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.

Short break before Christmas

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

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.

Not happy

Not what I was expecting to travel from lifeboat to other hotel. Not hotel fault it the booking company false advertising they should specify that you could end up at their sisters hotel.

Disappointing

Sorry to say the catering side i.e the restaurant not very good. They had run out of several basic items such as chips and wholemeal bread. Food was average and took to long to be served! Also far too many dogs which I don’t think should have been allowed in the restaurant area. .
