The Neptune Restaurant With Rooms.
85 Old Hunstanton Road, Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 6HZ.
Tel: 01485 532122.

The Neptune Restaurant with Rooms at Old Hunstanton is charming on so many levels that it would be a shame to miss out on such a treasure.
The site of ‘The Rifleman’ in the 1780’s when it was used as a store for seized contraband, it has been known as The Neptune since the 19th century. Now under the careful ownership of Kevin and Jacki Mangoelles, the Inn and Restaurant has been transformed to evoke images of the New England coast.
With nautical themes throughout, brown mellow tones and white clapboard walls, The Neptune could easily be fragranced by either home-baked apple pie or salty sea air. The Lloyd Loom sofas and chairs add to the relaxed ambience of the bar, lounge and restaurant.
True to its origin as a coaching inn, The Neptune offers elegant accommodation in 7 fabulous en-suite bedrooms, all furnished with the clean lines of white, hand made New England furniture. A 4-Star Inn (EnjoyEngland.com), you are assured a high level of hospitality at this charming bed and breakfast, which is perfectly located for easy access to the North Norfolk coast, Sandringham, the Burnhams and the wider County.
Under Head Chef Kevin, the classic-modern food at The Neptune is lovingly created from fresh local produce such as Thornham Oysters and Plums from Orchard Farm. Already a prestigious 3 AA Rosette restaurant, The Neptune has also recently been awarded a Michelin Star.
The Neptune Restaurant is open Tues-Sun (Closed Mon).

Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 6HX.
Tel: 01485 532896.

Transformed by the owners of the warm and comfortable Briarfields Hotel, The Lodge is a delightful pub with a restaurant and rooms, of a quality usually only found at a stylish, designer inner-City hotel. A Dower House in the early 1800’s and The Lodge Hotel from 1912, the listed building offers a lovely mix of the old and the new, with wooden floors and real ales sitting happily alongside new world wines and the latest technology.
Situated in the attractive costal village of Old Hunstanton, The Lodge is only 400 hundred yards from quiet sandy beaches, and just along the road from some of Norfolk’s best golf courses, including Old Hunstanton and the Royal and West Norfolk at Brancaster.
The Lodge has fifteen freshly-refurbished en-suite rooms, along with two suites on the top floor.
The ground floor hosts a spacious open bar and lounge area (complete with oversized, flat-screen TV and comfy leather sofas) and a contemporary-styled restaurant that serves the highest quality locally sourced ingredients in its selection of mouth-watering dishes.
Perfect as a base for exploring North Norfolk, or as a rest stop for lunch and refreshments, The Lodge offers a warm welcome all day and is well worth a visit to experience its laid-back charm and hospitality.
Don’t just take our word for it – The Lodge is proud to hold 4-Star Silver status (EnjoyEngland) and 4-Star Inn With Rooms (AA).
Restaurant open 12noon-2pm and 6.30pm-9pm.
*NEW! For 2010* The Lodge Cottage which is opposite the hotel and has just been awarded 5* Tourist Board rating. The accommodation is very versatile and generous sleeping 6 people.

The Lifeboat Inn.
Ship Lane, Thornham, Norfolk, PE36 6LT.
Tel: 01485 512236.
www.maypolehotels.com/lifeboatinn

The charming Lifeboat Inn at Thornham is a real North-Norfolk treasure. Its coastal location provides breathtaking views towards Thornham beach and it is a romantic, rustic and atmospheric escape.
From the cosy smugglers bar lit by hanging oil lanterns to the large fireplace when you first walk in (you’ll have to fight for space in front of it during the winter – often with a few dogs!), the ambience remains faithful to traditional inn-keeping values (after all, The Lifeboat has been receiving guests since the 16th century). Fantastic all year round because its situation is perfect for exploring the North Norfolk coast, as well as taking in golf at nearby Hunstanton, where the Brabazon Trophy was held in 2003. The Lifeboat comes into its own throughout the winter months when it is an inviting and snug bolthole.
For dining, there is a lovely walled patio garden and bright conservatory, the roof of which is covered by an ancient vine that apparently thrives on Abbot Ale. For evenings and special occasions, try the more formal dining room with its welcoming traditional décor and daily-changing one rosette standard menu (3 courses for £28.50). Year-round, the reasonably priced bar menu features local delights and daily specials and is very popular in the evenings. Children’s meals are available and there are options for vegetarians.
The Lifeboat bar is popular and often bustling into the evening – a perfect retreat to recover from walks along the beach or from exploring the area.
The Lifeboat, and its nearby sister Inn, The Old Coach House, offer comfortable and traditional bed and breakfast (all rooms en-suite) from around £50 pppn (£60 Fri, Sat and Bank Holiday Sundays). Offers and special deals are available for 3-night stays and throughout January and February.
Dogs are welcome (£5 per stay) and extra beds can be provided for Children.
Please ask about the special Midweek Dinner, B&B Break.

The Stiffkey Red Lion.
44 Wells Road, Stiffkey, Norfolk, NR23 1AJ.
Tel: 01328 830552.

On first impressions, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is a traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer. However, since the 1st May 2008, this popular refreshment stop for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers has seen the addition of 10 fabulous rooms, making it one of the most special places to stay near the North Norfolk Coast.
Modern, chalet-style rooms (5 on the ground floor with a small terrace and garden area outside and 5 on the first floor, each with a private balcony) offer luxurious hotel accommodation at a location that is perfect for discovering the entire North Norfolk region. Well-equipped with en-suite bathroom, high quality furnishings and details like flat-screen televisions, there are 6 King-Sized Double rooms, 3 Twin rooms and a Family Double room with sofa bed. There is WIFI Internet access in the adjacent pub (along with great food all day long and a refreshing pint or glass of something cold), but this will be accessible in the rooms shortly.
The first floor rooms have amazing views out over the Stiffkey valley and the hills beyond.
The accommodation building is eco friendly, with a sedum roof that not only ensures the rooms are warm in winter and naturally cool in summer, but also collects and recycles rainwater, using it to flush the toilets. All the rooms are ultra-insulated – there are no fewer than 14 layers of insulation between the ground floor rooms and the first floor rooms, ensuring total peace and privacy if you so desire it.
Room tariffs between £80 and £120 depending on room type, season and whether you want to include a delicious dinner. All room tariffs include a full English breakfast.
Children & babies welcome.
Dogs welcome in some rooms.

