Barnham Broom Golf Hotel & Spa

The rooms were comfortable and close to the centre of the golfing complex. The only thing my room didn't have was a complimentary bottle of water. Something that's needed when it's cold outside and the windows are closed and the heating on - especially overnight.

Just back from a great 2 day golf break and I can’t praise this venue enough The staff in every department, from the pro-shop to the reception, restaurant and bar staff were superb The food at dinner and breakfast was fantastic and we were all made to feel very welcome for a long night with a good atmosphere in the sports bar This is our 34th year of organising this annual event with a bunch of old school mates, each year at a different location, and this venue is right up there with the very best Thank you Barnham Broom

All was very good, staff extremely helpful

Great hotel, few issues with the keys but other than that was lovely.

Excellent hotel with lots of facilities, food excellent but everything was pricey. All in all very good

The hotel is in the beautiful Norfolk countryside and has clean and comfortable rooms, an excellent sports club and bar (4 squash courts, tennis courts, gym, leisure pool, sauna, steam room) a sports bar overlooking the Valley course, as well as a nice a la carte Brasserie restaurant and conference rooms for eg a works do or society/charity days, but with its Espa Wellness Centre also caters for treatments and massages after a hard day in the gym or on the golf course for those on a weekend break. The staff are all very friendly and are a nice mix of youngsters learning their trade and the more mature experienced staff who, one felt, had been with the hotel a while.

Great weekend, the staff were excellent, the overall experience was A1.

Excellent resort, very friendly and clean, excellent courses too, well worth a visit

Clean tidy and very friendly staff

Lovely hotel, warm and welcoming staff. Great seating space, great food and extensive bar. Beds were very narrow and the room lacking natural light but other than that fine.

Very nice Staff spot on Restaurant was good Only thing was bed was to soft which was bad nite sleep for me and few others

Excellent, the weather and golf was also very good, only one day with the weather being very windy. All round very good value for money.

Perfect

Lovely hotel, staff were fabulous, friendly and extremely accommodating. Food in the brasserie was wonderful, one of the best meals we’ve had on a golf break. Sports bar was great with outside terrace overlooking the golf course. We upgraded to a junior suite which was clean and spacious, bed was huge and very comfortable. Breakfast was super, buffet style for c continental but made to order menu for full English etc. We didn’t use the leisure facilities but had a look and all looked very nice.

Lovely Twin rooms, the food was delicious and very friendly staff

Extremely comfortable stay. Super friendly staff.

An excellent stay at the Barnham Broom everything was very good good, couldn’t ask for better.

Bloody brilliant.

all very pleasant

great venue and setting, hotel was great along wth very friendly and helpful staff. Incredible value, highly recommend.

golf and hospitality great, some evening entertainment such as darts, snooker table tennis etc would have made our break perfect.

Hotel nice, staff excellent,dinner very good breakfast OK

Great golfing break at a superb venue. Hotel was excellent, good room, friendly and helpful staff, food was very good quality. Both courses are enjoyable plays and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Barnham Broom - will book again!

Every part was superb,but my wife made the booking and four men need twin beds not doubles😉

Enjoyed our stay and golf but thought prices a little high.

Restaurant staff fantastic in every way

Very comfortable

Hotel is excellent, staff cannot do enough for you, really lovely place to stay

Fantastic course (Valley) - despite lots of rain the night before. Drains well. Hotel staff excellent as well as the hotel. Food was to die for especially the cheese soufflés. Watch out for the expensive drinks!! Love this place!

Service was a little slow but the food and facilities were excellent.

Had a great day,thank you.very pleasant staff,especially Ryan.

We have an issue with the bar service the process was complicated and slow. Dinner we had a one hour wait between courses. One of our party suffered sickness and bowel problem we believe due to beer pipe cleaning fluid. Housekeeping was minimum I expected. However the food and staff excellent

Lovely break, all the staff are fantastic cannot do enough for you. Room very good, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Trip was good and rooms had what we wanted. Food and drink service was absolutely awlful. We had to wait ages for drink orders during the day. Evening dinner was ok but found service a little slow but just put up with it as we were enjoying each other’s company. breakfast was a joke, it took over 40 mins for mine and others to arrive (only order in groups of 2 or 3 at a time as we staggered breakfast ) and when mine arrive I had to send it back and toast was cold a poached eggs were rock hard after asking for soft eggs . Then had to wait another 10 mins for replacement to find I still had the original cold toast. I don’t blame the staff but I do blame the management as they clearly need more staff in the kitchen. We went to BB a few years back in a large group and the food and service was fabulous that’s why we decided to re book but we won’t be going again

The room was spacious and comfortable, staff very helpful, bar service excellent, the evening meal was a very high standard, unfortunately the breakfast was a little disappointing, how can you ruin a poached egg ??

