Lovely old hotel with sea views. The hotel is dog friendly and the staff were excellent with the dogs. The food was delicious and you could eat in the bar along with your dogs. Service was excellent and so were the staff. The only downside was there was no lift

Lovely view towards sea front

Overall satisfied Mould in the bathroom mainly on tiles Is really the only issue Staff were very polite & welcoming Was at times cold in the room however the heating was on so guess just heat loss because it’s an old building Plenty off character off witch we loved View from the window towards the see was amazing Definitely can not fault the service we experienced

Good choice

Excellent location. Hotel in process of updating and getting back on their feet after a recent change of ownership. Paring at an additional cost was not in my view warranted as parking on hotel grounds. Overall good value for money.
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely views but room a little tired.

Hotel is a bit ‘tired’ and our room needed a bit of TLC. The bed was comfy and the view was great but the overall decor and feel of the room didn’t match the price. Had we not used vouchers for some of the cost, we would have been disappointed.

Lovely old place

Cute hotel. I’ve been going to Hunstanton my whole life and always wondered what it’d be like to stay here. Yes, it’s old. Yes, it’s creaky and dated but that’s what I really liked about it. Breakfast was great for the price we paid. Beds comfy, nice and clean. I personally really liked it. I loved having a room overlooking the front green and the sea. It’s everything I expected it to be, Hunstanton is very sentimental to me and this place made it even more so.

Should be Amazing but

The Hotel is in a beautiful position with fabulous views of the sea. We had not been advised regarding booking parking and didn’t see it in info. There is also no blue badge parking out at the front of the hotel. On arrival check in staff were blunt and not friendly unfortunately. So not a great start. Room a good size, bed comfortable. Clean but needs a refurbishment as walls need painting and bringing up to a better standard. Staff in restaurant very nice, friendly and helpful. We met the night porter as returning late and he was very nice, chatty and helpful. Only stayed one night and room was expensive for what we got but all local prices hiked due to concerts on bank holiday. This should be an amazing place to stay building is impressive from outside and views. Check in staff need to be a more welcoming face of the hotel or at least the gentleman we had, and some areas need a refresh.

Lovely location

The hotel looks grand from the outside but needs a little TLC. It had just been taken over by a new company so info on website and in guestrooms was not up to date regarding breakfast and dinner service times and parking. The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.
