Terrible
Pros:

My mumbooked a hotel for 31st December to celebrate New Years with her partner, when they arrived they were told that aparently it was closed because of technical issues, but NO ONE warned her, when she tried to reach out and get a refund she was ignored and no one replied! She tried to reach them again but I she was blocked and no one answered the phone! Absolute dissapointment and such a poor approach to a custumer, no respect and no explanation. Payed 69£ and didnt get a refund.DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Very good value for the location
Pros:

Interesting property. Upon arrival we were greeted with a charge for towels which was somewhat unexpected and a system whereby breakfast forms needed to be submitted the night before. Off road parking both on the drive of the property and on the adjacent street. The carpets on the stairs to our room were rather worn but the room itself was extremely spacious - very comfortable indeed. The shower although rather aged as effulgence and had good temperature. No amenities in terms of an on site bar and no evening meals, but the owner was very friendly and the hotel was great value

Cons:

Limited Amenities - no bar, no real food other than breakfast. The property windows probably needed updating and thplae had a tired feel. Nevertheless pros outweighed the cons

Worse Hotel Experience
Pros:

We booked this hotel at the beginning of the year and spoken to the owner at the time, to ensure that we had the large bay windowed room over looking the sea front. this was promised and we paid for it.

When we arrived we were met by a person, who for the next hour told us nothing but lies, and we could only have a small room to the rear of the hotel, as out room had firstly a leak and then he changed his mind to something different. We asked for our money back only to be given the business card of the owner. We made 14 calls that day to him and send messages. Eventually he answered and told us to come back the next morning. However, that evening we travelled past the hotel and it was quite clear that they had double booked our room.

We went back to the hotel the next morning, only to be told that the owner wasn't there. Again, we requested that he call us immediately. It has not been several weeks and we have still not heard from the hotel. Luckily we paid on credit card and they have repaid us.

Due to the area being very busy we only stayed one night in Great Yarmouth and had to cut short out mini break.

The photos on line are nothing like the actual premises.
