Review: What stood out immediately was the cheerful and helpful staff. Well done to all - from the guy who checked us in to the one who made breakfast for us.

The Two Lifeboats

Review: I was made to feel really welcome from the minute I walked in the door. The meals were excellent and served by cheerful members of staff.

The only draw back were the stairs that were narrow and steep up to the rooms, what is to be expected for a building over two hundred years old. A great position to base yourself for trips around Norfolk, with great transport links to Norwich. I was there in January, but I..., by Stephen, 22 January 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent
