One night stay

Short one night stop - friendly staff and a warm welcome! Room was large with a comfortable bed, wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility problems as the stairs are quite narrow and steep and there were additional steps in our bedroom. Delicious breakfast!

Great pub-stay in a beautiful village

Overnight stay for Heritage Live gig at Sandringham. Little tricky to find in a beautiful, but tiny village, and with limited parking - paid-car park a short walk - but what a great find! Large room, huge comfortable bed, separate dressing room and spacious bathroom. Shower was good, but oddly positioned on bath I thought so had to angle a certain way. Best was a fab breakfast the next day, lots of choice on menu as long as like cooked stuff. Interesting village to explore, lots of history, perfectly located to visit beaches at Wells on the Sea and Holkam.

The Black Lion is a lovely characterful pub with comfortable rooms. We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff were pleasant and the food was delicious. Walsingham is a great place to stay with lots to see and buses running through the village to Fakenham and Wells.
