Good Comfortable Stay
It was a very relaxing stay. Was there for one night. Breakfast was superb and happy with the room I got.
My only issue was the bathroom maybe hadn’t been checked for shower gel etc.

Set in beautiful countryside on the north Norfolk coast. The Inn is welcoming, the room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast was delicious. Also, this is one of the most dog friendly places we have stayed.
We will be returning.

Wonderful staff
Its a lovely hotel. The room was teeny, but clean and well equipped with all that we needed. It was also very quiet in the room which was nice. Food was slightly boring menu, but the food we had was delicious. Its a quirky place, which I loved. The staff were next level lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely stay again, we had auch a nice time - ooh and very very dog friendly. Id almost say it was a dog hotel and humans were allowed!!

Lovely stay
Great position, close to the salt marshes. Atmospheric old pub. Bed comfortable and room very clean. Restaurant food was decent pub grub - with North Norfolk prices. Breakfast fine. Lots and lots of dogs in the bar and restaurant.

Lovely location and the room was lovely if a little on the small side. Unfortunately there were no decaffeinated tea bags included in the complementary hot drinks tray. One of the “pumps”for the shampoo in the shower wasn’t working.We ate in the restaurant and whilst the food was excellent the service left a little to be desired ( it was very busy and apparently they were a couple of staff down) ! What we couldn’t believe was there was no port available to finish the meal ! The breakfast was superb and one of the best we have had in a hotel. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. All though the points raised may seem a bit petty they make the difference between good and excellent. The detail matters. But we would stay again

Short break before Christmas
All good except needed more light in the bathroom over the mirror as it was difficult to shave.
