Pros:

This was the perfect resting spot for my colleagues and I. The host was very responsive & accommodating with all our requests regarding room arrangements, parking, and late check in.

The location and views were so calming, rooms were spacious, clean & well equipped with some snacks, teas, coffees etc. Definitely saving this spot for whenever I happen to return to King’s Lynn.
