ROOMS AT THE RAM
Stay, Relax & Unwind with Us
Our heritage double rooms, one with a classic four-poster bed, have the historic features of the hotel and are located at the front of the hotel. All fitted with secondary double glazing.
Our garden double rooms are placed away from the front and are more modern in design and face over the garden with views of open fields. Our standard double rooms are slightly smaller than our garden doubles and feature eaves – so watch your head!
Families and groups are welcome at The Ram in one of our two multi-level family rooms ideal for longer stays and larger groups.
Room one features two full size singles and a kingsize bed. It is themed to reflect the contribution of the USAAF in the Norfolk airbases during the WWII. Ideal for an older family or friends travelling together.
Room two features a main bedroom and bunk-beds in a secret little space. There is a seating area, board games and table.
A cot can be provided by pre-arrangement, we have a children’s menu and a small library of DVDs, board games and books for guest to use – you’ll even find a comfy chair to sit and read in, in our ‘Hayloft’.
Please note we cannot fit stairgates so maybe unsuitable for very young toddlers.
Enjoy 25% off a Sunday night with our ‘Sit Back Sunday’. Everything is just a bit earlier as we serve roasts until 4pm and our bar menu till 6.30pm. The bar stays open until 8pm so there is still time to enjoy a book or a game of backgammon. Breakfast is included. Only available via our website or by phone.

ACCESSIBILITY AT THE RAM
Facilities for all
We also understand that not all disabilities are visible. So please talk to us when booking so that we can accommodate you accordingly. Maybe a quiet table for those with sensory issues or dementia, a larger print menu or indeed allowing our chefs to carefully present food either cut for you or separated for those where touching food is triggering. We want you to tell us how we can best make your visit to us a comfortable and inclusive visit for everyone in your party.
To be clear all our bedrooms are on the first floor without a lift and all our rooms have an over bath shower – not walk in
