Barnham Broom - Norwich - Jan 2010

Barnham Broom is a golf/spa hotel set in the countryside outside of Norwich. On first impressions it's a non-descript modern conference type hotel building. The things that really stood out to us though, were the superb Flints restaurant, and the spa. The golf course was the main reason most were there and the hotel is focussed towards this area, although it wasn't the weather for my fair-weather golfing partner!
Breakfast was great with a continental buffet and order your own cooked breakfast. The service was perfect. Dinner in the restaurant was first class, with an interesting and varied menu.

The spa was up to the high standards of many spa hotels with prices to match! Definitely need to book in advance here.

Our only gripe was the bed in our room which was very soft and lumpy and incredibly uncomfortable. We may have just been unlucky with the room we had, though we wished we had noticed this earlier in the day, rather than in the middle of the night, so we could have asked for another room. We only stayed one night here.
