“The Marlborough's location places you within easy reach of Norwich's historic attractions, including the cathedral and castle, and the bustling Riverside entertainment area. As a family-run establishment housed in a characterful building, there's an appealing personal touch. I particularly appreciate the commitment to locally sourced ingredients for their cooked-to-order full English breakfast.”

mixed feelings about the stay

bathroom sensorcheap bread
I must say , the room felt a bit tired. the bathroom light was on a sensor , a real treat when it decided to go off mid-shower. the breakfast was also a bit of a letdown . Cheap bread and instant coffee is hardly a continental experience , is it ?
