortable.
Room was quite small and was like a sauna (literally!). Sooo hot! The staff very kindly tried to turn off the radiator for us, but we had to have the air-con on most of the night (massive waste of energy).

The staff were excellent and friendly. Jodie did a good job of keeping my elderly father entertained at all times, lovely attitude too.
Lots of stairs so tricky for older people.

Perfect location
Great breakfast
The restaurant was stunning.
Room was nice
Facilities very good
Staff excellent
The room was very hot. In the middle of December you don’t expect to have the windows open. It was therefore quite noisy. Outside noise and noise from restaurant.
Also Frustrating to know there were nicer quiet rooms available(for same price).

This is the 2nd visit to J.D Young, only this time I booked 3 rooms as I had colleagues with me. My room (No.1) was huge and tastefully decorated, with a large comfortable bed where I managed to sleep for a full 8 hours. The bar and restaurant was excellent, where we ate far more than we should because the food is so nice.
If I wanted to be really picky, I would say my poached eggs at breakfast were a little underdone, but in all honesty, having had such a large meal the night before, it wasn't an issue.

Excellent Location for a short break to explore South Norfolk. Hotel facilities were excellent and a Friendly and Professional staff made it enjoyable couple of days.
A longer lead on the Hair Dryer to allow use of a mirror

The food was amazing, as always. The staff were very accommodating for dietary needs. The room was very nice, big and clean. The blinds on the windows were really good at keeping daylight out.
The bed wasn’t as comfortable as we would have liked, but we appreciate this is personal choice.

Very tastefully decorated hotel. Very comfortable rooms. Excellent breakfast.
The menu in the restaurant was the same 'bar food' as the bar. For such a nice restaurant, it would have been nice to have an elevated menu.

The breakfast was adequate with good quality food.
Staff were first class helpful, sincere, and most diligent.
Hotel in a very good location.
Rooms immaculately kept.
Wider choice at breakfast i.e. cereals and additional hot drinks.
Better sound proofing would be good.

We found the property the perfect location , for our search in the local area . The staff were extremely helpful , friendly and efficient. The food menu was extensive and we dined there both nights of our stay . The food was delicious and the restaurant staff extremely professional . If in future we return to the area, will hopefully be able to arrange our stay with JD young .

This is a really well kept hotel right on the market square in the bustling town of Harleston. My bike - we were touring - was safely locked up overnight in the office, and my room was spacious, well-appointed and the bed very comfortable. The window is double glazed and I wasn't troubled by traffic noise, in fact it was very quiet indeed. We had a very good dinner in the characterful restaurant downstairs and a perfectly decent breakfast the next morning. All in all, highly recommended.
Breakfast coffee was a little weak

The staff were very helpful and accommodating.
Disappointed with our original room in the attic having to climb two sets of narrow stairs which was a daunting prospect for two 86 year olds. Would like to thank your waitress Lara or Tara who listened to our complaint and obviously brought it to the attention of the management and we were moved to a more convenient room.

Good room comfortable bed. Fan was welcomed. Nice sized bathroom with a bath. Staff all young girls were excellent helpful and friendly. Well cooked breakfast.
Small car park/parking spaces.
Prefer help yourself breakfast. Mainly hot choices only. Croissant was really awful. Hard and tough.
Corridors have no natural light so a light comes on as you walk. The lights were a bit late so you walked into darkness. Didn’t like that.
Sink in bathroom too small, glass shelf above didn’t help. Water went everywhere when cleaning teeth/washing face.
Above a bar which got quite raucous in the evening. People enjoying themselves but a bit noisy.

The room was clean and well appointed with a decent sized tv. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was of reasonable quality.
I asked for an iron but sadly it was just a normal iron and had burn marks from previous use.
Thankfully I have my own in the car for emergencies so used that.

The hotel is very nicely appointed: really punches above its weight. The staff are engaged and engaging, which makes interaction pleasant and fulfilling. The menu in the restaurant is fairly pub-grub, but they do it well, and it's tasty. The (inclusive) breakfast is as good a cooked breakfast as I've had this year. The room and the en suite were both very clean and in excellent repair.
The place is a busy pub as well as an inn, so was playing loud music outside my window until 11.30pm. But when I went and asked, they did turn it off! And charging for a second cup of coffee at breakfast does raise an eyebrow.

Good food at dinner and also breakfast. The staff were as accommodating as possible on our arrival. Room was clean and very modern in its decor
Room was quite noisy especially at 5.00 in the morning. I would suggest a slight improvement to the breakfast could be a self serve buffet for cereals and juices perhaps