Perfectly nice but nothing special - the biggest gripe was the price of drinks (a single gin £7.15, small tonic £3.00. pint of Moretti £6.25; £16.40 for two drinks!!!!) Be warned. The bedroom was small, dark (a single window overlooking a roof) even though we had paid for a 'superior' but the bed was comfortable and large. The smell of too-strong air freshener was unpleasant. The staff, however, were friendly and helpful, albeit under pressure. Brasserie food was okay but the same menu both nights; breakfast was pretty poor really - dry, overcooked full English which had obviously been pre-prepared. Generally, okay but, again, nothing special.

Great venue. Great golf. Ridiculous bar prices

Nice rooms comfortable enough . The only downside was cleaning restrictions due to Covid

Very nice friendly golf course with great staff. Only thing i could say is £6.25 for a pint of Morretti is a bit pricey.

Very clean and tidy excellent food especially full English breakfast. The only small issue service on outside terrace for drinks was on the slow side.overall recommended as a good golf venue.

Lovely hotel and staff but very slow serving breakfast

Only complaint too long a wait for breakfast took 55 mins to get cooked breakfast ! Had to leave it half eaten to avoid missing tea time

Excellent all round. Not too far from home, quite easy to get to. The courses were very good and well organised as it was very busy. Food superb as well as accommodation. Will certainly hope to go again!

Fab hotel, food was amazing best we have experienced in a hotel setting. Bedroom were clean with very comfy beds. Would definitely recommend and will return in the summer.

Nice location, perfect for a short break. Staff very friendly and keen to make your stay an enjoyable one.

As good as it could be expected under the current circumstances.

Excellent all round with all the restrictions in place the staff couldn’t be more helpful

Very comfortable

Disappointed in the quality and price of food in the sports bar in fact it was not valve for money and let down a very enjoyable stay.

All staff pro-shop, restaurants, and bar staff all friendly and helpful. All player commented on the quality of the food. The rooms of a very high standard.

Could not have been better Course flooded but by combining the 2 courses they provided 18 holes to play each day

The whole weekend was a most enjoyable visit. The only downside was the sandwiches in the Club Bar were expensive and small.

Had a great time, all the staff were fantastic and facilities were good. Would come back

We enjoyed it very much the hotel was really lovely the staff was so friendly and the food was really good and my husband enjoyed the golf especially having two different golf courses there would really recommend it

Great hotel ,great facilities lovely setting ,staff exceptional very satisfactory

Restaurant food quality was Ok but the portions were ridiculously small.

Hi

All the staff are very helpful, fantastic location, really peaceful. Everything you need.

Excellent hotel, great staff and lovely food

A better day two even though the wind turned into a gale. This course is ar the top of a valley andin most places fairly flat. Laid out well with many interesting holes. Some bunkers needed repairing. No halfway facilities on either courses. Needed on the hill as it's a fare distance from the clubhouse.

Didn't play well on our first day. The course was fair. Nothing tricky but the wind was blowing.g so this does the course some teeth.

An interesting layout with a very nice variety of holes along with four really good par 3’s Greens all at a decent pace, very hard to read with some tricky breaks especially on the back 9 Would certainly recommend The Valley course

Some of our party didn’t enjoy this course especially the condition of the fairways and slow greens. The fairways didn’t bother me (it’s been so dry recently) and I found the challenge of negotiating the heavily bunkered entrances to greens more than enough for me!

Good course, very challenging

Very difficult for high handicappers, greens same as Hill course as recently holotined so made putting difficult

Excellent course, unfortunately the greens were recently holotined so not in good condition

An early tee time allowed an uninterrupted round on the trickier of the two courses. Water is in play on a number of the holes and local knowledge, or previous knowledge of this course is useful as you need to plot your way around to make a decent score. Look out for elevated tees on one or two of the par threes, and some elevated greens on longer holes. Accuracy off the tee will provide you with the best chance of making par but errant shots into the greens rarely go unpunished with water often in the back of your mind!

