Lovely village pub

A great village pub that also offers accommodation. Food was excellent and better quality you would find in most pubs, and even some restaurants. Breakfast was nice also. All the staff are supper friendly. Bedrooms are up a flight of stairs and of course, in a village pub, there is no lift, so if you have problems climbing stairs. maybe not here. If ever we are in this area, we would have no hesitation in booking The Black Lion.

Walsingham Shrine Visit

Location excelent but parking limited. Public parking is some way away. Breakfast good. Decent pub food at fair prices. Room 5 had a good view over the Church in winter quiet except for brief visit by large noisy Church group ! Building is old so expect that. Walsingham is unique and I certainly prefer the Black lion to the other Pub.

Overall the room was comfortable and bed cosy. Room clean and had everythong you need for an overnight stay. Very limited parking so it was a bit of a fuss to park in the pay amd display up the road, but ended up ok in the end. Staff not overly friendly at breakfast when she was unable to serve a table of 4 at the same time as we had two separate bedrooms, so we ate at different times, which was a shame. The food was very nice, but wasnt really impressed with young lady serving.

Fabulous pub and food

Room perfect for visiting Walsingham. In a pub serving great food for both evening meal and breakfast. Room was a bit small and dated. It’s a period property so low ceilings etc but still could be better. Staff lovely.

The only drawback was that the hotel was classified as pet friendly but, although dogs are allowed in the bar and restaurant, they are not allowed in the bedrooms. Our dog had to spend the night in the car!
