“A stay here puts you right on Great Yarmouth's seafront, near Britannia Pier, and the long-standing family ownership seems to translate into a uniquely accommodating atmosphere; little touches like flexible breakfast tailoring make a real difference. Although the décor may be a bit dated for some, it's an experience that's both different and comfortable, plus you'll find a surprisingly good restaurant menu.
