Wonderful hotel, staff, service and food. Really would recommend to everyone. Quirky (and great) room decor. Good prices: especially the Sunday deal. Love the cats too! �

Went to Strattons for afternoon tea. It was quite busy and small inside so we sat outside in the beautiful grounds.

The food was wonderful and homemade as it should be. Best warm scones I have had in ages.

The tea and coffee kept coming and nothing was too much trouble.

The staff were very friendly and attentive.

Perfect afternoon for anniversary celebrations.

Well done vanessa and Less from many years ago I found your little gem. Working away from home it was a pleasure when I stayed with you. I'm sure I visited Norfolk more so I could stay longer. I remember just the 2 rooms been done cats, chickens and children running around. Standards were very high and service was very frendly too. Everytime I visited a little more work was done. Vanessa hand picking fresh food and Less was always choosing the wines! It's wonderful to see you in the national press. Wanted to call in at the weekend but we had a 30ft boat/trailer on the back and could not find anywhere to park! Next time eh xx

We hadn't been here since a few years (last time we came menu was more expensive 'pub grub') so were very pleasantly surprised by our experience and will certainly be back... regularly!



Mid-week restaurant was very quiet, somewhat laking in atmosphere but the food and service made up for it.



Although it is semi basement, restaurant is still very light. Table settings with linen table cloths & napkins, water brought to the table immediately as well as a bread basket and butter, delicious little round soft doughy rolls, we asked for more which they brought willingly.



Our chosen starters - ham hock (elegantly presented, generous portion size, good garnishes including homemade mayonnaise) and cured salmon (delicious but portion a little small, could have done with more caper & shallot buttermilk dressing).

Mains - we both had the lamb which was cooked to perfection, pink and succulent! I had mentioned that I don't like 'whole' anchovies if it was served this way (which it was), so mine was automatically brought without. Lovely contrast with textures by serving the lamb rump with a crispy croquette on a bed of diced spring green vegetables which included baby broad beans (whole of course!) and tiny charred onions.



Presentation of all dishes was beautiful, lovely colours, very appealing to the eye all delivered on taste with fresh seasonal flavours.



Typically if we have a dessert, we usually opt for cheese but on this occasion it was so good we wanted to try the sweet dessert. Ice chocolate torte and the frangipane tart served with a small shot glass of rich tart lemon posset which felt like an extra treat on the plate!



Wine menu is good and fairly priced. Service is not automatically added to the bill so when I did, our waitress seemed genuinely appreciative.



Only comments - please turn off the music, not needed and put candles on the tables / add ambient lighting as the overhead lighting was too bright.



Hats off to the chef!

We ate at Strattons last night and the food and service were great. A quirky hotel ( meant in the nicest way) We sat in the lounge for a pre and after dinner drink and we were amazed how peaceful it was. Strange I know but we have been on quite a few cruises and found the atmosphere to be similar to that of a speciality restraunt. We have also eaten breakfast at Cocos and found that also to be excellent. Again the service was excellent. We will eat in both the restraunt and at Cocos again.

Such a lovely little place. Had a gorgeous afternoon tea party for my partners 40th birthday party. The staff were fabulous from the very first phone call enquiry right through to the actual event. Food was delicious, would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be returning. Thank you xxx

My friend and I came for prosecco afternoon tea today and we had the most amazing time! Staff were friendly and welcoming, always on hand for more tea or sandwiches. Such a beautiful place! We will definitely be returning! Thank you all

Lovely setting will cater for coeliacs and vegetarians had a lovely afternoon tea with family

Lovely quirky rooms. Food fabulous - our dinner in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfasts in Cocoes were delicious, definitely five stars!

Lovely place, were on our first ever visit here on our 2nd night in the Fantouche Room, beautiful room and bathroom, staff are very polite and very helpful. Breakfast was lovely to. And the 2 cats are cute also. Great location with shops just a few minutes walk. Over all a lovely and friendly place, Marc & Lindsey

Lovely boutique hotel in the English countryside - the attention to detail this place offers is to be admired. Genuinely loved my stay and would 100% return in future. Wish I could have taken Bert home, what a funny little character! ��

Just been for afternoon tea, it was delicious, the best I've had in this area! Really friendly staff and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Just back from a lovely weekend in Norfolk, staying at the wonderful Stratton’s. Can’t recommend it enough, the food, the staff, the rooms, the rounds & of course the beautiful cats.

I love this place. Stratton's onsite cafe, Cocoes is great for an informal lunch with girl friends, the restaurant celebrates most milestones with our family and their award winning afternoon tea is responsible for the fact I am not a size zero.

Had the most stunning Afternoon Tea here yesterday! From appearance to taste, exceptional! � Staff are ever so friendly and welcoming! The building and outside was beautiful ! I had my 2 year old sister and 9 year old brother with my mum and I & they were made to feel welcome and we were offered extra sandwiches for them too - which was a very kind gesture; the afternoon tea for 2 was easily enough for 3 adults anyway � fantastic experience and will 100% be returning in the near future!! Highly highly recommended !! Lovely surprise for my Mum ��

Had a fantastic night here on Friday celebrating my birthday. They were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely and the service was great. Made my birthday a very memorable one for all the right reasons. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend.

Extremely attentive staff and incredibly baby friendly. My only criticism is that the high chairs did not have trays of their own, so we had to clear half the table of crockery/cutlery etc as our toddler was grabbing at it all during meal times (maybe our daughter is just extra mischievous!). The food was beautiful, though!

Excellent food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere as always.

