We would definitely come back and will do later in the year
Pros:

We were greeted by some very friendly ladies, who looked after us and even made my meal to my liking as on a special diet. Staff in the hotel were lovely, morning breakfast was super real smoked salmon very tasty.

Cons:

More meal choices perhaps but there were starters as well, didn't have room for a dessert.

Good setting, excellent breakfast, very enjoyable.
Pros:

Breakfast excellent, my wife said hers was the best smoked salmon she'd ever had. Location very good though we already knew the area well.

Cons:

The biggest problem was that there was no shower in the bathroom which really is a must. Room could do with a lick of paint.

Very comfortable stay. Nice staff, good food but building & decor rather tired
Pros:

Location perfect being close to the coast & midway between Cley & Wells. Breakfast very good as was all food albeit a limited dinner menu selection.

Cons:

The building is very old & a bit tired. Now in need of complete re-decoration. No covered way between pub & bedrooms. Thankfully we had glorious weather.

Relaxing, quiet, welcoming inn/restaurant, good location for the north Norfolk beaches.
Pros:

Helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, quality of the restaurant food was good. Quiet location and good breakfast.

Cons:

Restaurant was a little pricey, bathroom was beginning to look a bit tired, just some re-tiling needed but it would have made a significant difference.

Nice pub, off the beaten track with a good selection of beers.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. Fairly remote location which meant it was quiet at night.

Cons:

Bathroom could have done with a shower screen or curtain and somewhere to hang the shower attachment. Blinds in room inadequate in keeping out light. Wi-fi code needs to displayed in room.

Very laid back . We loved it.
Pros:

Location was brilliant. We loved being able to walk to the coastal path and / or being able to hop on the coastliner bus. We had two evening meals which were excellent, and we particularly liked the balcony to our room

Cons:

It would have been nice to have had a defined parking space . And it would have been good to have had a mini fridge in our room.
