Washingford House
Cookes Road, Bergh Apton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15 1AA, England, Norfolk, East of England
Country house B&B near the Norfolk Broads
Six miles southeast of Norwich, Washingford House B&B has three bedrooms for guests. Two are twins or large double rooms and there is also a single bedroom.
Washingford House is originally Tudor with Victorian and Georgian additions. It’s the friendliest of places to stay and Paris will immediately make you welcome with tea/coffee on arrival and something home-made. – hopefully on the terrace. It stands in a four acre garden and and Bergh Apton is a conservation village.
The double rooms (twin or large doubles) are large and light-filled with plenty of good books. Paris even offers a “snoring chamber” for an extra £35! The single is cosy with an armchair and its own bathroom. One double is en-suite and the other has its own loo directly next door and a shower a bit further away. There are hospitality trays in all the rooms for you to help yourself to tea or coffee before you come down to breakfast.
Breakfast is in the sitting room with fresh fruit, yogurt, muesli, granola etc. This followed by Eggs Benedict, a Full English, Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs or Crushed Avocado on toast with Poached Eggs and Mushrooms. Also vegan/vegetarian and any special requests are catered for. There are plenty of good local pubs/restaurants in the area and if Paris and Nigel are out, she is happy to prepare dinner for you that can be easily heated up in the oven.

"It was such a treat to stay at this lovely house. The surroundings are gorgeous, the welcome is, without doubt, the warmest and friendliest ever! Paris and Nigel look after their guests as if they are family and, as others have said, simply can’t do enough for you. The house is enormous with huge comfortably furnished guest rooms flooded with light and beautiful views of the lawns and tennis court. Breakfasts are delicious with all manner of fruit and cereals followed by ‘whatever you like’ cooked breakfast and the most divine coffee! Loved every minute of our stay at Washingford House and can’t praise it enough." Treezlondon, 2020Features
