About Elm Farm Country House
Elm Farm Country House keeps the character of a working farmhouse while functioning as a 14-room hotel on Norwich Road, just outside the city. The building's rural roots show through in details like the exposed brickwork in the restaurant, and the grounds retain a proper farmyard feel thanks to a pond populated by ducks, chickens and black swans.
Rooms are simple and unfussy rather than lavish, but they come with free WiFi and air conditioning, and the hotel is fitted with a lift for easier access. Guests can eat in the on-site restaurant, have a drink at the bar, and make use of the gym, spa and sauna. There's a garden to sit out in, meeting rooms and a wedding venue for events, plus concierge services and luggage storage for those passing through. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking is available.
The setting on Norwich Road puts the city and Norfolk's wider countryside and attractions within easy reach, making it a practical base for exploring the area. Breakfast is included, giving guests a straightforward start before heading out for the day.
What guests say
Elm Farm hosted our daughter’s wedding. We can’t fault any of the wonderful staff who made the day flow so exceptionally well. Special shout out to Jamie and to Jess, thank you both! The wedding breakfast was served with enthusiasm and the food was good quality. We had a few dietary requirements and these were all met. The dairy free cheesecake was divine! Cutlery and dinnerware were spotless and the tables were layed out perfectly. There was a good quality spread for the evening buffet too. The whole day was fun and relaxed and we made use of all the areas in the venue and the lovely quiet grounds. The rooms were average and yes they could do with a bit of updating but they were clean and the bedding was pristine white. Our family really enjoyed staying on site. Which brings me to breakfast…how amazing it all was, not a single complaint there! Thank you all once again for helping to make this a memorable day.

Very nice welcome and escorted to my room. Which was really big. Offered to carry my bag so great start. Room and bathroom very clean. Bed was huge and comfortable, soft pillows and duvet, room lovely and warm with thermostat control. Sadly bed was very squeaky and woke me each time I moved. Bath in main room was still not full after running taps for half hour (maybe a lot of demand from other rooms) and hairdryer didn’t work. Shower was lovely and hot with great flow. Shampoo and shower gel provided. Only complaint is shower sprays out onto bathroom floor making it really slippery. Fantastic location and lovely garden for summer. I won’t stay again because bed is too musical. But in comparison to other rooms in area it provided good value for money and staff were welcoming. Just replace hairdryer and put nonslip mat by shower, and turn volume down on bed squeaking and it will be perfect.

Spent the weekend with my boyfriend and we had the superior room. After reading reviews I was fairly hesitant on what to expect. When we got there the staff were lovely and attentive. First glance of the room it was very nice and looked clean, only down side of the room was the jacuzzi was not working and we had not been informed. The bathroom was very clean. I was definitely impressed. Would definitely stay here again.

Helpful, welcoming friendly staff. Good sized clean room, if a little dated. Unfortunately although it does have a restaurant it is currently closed as they don't have a chef, no breakfast either. The lack of breakfast is well hidden on their website. The restaurant closure should be highlighted. However, I was directed towards the excellent pub a few minutes walk down the road. I'm sure a few cereals and some toast could be provided in the morning.
