Lodging in Blakeney, Norfolk

“TL:DR we like this place. It's comfy and clean, the staff are great but it's a bit English sometimes and could do with some modernisation.

The hotel is an independent as such can be as unique as it wants and that shows in the lovely quirky nature. The staff are excellent and always on hand to help and I've never seen such engagement before. To the point where a staff member leaving to go to Wales had a 20 min chat with a regular guest about his plans and hopes, utterly unique I would say.

I know some have said the place is expensive but considering the price we paid for an excellent dinner and breakfast included I'd say sure it's not cheep but honestly priced.

Facilities are good and the pool/gym/sauna is very good next to some lovely gardens but for me the rooms could use some updating in particular the bathrooms. Showers and fixtures should be brought up to a better standard. Parking can be difficult which is a tribute to A. The hotel's popularity and B. Blakeney is a tiny little tourist trap with cart lanes for roads. God I do love this country for that. If you're in north Norfolk and have the budget stay here and have fun crabbing.”

“Absolutely love this place! It's a hidden gem. Very very cheap beer, wonderful friendly owners that are always happy to chat and a real homely traditional feel. Garden is fab too! We come here with our vintage cars and always look forward to seeing them again.”

“On this occasion we only had Guinness (reasonably priced) as well as the black garlic hummus, which as absolutely delicious! Lovely atmosphere and very nice staff.

I'm only knocking a star because of the service charge of 10% was applied to the bill by default, forcing you to ask for it to be taken off should you not want to tip. Tipping should be an opt in situation, otherwise just add it to the food price.

Will definitely be back again to try different meals! Certainly recommend going there!”
