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.

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.

2/10 Poor

Below par
I was disappointed with the quality of the accommodation at the Stiffkey Red Lion. I found the level of cleanliness and quality of the room to be below par, and the room clearly was in need of refurbishment. Most notably, the window blinds were ineffective and consequently it was very difficult to sleep, the mattress on the bed was of poor quality and the bathroom was not fitted with a shower.

ideal for a stay in north Norfolk
The welcome and customer service were outstanding. An example being the item on the menu my wife hoped to have for dinner was sold out and the waitress and chef combined to provide an excellent alternative. would have liked to have a shower facility in the bathroom and the bed mattress was softer than we prefer

6/10 Good

Couples night away
We were checked in by a very polite young man, who later served behind the bar, he was very efficient and could not do enough for us. We did not eat here at night so cannot comment on the food. Breakfast was very tasty, apart from the poached egg and unfortunately this tasted like they had dropped the vinegar bottle into the water, so it did spoil it slightly. Overall the room we had was functional it did require some maintenance on it. There was a wind at night and you could feel it through the balcony door which also had venetian blinds up to it which rattled, they did not close properly so, as soon as it was light (which was as quite early) you were awake, which was ashame because the bed was very comfortable. Hand held shower over bath, not to our taste.

Hot room spoiled an otherwise perfect experience.
Room was very hot when I arrived: 24degC! Despite turning thermostat right down, and opening the window, I couldn’t get temp below 22 degC by the time I went to bed. Everything else about the accommodation was absolutely fine: as a walker I really appreciated the bath. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious!

I imagine it would be lovely in the summer. Decorated in a beach hut theme. No window, just a door so not good if you like to sleep with the window open. Noisy night wildlife, but that can't be blamed on anyone! Food, a little fancy for the type of accommodation. A little more pub-type home-cooked options would be good.

We booked Stifkey Red Lion for 1 night as we were at the Thursford Christmas Spectacular, the pub was fairly easy to find and had ample off street parking, the room was very clean and check in very straight forward. It was quiet and relaxing and the bed was very comfortable, teaa/coffee making facilities are provided as are the bathroom towels etc.The breakfast menu which included toast and cereals had a very good choice of dishes, all topped off with fruit juice and tea/coffee. We would definitely stay again.

Comfortable accommodation behind historic pub
The accommodation block looked unpromising as we approached it but the rooms were good, clean, comfortable etc and a balcony with views a real bonus on sunny days (we had rain!). The tray of coffee/tea etc had great selection including much appreciated decaf and good quality wrapped biscuits Breakfast was first class - everything spot on. Congratulations. Maybe be best to avoid Tuesday nights. We thought we were under siege soon after 6am with orange lights flashing and loud hailer sounding instructions. It proved to be a bin lorry reversing!!! Despite this, a great stay.