The Old Coach House.
High Street, Thornham, Norfolk, PE36 6LT.
Tel: 01485 512229.
www.maypolehotels.com/oldcoachhouse

Despite its name, this former Coaching Inn on the North Norfolk Coast is not all it seems… Multifaceted, this particular hostelry combines a charming country pub with a rather swish Italian restaurant and comfortable country Inn accommodation.
The rooms have been simply and tastefully styled to enhance the natural charm of the building with reassuring warmth – perfect after a day of sightseeing, walking, cycling or splashing in the sea.
All rooms have double beds, some of which can be converted to offer twin accommodation, and a Family Room has a double bed with a set of bunks in an attached annex. A cot is available for very young guests.
In keeping with the welcoming allure of The Old Coach House (everyone seems welcome, and refreshingly, everyone seems accommodated), dogs are also welcome at a small supplement.
To set you up for the day ahead, choose the hearty English breakfast or select from the Breakfast Buffet.
For lunch or your evening meal, you don’t have to venture far either – The Old Coach House has two bars complete with sink-into-sofas and local ales and a bright, open restaurant offering homemade pies, pizza and pasta dishes.
Tariffs from £47-£77 per person per night, including a full English breakfast.
Dogs are welcome – £6 per stay.
Extra beds for children can be provided at a cost of £20 per night.

The Globe Inn.
The Buttlands, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR23 1EU.
Tel: 01328 710206.

Minutes from Wells beach and overlooking the village green, The Globe Inn is the perfect base for exploring Wells itself and the surrounding region of North Norfolk.
Renovated in award-winning style by the Holkham estate in the summer of 2005, The Globe retains all the warmth of a traditional British pub, whilst radiating an unpretentious, easy kind of class at the same time.
The Inn has 7 light and airy en-suite rooms, including 5 doubles and two twin rooms. The Holkham Room is particularly large and overlooks the Georgian square. Children’s beds are available.
All rooms are simple and modern in their styling, with oak flooring, tea & coffee making facilities, digital TVs and telephones. You’ll also find access to a phone socket for computers. In the interest of aiding a good nights sleep, they are all well sound proofed.
Room rates include a hearty full English breakfast, eggs benedict, or Cley smoked haddock with a poached egg. The Globe is also perfect for lunch, dinner or a refreshing pint or glass of wine throughout the day.
Check in is any time after 2pm on the day of arrival. Check out time on the day of departure is 11am or before. Children are not charged for breakfast. A children’s menu is available at lunch and dinner.

The Stiffkey Red Lion.
44 Wells Road, Stiffkey, Norfolk, NR23 1AJ.
Tel: 01328 830552.

A traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is an uncomplicated retreat for those wishing to unwind in a relaxing atmosphere with no whistles and bells.
Centrally located on the A149 coast road, Stiffkey is easily reached from all the towns, villages and attractions that make this region special, from the chic rural hotspots of Holt and Burnham Market to the more classic seaside resorts of Sheringham, Cromer and Wells. There is a popular campsite just a stroll away and the Pub is close enough to the sea for those sitting outside to be refreshed by the sea breeze on warmer days.
In wonderful contrast, eating at The Stiffkey Red Lion is a less traditional affair. While the decor may be reassuringly simple, as you’d expect from a bona fide country alehouse, the cuisine is fresh, modern and mouth-watering. The main menu features classic dishes that take advantage of the wealth of local produce, changing regularly depending on seasonal availability. A specials board changes daily, offering a selection of more cosmopolitan dishes. There are also dishes for children and several vegetarian options.
You can choose to eat in any of the three rooms in the pub or in the conservatory or dining room. There is outside seating too if you’d prefer to dine al fresco.
Ideally situated on the North Norfolk coast (and reachable on foot from several nearby locations, including Wells-next-the-Sea), The Red Lion is the ideal stop-off for walkers, cyclists or birdwatchers. It is great for a hearty lunch, a refreshing pint of Nelson’s Revenge or an evening meal to finish off a hard day of sightseeing.

Recipient of a coveted Michelin Star (one of only two Norfolk eateries to receive such an honour) The Neptune Restaurant at Old Hunstanton is exceptional on so many levels that it must be visited at least once when visiting the area. And if you are lucky enough to reside in Norfolk then this charming treasure is more than worth the journey.

The 16th Century Lifeboat Inn at Thornham is a real North-Norfolk treasure in its stunning coastal location (even the car park has a breathtaking view out onto Holme Dunes).
In addition to the cosy oil-lantern lit bar and general ambience, that remains faithful to traditional inn-keeping values, The Lifeboat is a great place to eat all year round – particularly throughout the winter months when it really is an inviting and snug bolthole.
For summer dining, there is a lovely walled patio garden, and bright conservatory, the roof of which is covered by an ancient vine that apparently thrives on Abbot Ale. For evenings and special occasions, try the more formal dining room with its welcoming traditional décor and daily-changing one rosette standard menu (3 courses for £28.50). Year-round, the reasonably priced bar menu features local delights and daily specials and is very popular in the evenings. Children’s meals are available and there are options for vegetarians.
