Le Strange Arms

As we were there during the heatwave, very uncomfortable as no air-conditioning. The portable fan supplied sounded like a tractor ploughing a field and had very little affect, very difficult to sleep. Also the restaurant smelt like dogs and when you have an allergy to dogs made it uncomfortable. Talking of restaurants the amount of flies needs sorting, again maybe due to the heatwave. Car park was hit and miss as beach goers tend to fill the hotel car park maybe some kind of automated barrier could be introduced.

Not as clean as could have been
Body wash in shower empty

Booked a room with a Seaview, which was a lovely view. However, the net curtains don’t draw out of the way so you can’t actually see it! Room was a bit hot but it was a very hot day so to be expected.

No mirror in the room to dry hair etc. Air conditioning needed

Breakfast was tasty; but expensive if you only have a small amount.

As many other review state the hotel could do with a major refit but that a huge undertaking in an old building eg I was there during one of the 2026 heatwaves and there was no air conditioning just an electric which disturbed my sleep. Also I paid extra for a sea view but couldn't draw back the net curtains to see it - just held them back to have a view!

Restaurant next door didn't take any orders after 7PM, the newly installed bar overlooking the beach closes at 5PM on a Sunday. Having known this we would have sorted ourselves elsewhere before arriving back to the hotel in the evening without any food choices.
Something to bear in mind for the next trip!

Breakfast although it's very good, is quite pricey at £19 each. Plenty of choices of cooked breakfasts, you do pay for quality so it's not really a bad point - but thought I'll mention.

breakfast

The standard of cleanliness in the restaurant, floor covered in crumbs etc round tables

Rooms a little dated, no air con in 30° heat.

can't think of anything I did not like

We waited 30 minutes for sandwiches and chips. When arrived they looked limp and not great, we thought it may be a one of and so we booked dinner in the restaurant, big mistake,The sausages were clearly microwaved, they were absolutely disgusting, the vegetables were very chewy if there was a shop nearby we wouldn't have eaten the food, weve stayed in places a lot cheaper where the food was 100% better, we didn't even stay for breakfast, we drove to new hunstanton where the food was a quarter of the price and actually eatable

Staff didn't smile much and breakfast team not friendly for high class hotel
Lack of Taxis and Uber around Hunstanton

Breakfast too expensive. Should be a cheaper option for those who do not wish to have a full English everyday. If you just want fruit/yogurt and cereal then £18.50 is far too expensive. Some full fat/ Greek yogurt would be nice.

The room was exceptionally warm even with fans on.
The bar was not welcoming we had to search for staff to get a drink.
