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.

We loved the room having a balcony, the view was great and liked that it was away from the pub and road, we found it was very quite. The best thing was the staff, they were very polite and helpful nothing was to much trouble. We thought the location was very good for getting about, it made for a good base. We enjoyed the food especially the breakfast. All in all we would definitely stay here again.

Great service, friendly staff. The one downside was no overhead shower, just a bath with a handheld shower. As the accommodation isn't very old (unlike the beautiful old pub) it was a little disappointing but not a deal breaker.

Great stay at Red Lion, Stiffkey

Lovely stay at The Red Lion. Wonderful food especially amazing cooked breakfasts. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Nice clean room. Very comfy. Stairs up to room so may be tricky for people with mobility issues.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly, and did everything possible to make our stay a good one. Facilities overall were very good, though room would’ve benefited from having a proper fixed shower unit. Food was also excellent if a little pricey, and couldn’t fault the service at all, staff were fantastic.

A simple hotel with all basic necessities in the room. Room was a reasonable size with a lovely little terrace outside. Bathroom is a good size though shower very small and door didn’t close. Lovely bar area and conservatory for breakfast. Breakfast was good food hot. Unfortunately no gluten free bread available. Best bit was the staff all unfailingly helpful and friendly. This is a little gem of a place.

Short break in Stiffkey.

Great little pub and restaurant. The room was quite small and exceptional warm (but the weather was great). A fan was provided (personally not keen on them ) to cool the room. We had the door to the balcony open but there was quite a bit of noise from traffic leaving the car park. There was some confusion about the opening times/days of the restaurant but that was the fault of Hotels.com not the hotel staff. The food was delicious and freshley cooked to order as was breakfast which was equally as good. A little out of the way (further from Wells next the Sea, than i thought) but the night sky was worth that.
