ideal place to stay if exploring the north norfolk coast
Pros:

Apartment was clean and comfortable . The room had all the facilities for a stay , everything was very well thought out from free parking to the extra tea coffee, milk , bottled water , iron, hair dryer , fridge and parking etc
The bonus was having a pub next door so after a day of exploring you could go and have dinner and drink to relax if you so chose. ( note please book a table , we hadn't however , the bar staff went out of their way to accommodate us as we were staying at the motel )

Ik kom zeker terug!
Pros:

Inchecken ging makkelijk via sleutelkastje. Super schone kamer en ruikt ook heerlijk fris bij binnenkomst. Je kunt zien dat er goed voor de accommodatie gezorgd wordt. Het was heet weer maar de kamer bleef relatief koel mede dankzij de plavuizen op de vloer. Ook was er een ventilator aanwezig. Er is geen ontbijt beschikbaar maar je hebt een koelkast dus had ik een sandwich gehaald bij de supermarkt en dat was helemaal prima. Avondeten naast de accommodatie in de pub is ook prima. Kortom, ik voelde me als een varkentje in een modderpoel ;-)

Cons:

Alles prima

A good overnight stay if you don’t want a breakfast
Pros:

The rooms are very well fitted out for a short stay with brewing facilities and a fridge.

Cons:

Last time we stayed here we had breakfast at the pub on site but this option didn’t seem to be available any longer. The cafe in nearby Castle Acre didn’t open till 10 am. Also, we arrived on a Sunday with a 3pm check in but food needed to be ordered at the pub by 2:30pm so we ended up driving to Oxburgh for a pub meal in the evening.
