The bedroom block was poorly presented - exterior walkway unswept and badly maintained. Mis-matched and cracked tiles in bathroom, discoloured grouting, damaged mirror, inadequate shower bracket making it unuseable, dirty shelf and window surround, loose toilet seat. Drink splashes on walls, outdated furniture with several damaged areas, dirty tea tray. Holes in corners of duvet cover. Paintwork excessively damaged. The room needs a complete refurbishment and was not worth what we paid. Breakfast was lovely and staff friendly and helpful but the bedroom fell very short of what was advertised compared with what was available elsewhere for the same price.

Comfortable

Quite a pleasant place to stay. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Staff were very friendly. Didn’t eat there at night. They were fully booked on the first night. Couldn’t fit us in. Never mind booking, there ought to be some form of auto reservation system for paying guests. We drove into wells and had fish n chips on the front!!

Food was not great at Evening. Breakfast faultless. Shower err! No wall fixings so my partner had to shower me. Not what I want. No shower door or curtain. Water everywhere. Water hot and on demand so a bath was possible but I just need to shower without my partner spraying me.. Jury out on this one. My partner argued with bar staff about dinner quality. Brancaster Mussels where disappointing.

This visit was my first time in Norfolk and the Stiffkey Red Lion was an ideal location for Walsingham, Wells and the numerous nature reserves in the area. The walks from the Red Lion to the sea or inland are excellent. I strongly recommend this hotel. The food was very good.
