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.

Friendly staff, the breakfast was wonderful, a very picturesque place to spend a few nights.

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.

WONDERFUL place. Perfect venue. Location excellent for where we needed to be. Lovely friendly people who couldn't do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble. The place had a lovely warm feeling about it, lots to look at in the dining area and around the place, everything had been thought out so well. WONDERFUL.

This is traditional real Norfolk B&B hospitality with the emphasis on customer service. Audrey is a wealth of local knowledge (just listen and learn) and a really lovely person willing to share her life and learning, traits equally reflected in Chris, who fronts and hosts the house. Rooms are in keeping with the traditional theme of attention to detail with fresh milk in the fridge, cut glass tumblers and wine glasses and fluffy towels and slippers provided. Lovely warm wood burner in snug and a wonderful historic and well preserved building. Ideal for Thursford Spectacular and North Norfolk coastline, and an ideal relaxing get away location for a break away from the hubbub of modern life, whatever time of year. We loved just talking with Audrey and Chris about life past and present. Lovely place, lovely breakfast, cooked fresh with local produce to order, proper coffee in cafetiere and scrambled eggs properly cooked, lovely people. 5+ out of 5 - but if you don't like bone China, fresh cloths, traditional decor and lovely people, go elsewhere and leave this gem for those of us who do - and who respect customer service and will return - time and again. Thank you Audrey and Chris, we had a lovely 71st birthday and Thursford experience with you - you made it fun and memorable for us - thank you, we will be back.

Great place to stay Very warm welcome, family business Felt like going to your nans house and feeling very at home
