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.

Disappointing
Sorry to say the catering side i.e the restaurant not very good. They had run out of several basic items such as chips and wholemeal bread. Food was average and took to long to be served! Also far too many dogs which I don’t think should have been allowed in the restaurant area. .
