Maids Head Hotel
Tombland, opposite Norwich Cathedral · Hotel
One of England's oldest hotels, trading on the same Tombland site for over 800 years, right opposite the cathedral gates.
About Maids Head Hotel
The Maids Head has stood on this corner of Tombland, opposite the cathedral's Erpingham Gate, for more than eight hundred years, and parts of the current building date back to the fifteenth century, with a Tudor courtroom and a minstrels' gallery still forming part of the hotel.
Bedrooms range from smaller, traditionally furnished rooms in the older wings to larger contemporary rooms in a more recent extension, so it is worth checking the room type when booking if a particular style matters. Public rooms include a wood-panelled bar and a restaurant serving modern British food built around Norfolk ingredients.
Its location could not be more central for sightseeing, with Elm Hill, the cathedral close and the river all within a few minutes' walk, making it a natural first choice for visitors who want to be inside the historic core of the city.
