A lovely stay at the Red Lion. All the staff were so friendly, helpful and attentive. The breakfasts were delicious and the evening meal we had was absolutely scrumptious. We’d definitely recommend a stay here.
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.
Great pub, lovely staff and superb food. Accommodation (Room 3) was clean and comfortable but could do with a little TLC e.g. could not take a shower as wall attachment was at bath level!

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Stay was good. Staff were excellent very friendly. Rooms could do with update, bed very comfortable. Breakfast was good, good selection.
We stayed 2 nights with our dog. Very clean room, super breakfast and very friendly staff.
Just a note please replace toaster at breakfast. Out of 6 slots only 3 work.
What a lovely hotel, such a friendly and efficient service and lovely staff, general areas of the hotel ate beautifully decorated and the rooms very comfy
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.
