We booked a 3 night half board break for the middle of May. Sadly, the weather was grotty, but the hotel was not. We were allocated room 301 on the ground floor next to the restaurant, very clean, comfortable and spacious. Importantly it was also quiet despite it's proximity to the restaurant and reception. We cannot find fault in the... More

We visited the Golden Lion twice over our long weekend break, in the hope that we could sit outside and enjoy a drink overlooking the wash and perhaps see the famous sunset on the East coast but alas the great british weather let us down. Needless to say we enjoyed a nice lunch and evening meal here on two separate... More

We stayed for a long weekend in early May as a group of 20 people. The hotel was very comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was of a high standard with plenty of choice. The evening meals were good, but the Sunday evening roast was the best meal of the weekend. Reuben Jones entertained... More

This was the second time we had visited the Golden Lion. We like to visit the area to take advantage of the birdwatching opportunities and, of the small number of hotels in this part of the world, the GL offers far and away the best value for money available. The room that we were in, 117, was very spacious and... More

The position of the hotel is in a wonderful spot , right on the cliff top , with excellent views over Hunstanton and the ocean .... More

stayed here for one night only. were a bit wary after reading some of the other reviews. However, it should be remembered that the Golden Lion is advertised as a three star hotel. The hotel is in an excellent position overlooking the seafront, with good views from the restaurant and bar. some of the rooms also have good views, but... More

We stayed on a half board basis. The hotel is overlooking the sea, with great views.Parking is limited but adequate at this time of year, but may be more difficult in high season. Check-in was a bit of a nightmare, as nobody was allowed to check in before three pm, so everybody tried to check in at the same time.... More
