just outside London. The Hotel features 100 well appointed en-suite bedrooms, a Restaurant, Coffee Bar and Function Facilities and free car park. Just 2 miles to Central Croydon and only 7 miles to the Center of London, the Norfolk House Hotel is the ideal venue for business and pleasure.
price. Upon your arrival you will immediately recognise that the hotel is spacious, welcoming, and well decorated. Once you have checked into your room at Norfolk House Hotel you will be able to head to the coffee bar for a coffee and a light snack. In the mornings you will be served breakfast in the open and bright breakfast room which also doubles up as a restaurant in the evening.
Advantages: Breakfast was great when I got it Disadvantages: Location and lack of top quality service,
...Just over a week ago I was visiting London. As usual, I tend to look for hotel deals a little out of the centre of town as it usually works out much cheaper even when you've factored in the public transport costs (I don't drive.) I am a member of the Hilton Honors scheme - it is free to join and well worth it if you use hotels often as they do have regular special offers and you can earn Hilton points and frequent flyer miles at the same time. See website: http://hhonors.hilton.com - so I thought I would take a look to see what deals there might be.
I was pleasantly surprised to get an offer on the Croydon Hilton for £43.50 a night (Fri/Sat) including breakfast and dinner the first night. This worked out more than £20 cheaper than my usual choice of the Holiday Inn Express in Croydon. The Hilton Honors website is simple...

Advantages: Relative isolation from London & Home Counties Disadvantages: Equally relatively tedious journey to get there
...In view of the impending Suffolk review that I'm working on, I thought it only fair to make sure my Norfolk one was as up-to-date as possible, and I've taken this occasion to add in some of my favourite pictures.
Please note, this is not a travel guide to Norwich and Norfolk, just some demented jottings from me, a long-time visitor. You know how it is, whenever you go some place frequently, you always sideline things to see, waiting for the arrival of the mystical 'Round Tuit' (as in "I'll do that when I get a........")
I live in West London, and my In-Laws live in Norfolk – therefore I go there quite often. Speaking to other people in my neck of the woods reveals that hardly any of them have been there. This set me thinking why this is, when Norfolk is relatively close to London, well, in distance at least.

Advantages: Plenty to do and see Disadvantages: weather
...Norfolk in Genereal
There is so many things to do and see in Norfolk I have only just highlighted just a few.
Oxburgh Hall is in Norfolk and it belongs to the Bedingfeld Family since 1446.
The National Trust oversees the property.
I visited this several years ago but can recall that this was a fine Medieval Country House.
The first thing which I can recall is when you approach Oxburgh Hall you will find that it is surrounded by water.
Sir Edmund Bedingfeld was the first owner and the house had many Royal connections. King Edward 1V gave permission for the house to be built in the first place.
The only part which remains the same since 1482 is the Gatehouse. The was a drawbridge over the moat but in 1710 it was dismantled and the bridge was built which is what anyone who visits there now will walk over when...

Currently under-going extensive refurbishment, as the hotel rebrands to a JW Marriott.
I have not stayed at the hotel for over 2 years, but the one thing the Grosvenor House has always prided itself on is an extremely high standard of service and a... more
