The rooms were clean, the breakfast and service was excellent and the location and garden were perfect. Our hosts, Mark, Julie and Eloise never tired of answering our many questions. They provided a stress free environment for what could have been a very stressful week. They were very helpful and we considered the Norwood home base while we settled her in.

I spent three weeks at the Norwood and thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the B&B. Breakfast each morning was great and my room was quite nice and spacious as well.

Well organised and atmospheric pub restaurant with well kept gardens and room to eat outside on a good day. Series of small rooms so good for private dining but I suspect can get busy. Menu is varied with good choices and daily specials Food is good in both quality and quantity. Service is friendly, efficient and helpful. Good value lunches and one hour turnaround business lunches although this is the sort of place where its best to stay a while! Lots of football photos.

After a £3.5m refurbishment in 2008, the hotel is now one of the best in the local area.
