    An Inviting Coastal Retreat

    My family and I had a delightful stay, enjoying stunning sea views from our cozy room. The bar served scrumptious meals, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Don't miss out on the generous breakfast and the opportunity to relax by the crackling fire in the lounge!

    The Lifeboat Inn features charming decor with a welcoming atmosphere, including cozy seating by a real fire. The easy accessibility made navigating the area comfortable during my stay, perfect for someone of my age.

    A quieter ventilation system would enhance comfort.

    quality breakfast
    beautiful view
    service delay

    pleasant stay but could improve service responsiveness

    The breakfast selection stood out with its quality and variety. The sea view from our room enhanced our experience. The pie from the menu was particularly memorable.

    Service responsiveness could use some improvement.

    fresh produce
    good value

    It was just a smart choice for a mini-vacation in Hunstanton with good value for money. Breakfast was wonderful with all the produce being very fresh and delicious. For those with pets, be ready for an extra charge for your furry friends.

    cozy atmosphere
    tasty food
    unresponsive service

    Had an amazing trip with friends! We explored the beautiful coast and relaxed after enjoying some great meals. The staff were super friendly, and the rooms were really comfortable. Make sure to check out the cozy atmosphere and tasty food options. The location is perfect for a getaway.

    We had a little hiccup when we wanted to grab a coffee and there was no one to serve us, which was a bit frustrating.

    Wonderful dog-friendly stay with excellent breakfast

    I enjoyed a fantastic stay in a spacious room with a lovely bathroom, and my dog was warmly welcomed with a treat and a blanket. The breakfast selection was delightful, with a thoughtful touch of providing a sausage for my dog at the table. The cozy atmosphere, especially by the fire, made for a relaxing experience. a tidier courtyard would enhance the overall impression.

    convenient location
    pet-friendly amenities
    inviting atmosphere
    uncomfortable chair

    The location shines with easy access to nearby beaches and lovely walks through marshes, perfect for exploring. The room designed for pets offered a private outside area with thoughtful touches like a towel, bowl, and dog treats.

    The shower overhead struggled to deliver a decent flow, leaving the experience less than ideal. While the chairs were functional, they lacked comfort, making it hard to unwind, and the lighting didn't create the warm vibe one might hope for in the evening.

    delicious food
    comfortable stay
    noisy ventilation system

    Had a great time with friends! We explored nearby Thornham and made a visit to Sandringham. The food was top-notch, especially the smoked haddock for breakfast. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Heads up, the courtyard needs a bit of tidying, but it didn't dampen our experience one bit.

    Our stay was affected by a noisy ventilation system that kept one of my friends awake. It made the room a bit uncomfortable. Just a heads up who might be sensitive to noise.

    beautiful decor
    delicious breakfast
    lack of play area

    We had a lovely stay, enjoying the spacious sea view room which was beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for exploring the local area and the breakfast offerings were delicious. Sitting by the log fire with my cousin after a day out was especially cozy.

    My kids wished for a play area for kids to enjoy.
