The Experience

Silver tea and coffee pots and Portmeirion china, pictures and prints from far-flung places, and an unexpected peace in the centre of the city – welcome to Gothic House. The building is listed and Regency and your host, enthusiastic, charming, knows the history. As for breakfast, it is fresh, lavish and locally sourced; a full Norfolk, or kippers, scrambled eggs, avocado, cheese and croissants in the dining room.

The bedroom is full of character with flamboyant wallpaper, a very comfortable bed, tea and coffee to make for yourselves and views through the beautifully-shaped window. There’s a decent pub just along the road and you’re within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the cathedral with the second tallest spire in England.

Walk to a cinema or theatre, admire Georgian and even older architecture.

Reviews

Clive will look after you very well and there couldn't be an easier spot from which to explore all the intricacies of Norwich. The bedrooms are bright and spacious and the luxurious breakfast enough to set you up for the day!

Diana, Sawday's inspector Jul 2019

Glorious house, just so very beautiful. Clive is the perfect host, kind and welcoming, and he cooks the BEST breakfasts. Khmr the cat is a delightful co-host. Perfect spot, right at the heart of all the best little shops and streets of Norwich. Heaven!

Sarah, Bath Sep 2016

An immensely characterful and comfortable experience, in a house which is ideally located for exploring Norwich. First class breakfast, and interesting and knowledgeable hosts. Thoroughly recommended!

Michael, Bath Apr 2016

Very good welcome. Beautiful rooms and environment. Parking on site. Shower room warm. Breakfast as we liked them served with care. Host good at local information. Enough books for a stay of about a year. Friendly cat too. thanks Clive.

Joy, Thrapston Mar 2016

Utterly charming, wonderful attention to detail: fruit and sherry in bedrooms along with real coffee. Superb breakfast and run by a real character. Long may he do so!
