Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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 Drink splashes on walls, outdated furniture with several damaged areas, dirty tea tray.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Great place to stay

Stayed 2 nights here with our dog, very dog friendly. Really liked the little room that opened onto a pleasant garden. Good was lovely and Jack gave some excellent advice about places to visit which made our brief visit to the area really nice. Stiffkey is a lovely place to start and the RedLion is a great find.

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.
