Great stay for one night

Great location, good value, good food and lovely staff Just a shame of the unwanted hairs in bathroom that did not belong to us the spiders and cobwebs, room needed a good clean and a shower curtain in bath and shower holder.

Kim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall good experience, breakfast was nice too, my only negative would be that the balcony decking needs replacing but if that was done I would have no hesitation in booking again.
Toby, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely little rooms tucked away from main road and super breakfast options, all freshly cooked. Staff really helpful too. A little attention to maintenance of balcony decking needed and bathroom floor tiles loose, with extract fan not working.. listed as only bath so no shower or even over bath type curtain available.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

wonderful weekend away

Very clean and room small but cosy. Lovely friendly staff. Lisa the waitress was amazing and extremely dog friendly, no restrictions. Lovely scenery and close to some great dog walks where he could go off the lead. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff did forget to bring extra bread but were incredibly busy so no problem. We would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thanks all.
Bernie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Where we have given 4 * is only because it’s a very old building. Jack is a total star. We had a very personal private request and boy did he deliver! He deserves double pay. All staff were friendly helpful and welcoming. And don’t even get us started on the food! Limited menu yes. But we all know the phrase Jack of all trades ….. What The Red Lion serves is simply MASTERCHEF!

Short stay on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast

We would really recommend our stay . Our bed wasn’t the most comfortable but when is it away from home . The breakfast which was included was amazing and the owners daughter couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly, top marks . The evening meal although very nice was a VERY SMALL portion ( tiny piece of nicely cooked hake on chickpeas & nuts with a tiny jug of a very nice curry sauce for £25) had to order veg after asking what the meal consisted of and totally overpriced for a PUB ! I would expect this size meal if I was fine dining at an up market restaurant which this certainly wasn’t ! Although a beautiful old pub

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.

Perfect little pub

Great pub with great access to the coastal path, amazing food comfort room with amazing views

8/10 Very good

There were a few cobwebs, but on the whole the room was clean.
Elaine, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The bedroom block was poorly presented - exterior walkway unswept and badly maintained. Mis-matched and cracked tiles in bathroom, discoloured grouting, damaged mirror, inadequate shower bracket making it unuseable, dirty shelf and window surround, loose toilet seat. Drink splashes on walls, outdated furniture with several damaged areas, dirty tea tray. Holes in corners of duvet cover. Paintwork excessively damaged. The room needs a complete refurbishment and was not worth what we paid. Breakfast was lovely and staff friendly and helpful but the bedroom fell very short of what was advertised compared with what was available elsewhere for the same price.
Martin John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stay was good. Staff were excellent very friendly. Rooms could do with update, bed very comfortable. Breakfast was good, good selection.
Susan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable

Quite a pleasant place to stay. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Staff were very friendly. Didn’t eat there at night. They were fully booked on the first night. Couldn’t fit us in. Never mind booking, there ought to be some form of auto reservation system for paying guests. We drove into wells and had fish n chips on the front!!

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.

Chalet-type accommodation, ideal for walkers, birders etc. Food available three times a day. Friendly staff.
Jean, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
