Was a really lovely pub, very welcoming, great service and the evening meal was to a very high standard. The manager moved us to a seafront view which was a nice touch, bed comfy, and well stocked tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast was 5 star, highly recommended.

Just what you would expect from a seaside hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful we had a great evening meal, that we were not disappointed with. This was great as we really did fancy fish and chips sat beside the sea wall !! The room was well stocked with tea, water, biscuits and good to see plenty of the individual milk containers. The breakfast was up there with the best all freshly cooked and hot.

We stayed for 2 nights at the pub and had a lovely time in Sherringham. Just meandering around & walking along the seafront. The only problem we had was the mattress on our bed was far too soft, so uncomfortable and we both ended up with chronic back ache by the morning. The food was good and the breakfast choice was amazing.

We had a great stay. Our checkin was very welcoming by Quami . All the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our stay memorable. Ely and Claire and Anna were also wonderful and all the bar staff. The breakfasts were great with lots of Choices and they made us a lovely packed lunch instead of breakfast on the last day as we left early. The restaurant/bar was excellent and outside patio too. Beds were very comfortable- we had a twin bed room with a view of the sea. Wifi was awful so we had to talk to each other hahaha They do need to put a mirror near a plug as we could not use the hairdryer/curling iron and see what we were doing. We stayed 3 nights. We would stay there again.

Great Accommodation Value for Money.

Friendly welcoming on arrival. Twin Room with Sea view was small but had everything you needed. Beds were comfortable, and clean. Plenty of Tea/Coffee available in room. Overall we had a great stay. Breakfast was amazing and nothing too much trouble, if you needed anything. Staff very accommodating and nice. Fish and Chip evening meal was excellent! No carpark on site but there was one near by, so wasn't a problem.
