Fayre View Restaurant is set in a 16th century building overlooking Fair Green. The Fayre View Restaurant building itself housed the Post Office at the start of the 20th Century and has recently undergone major refurbishment throughout. With a Bar area, Conservatory, outside terrace, three separate dining areas and accommodation on site with 4 double, ensuite rooms we have much to offer to ensure you have a great stay.

The Fayre View is the perfect location to relax and unwind, away from the main thoroughfare we offer a quiet retreat on the Norfolk, Suffolk border overlooking the beautiful Fair Green and surrounded by other period properties.

One of two original town centres, Fair Green presents an idyllic village scene, with attractive groups of 16th and 17th century houses and cottages with some buildings dating back to the 12th century. The Fair itself was granted a Royal Charter in 1185 and was the scene of visiting fairs and circuses where bear baiting and cock fighting were a regular occurrence. The fair was eventually closed for 'disorderly behaviour', along with many other fairs, by an Act of Parliament in 1872.

The Fayre View also makes an ideal base from which to explore, the historic town centre of Diss is a few minutes walk away with many period properties, individual shops and the mere, an inland lake of some 6 acres. Diss also boasts a main line train station so you can leave the car behind for longer day trips with England's Capital City, London being only an hour away. Road links are good with direct routes to the Norfolk coast and the Norfolk broads and these are easily accessible as a day trip.

The local country roads around Diss are ideal for Cycling and several safe circular cycling routes have been identified by the local town council which include Diss and Fair Green as a stop.

Within 40 minutes is the Cathedral City of Norwich, complete with Castle and original city walls. On offer is a pedestrianised city centre with a wide range of shopping centres including the Mall and The Royal Arcade together with plenty of entertainment and nightlife, including cinemas and The Theatre Royal.

The historic town of Bury St Edmunds is also within 40 minutes drive and has a range of attractions. There is the Greene King brewery, 'The Nutshell', the smallest pub in England and a derelict abbey with walled gardens. The abbey was a main feature for the region and in 1214 saw the barons of England meet to swear an oath that they would force King John to accept the Charter of Liberties, later to be known as the Magna Carta.

An hour away is Cambridge with University colleges dating back to 1284, punting on the river, open parks and gardens and a wide range of shops.
