We stayed for two nights at The Lifeboat and it was a very nice place to stay. The evening meal choices were very good as were the breakfasts and the food we ate was lovely. The room was spacious and we had a great view. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great venue to visit many places from. So pleased we stayed there!

Lovely property with very nice and helpful staff. Food and drink was excellent. Just unfortunate that the room was so hot. It was a warm day but considering it was April and a 20-22C day I was shocked how uncomfortable the room felt. Portable AC is provided but not overly effective.

Great little place to stay for a weekend in Norfolk. Comfortable room, great selection of beers and food in the pub. Breakfast was excellent too. Plenty of coastal paths nearby if you enjoy walking too.

The staff was super friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was excellent and the pub pretty good as well. Location was perfect. Really charming place! The bedroom was on the small side and the bathroom very tiny with no shelves to put any of the essentials. Fine for a couple of nights for 2 people but probably not longer.

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