After asking people for recommendations for the best place to go for afternoon tea, stratton's was mentioned a few times. Knowing swaffham quite well I didn't even know where it was. Today we came and celebrated a friends wedding anniversary. The four of us enjoyed afternoon tea with prosecco in the front garden. It was very good, thoroughly enjoyed by us all and will look forward to returning. lovely friendly staff �

The staff were very friendly and attentive.

Perfect afternoon for anniversary celebrations.

Well done vanessa and Less from many years ago I found your little gem. Working away from home it was a pleasure when I stayed with you. I'm sure I visited Norfolk more so I could stay longer. I remember just the 2 rooms been done cats, chickens and children running around. Standards were very high and service was very frendly too. Everytime I visited a little more work was done. Vanessa hand picking fresh food and Less was always choosing the wines! It's wonderful to see you in the national press. Wanted to call in at the weekend but we had a 30ft boat/trailer on the back and could not find anywhere to park! Next time eh xx

We hadn't been here since a few years (last time we came menu was more expensive 'pub grub') so were very pleasantly surprised by our experience and will certainly be back... regularly!



Mid-week restaurant was very quiet, somewhat laking in atmosphere but the food and service made up for it.



Although it is semi basement, restaurant is still very light. Table settings with linen table cloths & napkins, water brought to the table immediately as well as a bread basket and butter, delicious little round soft doughy rolls, we asked for more which they brought willingly.



Our chosen starters - ham hock (elegantly presented, generous portion size, good garnishes including homemade mayonnaise) and cured salmon (delicious but portion a little small, could have done with more caper & shallot buttermilk dressing).

Mains - we both had the lamb which was cooked to perfection, pink and succulent! I had mentioned that I don't like 'whole' anchovies if it was served this way (which it was), so mine was automatically brought without. Lovely contrast with textures by serving the lamb rump with a crispy croquette on a bed of diced spring green vegetables which included baby broad beans (whole of course!) and tiny charred onions.



Presentation of all dishes was beautiful, lovely colours, very appealing to the eye all delivered on taste with fresh seasonal flavours.



Typically if we have a dessert, we usually opt for cheese but on this occasion it was so good we wanted to try the sweet dessert. Ice chocolate torte and the frangipane tart served with a small shot glass of rich tart lemon posset which felt like an extra treat on the plate!



Wine menu is good and fairly priced. Service is not automatically added to the bill so when I did, our waitress seemed genuinely appreciative.



Only comments - please turn off the music, not needed and put candles on the tables / add ambient lighting as the overhead lighting was too bright.



Hats off to the chef!

We ate at Strattons last night and the food and service were great. A quirky hotel ( meant in the nicest way) We sat in the lounge for a pre and after dinner drink and we were amazed how peaceful it was. Strange I know but we have been on quite a few cruises and found the atmosphere to be similar to that of a speciality restraunt. We have also eaten breakfast at Cocos and found that also to be excellent. Again the service was excellent. We will eat in both the restraunt and at Cocos again.

Such a lovely little place. Had a gorgeous afternoon tea party for my partners 40th birthday party. The staff were fabulous from the very first phone call enquiry right through to the actual event. Food was delicious, would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be returning. Thank you xxx

My friend and I came for prosecco afternoon tea today and we had the most amazing time! Staff were friendly and welcoming, always on hand for more tea or sandwiches. Such a beautiful place! We will definitely be returning! Thank you all

Lovely setting will cater for coeliacs and vegetarians had a lovely afternoon tea with family

Lovely quirky rooms. Food fabulous - our dinner in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfasts in Cocoes were delicious, definitely five stars!

Lovely place, were on our first ever visit here on our 2nd night in the Fantouche Room, beautiful room and bathroom, staff are very polite and very helpful. Breakfast was lovely to. And the 2 cats are cute also. Great location with shops just a few minutes walk. Over all a lovely and friendly place, Marc & Lindsey

Lovely boutique hotel in the English countryside - the attention to detail this place offers is to be admired. Genuinely loved my stay and would 100% return in future. Wish I could have taken Bert home, what a funny little character! ��

Just been for afternoon tea, it was delicious, the best I've had in this area! Really friendly staff and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Just back from a lovely weekend in Norfolk, staying at the wonderful Stratton’s. Can’t recommend it enough, the food, the staff, the rooms, the rounds & of course the beautiful cats.

I love this place. Stratton's onsite cafe, Cocoes is great for an informal lunch with girl friends, the restaurant celebrates most milestones with our family and their award winning afternoon tea is responsible for the fact I am not a size zero.

Had the most stunning Afternoon Tea here yesterday! From appearance to taste, exceptional! � Staff are ever so friendly and welcoming! The building and outside was beautiful ! I had my 2 year old sister and 9 year old brother with my mum and I & they were made to feel welcome and we were offered extra sandwiches for them too - which was a very kind gesture; the afternoon tea for 2 was easily enough for 3 adults anyway � fantastic experience and will 100% be returning in the near future!! Highly highly recommended !! Lovely surprise for my Mum ��

Had a fantastic night here on Friday celebrating my birthday. They were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely and the service was great. Made my birthday a very memorable one for all the right reasons. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend.

Extremely attentive staff and incredibly baby friendly. My only criticism is that the high chairs did not have trays of their own, so we had to clear half the table of crockery/cutlery etc as our toddler was grabbing at it all during meal times (maybe our daughter is just extra mischievous!). The food was beautiful, though!

Excellent food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere as always.

After asking people for recommendations for the best place to go for afternoon tea, stratton's was mentioned a few times. Knowing swaffham quite well I didn't even know where it was. Today we came and celebrated a friends wedding anniversary. The four of us enjoyed afternoon tea with prosecco in the front garden. It was very good, thoroughly enjoyed by us all and will look forward to returning. lovely friendly staff �
