Melody House Bed and Breakfast

Lovely big room, bed & bathroom, big, fluffy towels & plenty of toiletries. Enjoyable breakfast where we we got to chat with our host Audrey who was quite a character. The whole establishment is quirky and is filled with loads of memorabilia.

We stayed for 14 nights over the Christmas and New Year holiday. We had a fabulous and unique experience at Melody House. Audrey and her son, Christopher, were excellent hosts, and made us feel very welcome from the start. With no unnecessary fuss or silly rules, they felt like our new friends. Our room was tastefully decorated in a vintage style with modern facilities; spotlessly clean and warm; ours had a jacuzzi and a very comfortable bed and bedding. The small fridge in our room was very useful. Our breakfasts were perfectly cooked by Audrey and the choices were many. We ate at traditionally dressed tables with proper china crockery and teapot. This was 5 star service. Looking around the dining room and lounge area, there are hundreds of artefacts collected by Audrey and her family over many years. In itself, a collective history of her own colourful life but also an insight into the beautiful county of Norfolk, of which Audrey and son Christopher are true ambassadors. We have no hesitation in recommending Melody House to those who respect quality service in a unique setting.

Stayed here for 1 night to watch the Thursford Christmas show. I booked 3 rooms for my family. We all slept really well, beds are comfortable and accommodation is in a peaceful location. Rooms come with toiletries, slippers & even ear buds, cotton wool pads for your make up. A real homely experience. Came back from evening show and enjoyed a night cap from the bar before going to our rooms. Enjoyed fresh fruit from cut glass dishes & a good quality full English breakfast served on fine bone china crockery. A real step back to the 1940s. Thank you for your kind hospitality.

Lovely, homely, quirky private residential b&b. Exceptionally good breakfast served in 1940’s ambience. Full of charm. Very comfortable rooms with high standards throughout. Quiet location. Went to the Cromer Pier Summer show which was amazing entertainment

Delightful stay in every way: the welcome, the room, the facilities, the extra touches, the food (great breakfast), the atmosphere (lots of family memorabilia), the location, the wi-fi, the parking. The village is interesting too, with plenty of walks.

So was not the welcome we had foreseen , rather abrupt rude lady answered the door . I’ve been waiting for you I’ve got a prescription to collect from the chemist , rather taken back we commented well on a previous call we had stated it would be after 2.00 pm . Then we were told the booking is only for 1 adult ? So we bought the booking up on my phone where it clearly stated 2 adults , the proprietor then said she will phone her son who is out all day , she returned to us explaining it was a mistake on the guest house side . The parking is down a narrow road by the side of the chip shop you cannot view your car parked from the guest house . Anyway we were then taken to room 3 , nice en-suite , pleasant decor , milk in fridge for tea and coffee , no use by date on it , no label could it be skimmed / semi / or ?? . The bed in this room is very very low to the floor , if you are of senior age this is not practical at all. Light bulb on one of the wall lamps blown , needs replacing . Breakfast was excellent, if you would like to return to pre war era this is the place to stay , not modern old fashioned , 1940s music playing at breakfast . Very cluttered with ornaments etc . Noticed by front door loads of clean laundry bags that had been delivered but not packed away left at guest house entrance . Won’t be returning.
