The hotel was adequate the staff made it amazing, the service from shearing was less helpful, we requested a downstairs room with shower due to mobility issues and on arrival was given a first floor room with bath, the polar opposite to what was required. The staff were more than happy to help us, but the embarrassment of it all should not have had to be endured if shearing had booked it properly in the first place.

The Golden Lion Hotel at Hunstanton was absolutely very well situated right by the sea with a Green in front of it. Ideal for walks around town or the costal path. Very dog friendly. An old tired place, but clean and the staff are very friendly. It’s in need of a refurb but apart from that is a little gem by the sea.

Booked on line after ringing for some more info. Call centre helpful and pleasant. Website booking form a bit awkward at accepting telephone numbers.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.

My husband and I have had several holidays with Shearings and find them a first rate company, they are always wonderfully polite and helpful and do everything within their power to give you a fantastic holiday! We love travelling with them and have already booked a few more holidays in the near future!

I couldn't work it at all. The code wasn't accepted and it felt like I was going around in circles . The best feature was we'll call you back..
