The hotel was old fashioned but lovely and clean. Our room was very cosy and overlooked the river. Lovely bar and very attentive staff. Excellent breakfast. Only 5 mins by car to Fakenham golf course and horse racecourse.

Very run down and in need of modernising. Very small rooms cluttered with furniture some of which could not be used because of other furniture stopping the drawers being opened. One breakfast was far from good and we had to ask for HOT tea and coffee. We waited nearly 15 mins for coast one slice of which was only done on one side.

The hotel while in need of renovation has some redeeming features. The service quality is outstanding, on par with any hotel I have ever stayed in. The food quality albeit being published grub style was well cooked and inexpensive. The breakfast has to be the one of the best ever, great variety and superbly cooked. Would recommend friends and family.

Nice Hotel
My wife and I decided to stay at Wensum Lodge Hotel as it was our 1st time looking around Fakenham. The staff were excellent, and the food was lovely and good value for money. The cooked breakfast in the morning was superb!! Our only negative would be the mattress on the bed but overall it was a very pleasant experience. 9/10

We chose this hotel as it was close to racecourse (10 minute walk). Our room was comfortable and bathroom was clean but could do with some updating. Food is of a good standard and plentiful. We would stay again if in Fakenham.
