What a lovely place to come to, the host Elizabeth was lovely. Cup of tea and ginger cake on arrival, and lovely breakfast every morning. Comfortable room and peaceful. There are some houses that you can just walk into and feel straight at home, kick off your shoes, and relax . This is one of those places. Thank you, Elizabeth, for all your kindness during my stay. I will return. 10/10

Sometimes you get lucky and strike gold. This was my experience of “The Dower House” An impressive property set back from Station road in the centre of Great Ryburgh. Liz gave me a warm welcome and showed me to an immaculately presented en-suite room. Breakfast was agreed for 8.30. I have nothing but praise for the accommodation, the host and the lovely breakfast.
