Excellent location to the beach however, the hotel was dated and tired. Expensive for what we had.
Pros:

The location of this hotel was excellent, very close to a wonderful beach.

Cons:

The shower in the room wasn’t good, couldn’t adjust the head or move it, cubicle was small so difficult to wash yourself!
Room was ok, bed was comfortable but needs some modernisation, looked dated and tired, curtains wasn’t hanging well.
Breakfast was ok, nice selection of food and plenty of it.

From good to not so good.
Pros:

The location was spot on , only 100yrds from the beach. I picked this hotel because we have stayed before (7-8 years ago) and had a very good stay.

Cons:

Although it was clean the hotel itself is very dated , the tv stopped working on our second night , we reported it and a chap came up and had a look , but no results.
The shower door didn’t close properly and the cubicle leaked into the bathroom.
We also had a problem with one of our meals , effectively pork under cooked is not good , the server chap did apologise but it was a bit to late by the time half the meal eaten.

Great location, great food, good facilities; let down by state of bedroom carpet.
Pros:

Location was brilliant. Near the coast in the quiet town of Mundesley. Although we didn’t utilise the option you had great opportunities to walk the Norfolk coast.

Food in the evening was great and the breakfast was superb. Staff were on the ball.

Great parking facilities especially as we were on a motorbike.

Bar was great and although busy we had no dramas with service.

Cons:

The state of the carpet was absolutely shocking. Clearly someone has had a spillage of some sorts and to be honest we thought it was shit on the carpet initially. On closer inspection it looks like some dark brown liquid had been spilled but no attempt to really clean as splash marks still up the wall (see photos). Although mentioned at reception we were informed that they were aware and that some carpets were looking to be replaced. In all honesty, a piece of carpet or mat over the top would have made all the difference.
