Lovely old fashioned hotel, great staff and great food. Very reasonably priced.
Pros:

An old building and everything higgadilly piggadilly! We knew this so not unexpected. Room 6 had a lovely modern walk in shower, whilst room 5 had a bath. Bedrooms relatively small but furniture drawers were very large so could get a lot in. Lovely to not be in a modern clinical chain.
Just on Sutton Staithe so could watch water birds. 7 minutes from wildlife sites at Hickling,and 15 mins from Horsey Gap to look at seals.

Cons:

Stairs very steep. We are in our 80s, and could just manage, but not for the really disabled.

Adequate with price reflecting rather down-trodden feeling.
Pros:

Excellent breakfast! However the whole building is in urgent need of upgrading - especially flooring and tables. Bedroom was clean and tidy - good self-service tea for example. Posssibly as expected for the price although we don't think our wives would have liked to stay there!! Car park good although the usual pot-holes experienced. Black building extensions visible from car park ugly and not welcoming, also grass-cutting would enhance impression on arrival.

Cons:

See above.
