My family and I found The Old Bakery suitable for our accommodation needs, the ground floor bedroom was ideal for my 92 year old Mother. A very relaxing comfortable property set a pretty Norfolk village, with a convenient little shop and 2 pubs. The Crown has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Old Bakery is in a good location to reach many of Norfolks villages, towns and coastal areas. Norwich is well worth a visit.I would recommend The Old Bakery.
