Excellent location!

The Wenns is a pub with spacious suites on the second floor. Because you are above a pub, it gets noisy, especially with wide open windows in the summer (no AC, we are in England, after all!). The suites have been renovated, albeit are still quirky. The hotel is serviced by the staff that manages the pub and hence, it isn’t quite dedicated to the hotel part. No late check in. No staff on premises overnight. Kitchen closes really early on weekdays (they were closed by the time we arrived, hungry after a day’s travel). Pubs does get busy. With all of this said, the location of the Wenns can’t be beat! The flowers out front a so charming too.

Had a great one night stay here in a very large apartment, I would describe it as "Shabby Chic" and although it would benefit from a bit of redecoration the size and facilities were excellent, we had dinner at the restaurant below and this was very good and reasonably priced, staff were all very helpful and friendly and we got an early check in which was handy. My only criticism would be that as this is an old property the windows were of a sash style and only single glazed, this meant that the noise levels in the bedroom were extremely high, first with nightlife and then again at 4am with the Seagulls screeching, this isn't the fault of the property but worth mentioning and I would recommend packing some earplugs if you are a light sleeper! Overall at this price point though a great stay in an excellent location.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. The room is exceptional with a view looking straight at Kings Lynn Minster. The food was terrific and great value with an extensive menu. Service was brilliant, friendly and efficient. Can't fault a thing and would fully recommend.

The Wenns is a great place to stay. Our apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. Some of the furniture was old but that added to the character of the place. The kitchen area was reasonable well equipped with cutlery, pans etc and there was tea, coffee, hot chocolate and milk all ready to go. There was also a washing machine and dishwasher with tablets and detergent. The location is ideal, 50 m from a car park and directly opposite the minster. It was a five minute walk to the river and not much more to the Tuesday Market square so you are right in the heart of Kings Lynn. We loved it there and if we return will look to book the same place again.

2 nights stay for our anniversary and it was amazing. We were in the Chapman Suite which was situated in the roof and it was perfect for us. Had to trek up a couple of flights of stairs, which if you are unfit like me it's a bit tiring but worth it. The bed was so comfortable my husband said it was the best nights sleep he'd had in ages. Gentleman in reception was very welcoming, showed us to our room then came back moments later to provide us with a fan. The room had everything you could possibly need; iron, ironing board, fridge, kitchen sink, kettle, cups, glasses, cutlery etc. There was a bath in the room as well as a shower in the ensuite bathroom. There are a few minor things that require a little maintenance but nothing that effected our experience. The bar/restaurant was also really nice and appeared to be a popular place. Highly recommended.
The bath! Very relaxing, first one I've had in years haha