A 10 minute walk up the hill past the driving range to the first tee, this course is ironically slightly flatter than its trickier neighbour the Valley. The hotel is a favourite with large groups, charity days and societies, so picking your course and tee time carefully is essential to avoid being held up in the midst of a competition. There are some tricky par threes amongst a good range of 4’s and 5’s which provide an enjoyable round with some good views across the surrounding countryside.

Very nice course harder than the Hill course lots of water. only point was that a couple of holes you could not really see where the shot was due to the layout but very very enjoyable and the greens were in good condition Over all very good.

Very nice but the greens were not in a great condition but that is due to the time of year, its a good course to get you settled in. Worth playing.

Greens a little bobbly, but for the time of the year, course was in good condition, quite challenging

We loved the course - not too challenging which was great for the standard of our group. A couple of greens were unfit on the first round but available on the other two rounds. Well kept and the lay was good too.

Lovely

Lovely

Even scruffier!

Course was scruffy not worth it

One of the two courses, we initially booked two rounds on the Hill course but decided to play the Valley course for our second round. Hill course, first 9 were interesting and undulating, it was very open and it was windy so made it a little challenging. The back 9 was less interesting just back and forth and each hole felt much the same as the one before but worth a go. The Valley course, completely different, tree lined, some elevated tees and greens, lots of water and hazards and made for a fantastic round of golf, you have to be tactical. I would highly recommend playing this course.

This was a much better course to negotiate for mid to high handicap golfers. Much wider and more forgiving fairways than the Valley Course. Great condition also

As mid to high handicap golfers this week all agreed it was a difficult course. Very nice layout but pretty hard

In great condition.

In great condition.

Unfortunately we didn’t completed the Valley course, before we left for the hotel my partner received an appointment for the hospital on the Friday so we had to cancel the tee time booked and return home.

We completed two rounds on the Hill course. The weather was excellent the course its self was the same throughly enjoyed the whole experience. The course was well maintained and the greens were well kepted.

Considering how much rain we have had, it was excellent. Greens brilliant. Eveyone was friendly.

again very pleasant

very nice

lovely course, again, some beautiful holes, great condition.

fantastic course, some beautiful holes, great condition.

all golfers enjoyed the golf

all 8 golfers enjoyed it

Course OK,greens really slow 😪

Layout good,greens true but slow

Again, challenging windy conditions but the course was much drier than the Valley course, seemed to have better drainage. Greens were very different, had been vertidrained etc so were not perfect. Weather was windy but drier so enjoyed the course and conditions more than the previous day on the Valley course.

The weather had been appallingly wet and was on the day we played and the course condition was probably at its worst. Course quite challenging especially in the high wind and wet conditions.

It’s a long walk to the first and a long walk back especially if you’re carrying,but overall it was great

Booking stated one round on each course. However 2 rounds had been booked on the same course so we did not get what we paid for. Emailed golf breaks regarding this but had no response.

Good course had challenges.

Course was a good challenge but due hot dry weather the run and bounce unpredictable.

Not memorable and would not like to play in the winter. Probably spoiled after the excellence of the Hill course

Even if one played badly impossible not to enjoy the experience. Nature at its best

Very good course some challenging holes rewards the good shot. Greens very fast overall very good

Great course had to plot your way round some very tricky holes definitely play again

Good golf experience we’ll layed out

Despite not having good weather both days and the course being very wet, it was an very enjoyable experience. Lovely views of autumn colour whilst playing the course.

Course drains well in winter. Had lots of rain for a few days before we arrived and when it came to play was dry and not too muddy. Greens stayed fast even in the morning dew.

Course drains well in winter. Had lots of rain for a few days before we arrived and when it came to play was dry and not too muddy. Greens stayed fast even in the morning dew. Preferred the Valley course.

Average at best. need a hard hat on some holes as balls are flying everywhere. We should have been playing Cromer but due to YGT mistakes we ended up here. What a comedown. Second time YGT have let me down. Not only that - as I had paid for Cromer I was due a refund due to their inefficiencies. Took over 4 months and a claim in the small claims court to get my money back in which they lied and blamed me for changing my mind. the absolute worst customer service.

Out of the 4 courses played, our least favourite.

Great course, very picturesque and some fantastic holes.

Both courses had a great mix of challenging holes and the chance to score some points. They were in great condition.

