Great little place to stay for a weekend in Norfolk. Comfortable room, great selection of beers and food in the pub. Breakfast was excellent too. Plenty of coastal paths nearby if you enjoy walking too.

We stayed for two nights at The Lifeboat and it was a very nice place to stay. The evening meal choices were very good as were the breakfasts and the food we ate was lovely. The room was spacious and we had a great view. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great venue to visit many places from. So pleased we stayed there!

8/10 Very good

The staff was super friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was excellent and the pub pretty good as well. Location was perfect. Really charming place! The bedroom was on the small side and the bathroom very tiny with no shelves to put any of the essentials. Fine for a couple of nights for 2 people but probably not longer.

Set in beautiful countryside on the north Norfolk coast. The Inn is welcoming, the room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast was delicious. Also, this is one of the most dog friendly places we have stayed. We will be returning.

Lovely stay

Great position, close to the salt marshes. Atmospheric old pub. Bed comfortable and room very clean. Restaurant food was decent pub grub - with North Norfolk prices. Breakfast fine. Lots and lots of dogs in the bar and restaurant.

6/10 Good

Comfortable, clean room. Admin not so good. No reply to an email enquiry and no receipt emailed on checkout Very limited food options and no non alcoholic beers in stock. Some staff excellent others less so.

8/10 Very good

Lovely location and the room was lovely if a little on the small side. Unfortunately there were no decaffeinated tea bags included in the complementary hot drinks tray. One of the “pumps”for the shampoo in the shower wasn’t working.We ate in the restaurant and whilst the food was excellent the service left a little to be desired ( it was very busy and apparently they were a couple of staff down) ! What we couldn’t believe was there was no port available to finish the meal ! The breakfast was superb and one of the best we have had in a hotel. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. All though the points raised may seem a bit petty they make the difference between good and excellent. The detail matters. But we would stay again
