Friendly hotel well situated to explore the North Norfolk Coastline.
Pros:

This is the second time we've stayed at the hotel and once again we were not disappointed. Located between Weybourne and Kelling the hotel is ideally located to explore most of the North Norfolk coastline. There is ample parking in front and around the site. Our room was airy and spacious and overlooked the front. The beds were large and comfortable and the room well stocked. Fresh milk and courtesy still water were provided each day. The staff are very friendly and were a good source for local sites to visit. We ate in the first night and the food was delicious as was breakfast which caters for all tastes. We also ate at The Dun Cow in Salthouse and The Feathers in Holt both of which we would recommend. For those fit and able and if time permits we would also recommend taking the hotels circular walk (maps available in reception) which takes you down to Kelling beach and back. At its apex you get spectacular views of the local coastline and can use the beach to walk to Salthouses, Weybourne and much further a field. During our stay we visiting Pensthorpe Nature Reserve nr Fakenham, Sheringham (shops not that good but nice clean town and part of the North Norfolk Railway), Burnham Market, Holt, Blakeney and Clay. Most are a relatively short car journey from the hotel. Again when in Sheringham we would recommend walking to the coastguard spotting station, a small building you can see on the costal path off the local golf course. The views are wonderful. Great stay would definitely recommend the Pheasant as a quiet friendly hotel brilliantly located to explore the beauty of the NN coastline.

Cons:

Nothing. We loved it all.

Pleasant stay and will return.
Pros:

Nice amenities.

Cons:

Would be nice if receptionist asked cleaners to wait to have conversation and deal with waiting guests first.

Uncomfortable bed and pillows.

Room needs upgrading. Huge lump out of wall. Grouting in bathroom needs replacing. Tub chair at table near mirror would be better being replaced with chair that fit under table. Takes up too much room.
