Room was clean but noisy and and very warm.
Food here was very good in the restaurant in the evening but breakfast was average.
We went to see the seals at horsey gap and it was close, so perfect for us.

Excellent views
Lovely position for the beach and excellent views from the outside restaurant. (Shame about the wrinkly fake grass flooring) Attractive restaurant and tearoom Probably most unhelpful hotel I’ve ever been to but was good value
If it had new stair carpets inside, new flooring outside and better trained staff it would be an excellent hotel

Lovely break, first time in Norfolk.
We had a lovely room on the first floor, not advertised as sea view, but it was there!
Very comfortable, clean and well appointed.
The staff were so lovely, Elge on reception recommended places to go. Maggie at breakfast was a breath of fresh air.
Breakfast was lovely, loads of choice.
We ate in the dining room, the food was excellent quality, unusual twists, beautifully cooked.
I am coeliac, the staff were knowledgeable and made sure my food was safe.

Everything ok but the breakfast scrambled eggs were stone cold and the salmon was part cold and part warm where it has been waiting on the hot plate and coffee took twenty mins to arrive. Would be nice to have oat milk in the rooms but lovely staff!

Had a great stay.. staff are all so kind and helpful second time we have been , be back soon .one thing I must say I do think 2 staff members should do the breakfast as it was busy and tables were not being cleared and cleaned in time for the next group of people to appear, and maybe a little bit more staff training in that area other than that fantastic thank you.
