Prices are fully inclusive of breakfast. Melody House and Melody Cottage date back to the early 14th century, originally serving as Great Ryburgh’s Magnar Guild Hall under the Priory of Walsingham. Set beside the tranquil River Wensum and just 200 yards from the historic Saxon round-tower church, the property carries a remarkable sense of heritage and place.
Through the centuries it has survived fires, renovation, and even the era of the window tax, later evolving into a collection of charming cottages. For nearly 400 years it also hosted the village provision stores and small shops, making it a longstanding centre of local life. Today, pilgrims travelling the Walsingham Way are especially welcome, continuing a tradition of hospitality that spans generations.
Local folklore speaks of hidden priest’s stairs, possible underground passages, and the occasional unexplained sound in the night — gentle reminders of the building’s long and colourful past, adding a distinctive atmosphere to this historic Norfolk retreat.

Good find
Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. The accommodation was ideally situated with local fish and chips and good restaurant next door. Great Burgh is close to Fakrnham and north Norfolk coast.

Lovely room, an amazing breakfast with a very friendly and welcoming land lady.
The room was lovely and clean with vintage china cups. For breakfast you had a choice of around 30 items which were presented impeccably. Audrey was so welcoming and had great stories to tell. Well worth a stay.

Superior accommodation
Looking through the window and seeing the tables laid so beautifully ready for breakfast we were sure that we would be impressed by our accommodation and we were not disappointed. Our deluxe ensuite had all we required in terms of comfort with Botanics toiletries, homemade biscuits and fudge, fresh milk in the fridge and luxurious towels.

Buy a Gift Birthday present
A voucher was bought for my 80th Birthday. After looking at the selection of places and accommodation Melody House Bed & Breakfast looked good. Location was pretty central to the North Coast of Norfolk, so we booked for 4 nights. Our Landlady was a very famous person, who had played in a band, Sang, appeared in the TV program '4 In a Bed' Been invited to garden parties at Buckingham Palace etc. etc. The rooms in the house were spotlessly clean, the food for breakfast was very good.