Best course of the week (Valley) layout and condition superb

Very good.

As per the Hill Course

We played the hill course on Monday buggies where £40 each. On Tuesday and Wednesday £30, we received no reasonable explanation. The rough was cut but dead grass left which caused lost balls. The bunkers were all low on sand.

Great course, greens and fairways in excellent condition

We all loved the course and the hazards that awaited us

the course was in good condition generous fairways and well thought out, greens smooth and quick, not sure I would pay the £49 green fee just to play the course, and £40 for a buggy ? very over priced

Greener, more wooded, more water than the Hill Course with some quirky course design (7th, 15th and 17th notably) but it's in good condition throughout. No ball washers or rakes (at our club they're all out again) or half-way house which would have been welcome!

A pleasant, hill-top round with some great views; nothing very challenging and several par 4s of 365-375 yards which make most golfer feel reasonably competent! Signage was clear (others apparently have reviewed this poorly before); well placed 150 markers; good, true greens, quicker than anticipated; punitive, lush rough! A rea;;y enjoyable afternoon, never rushed.

Not a bad course by any means but definitely the poorer relation to the valley course. Greens are good but the holes are all a bit samey with a lot of unnecessary OOBs, presumably used as a cheap way of making the course play tougher. Would make the effort to go back to play the valley. Couldn't say the same about this one.

Much the better course. Take plenty of balls

This is a tough course but greens in good condition

Second year . Course better than year before challenging and reasonable condition

Good condition,a few testing holes nice course

The more picturesque of the 2 courses played here but a lot tighter in places but like the Hill course in excellent condition and despite overnight storms course held up well

Lovely round we were 2 3 balls clear course no waiting which made it very enjoyable nice views plenty of room but if we'll wide penal rough.

Great course but some tiring climbs

All good except my own standard of golf. Signage to next tee could be better.

Two excellent rounds as I am getting old, had a buggy on first day (which was better), but not on the next (none available), but still played very well.

I had a very good round of golf, weather excellent also.

Great day out on the Valley course. Some fairways not draining that well so playing all of it's length - you do need to get it off the tee to make a score.

Nice course - well bunkered. If you are playing both courses then probably better to play this before the Valley.

Not all holes were open due to flooding, had to play the same holes again to make up 18, as near as we could. Would love to play both courses again in good weather/conditions.

Unfortunately the river flooded parts of both courses, particularly the Valley course. Had to play one course combining holes from both courses. 16 people waiting on the first tee on Sunday. Only managed to complete 12 holes.

Fairways not as good as the valley but still a lovey course with so very tricky holes

Very hard in the weather we played in, lovely course

Better of the 2 courses

Slow to start but picked up

Closed due to weather but did not put us off as we went onn the winter course.

The day we picked was when Storm Dennis hit got absolutely soaked and wind swept only managed 5 holes. The next day they opened the winter coarse ( 15 holes on Hill course and 3 on Valley course which considering the conditions was in a good condition.

Not as interesting as the Valley Course, most holes straight just a hit and walk. The players consider it easier then the Valley Course, which was reflected in the overall score.

Due to the time of year, leaves on the fareway lead to number of lost ball lack of roll of the ball. Would love to play in the summer.

Course part flooded due to heavy rain

Course flooded due to heavy rain

An excellent course which needs some thought playing some of the holes.

Easier than the valley course and not as interesting, could get away with wayward shots. I would say maybe the greens on this course was better but would have loved to play the valley course twice instead.

Loved this course, it was interesting and had some challenging holes. I would say the greens and bunkers were not amazing but certainly no massive issue.

Discourse was really nice to walk around it had a lot of water features in this this one

We booked the time up for 3 and it was lovely we walked around no hassle really enjoyed around the golf

Very enjoyable lovely course well maintained excellent facilities

Enjoyed lovely setting

Fantastic views around this course. Greens and tee boxes in near perfect condition.

Course was brilliant, even in the rain we had no issue, great scenic views on most holes.

Nice course but not as nice as the Valley course. It was still good challenge and you wouldn’t be disappointed if you played it

Great course, only downside was the torrential rain which you can’t do nothing about. All in our party really enjoyed the course.

We had 15 people playing and not one would return to Barnham Broom

Our whole group was held up by those in front of us. The course marshall removed a group for slow play and all was resolved. Other than that the course, facilities and the value was excellent. The staff were very friendly too.
