Accommodation needed in Reepham

Submitted by Judy.Holland on

The closure of the Old Brewery House Hotel could have a massive impact on local businesses as there will no longer be any accommodation in Reepham other than a couple of small B&Bs on the outskirts of town.
 
Our shops, pubs and cafés rely on visitors to survive, and this is where you may be able to help and earn yourself a small income at the same time. Can you offer B&B accommodation?

Let's hear it for Hampton's

Submitted by Brenda.Gostling on

I’m feeling very sad this morning.  I heard yesterday that the enthusiasm of one of our successful new businesses owners is being badly knocked by the actions of a few disgruntled people who appear to want to get that business closed down.
 
Can I say, here and now, that I love Hampton’s and think it is a huge asset to Reepham.  I believe it is a perfect example of how a small town like ours can become home to key independent businesses.
