Great staff and great location
Pros:

Our room was comfortable and clean with all the facilities we needed and considering it was above the pub/restaurant it was quiet.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was good and the staff would always look to accommodate a table for us even when the restaurant was busy.

A great location to stay when exploring north Norfolk.

Cons:

The only downside was the bathroom was very small and didn’t give much privacy.

Great location in village centre. Very relaxing stay
Pros:

Lovely old pub. Great food. Helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere.

Cons:

Nothing. We had all we needed. The rooms aren’t large and the stairs are steep but the Pub is very old so this is to be expected. We loved it.

It met our needs
Pros:

Breakfast was ok but thought the extra charges were uncalled for ie extra to have eggs Benedict but you could have a full English at no extra cost and the amount of staff at breakfast time was poor one person to serve and take orders book people out etc and serve casual dinners who were not residents

Cons:

Not having dogs in the dining room most unhygienic especially when they are sitting on peoples laps with their paws on the table and staff petting dogs you don’t know if they wash their hands before they serve food. We found that aspect must off putting and the yapping was enough to put you right off

The atmosphere was informal, the food delicious, and the destination ideal for trips to the coast.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good.
The food (particularly the specials) in the evening was superb.We asked our server to pass on our compliments to the chef.
The setting, next to the church, and in a very beautiful village, was great.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

frankly we have no criticism at all to make.

A very friendly hotel, with friendly staff and excellent food.
Pros:

The staff were all lovely and very helpful. Although not an extensive menu, the food was very well prepared and presented and tasted very good. The room was very clean and the mattress very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and the shower worked well.

Cons:

The building had character, however the plumbing also had character, being quite noisy.
It was unfortunate that, as the weather was really warm and doors were open, a few flies visited the dining room at the same time as us.
