This place is gleamingly clean and very well appointed, albeit it's an new building with large rooms. The owners and staff are attentive and excellent in every way and the in-house bar and restaurant are comfortable and provide excellent fare - bettering everything else in town in our opinion. Add this too a plethora of floral arrangements from a lovely... More

This hotel was lovely. I have just arrived back home in Norfolk, UK. The family who run this hotel are lovely people, very warm and welcoming. I arrived with my father for 3 days here, mainly the purpose of researching my family history, and this was an ideal location for us to reside while we ventured out- recommended Many thanks... More

I booked this hotel after reading reviews on here and thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt - I was wrong!!! Upon arrival, we were greeted by Lynda (the owner) who was very over familiar, using first name terms and she even told us about a diet that she was going on and how she found it... More

Given wrong room on arrival – shown to a small double room – seems like standard rooms are small. Then on to the suite we had booked. Not a suite. One fairly large room but this was not a suite. Sink was not in the bathroom but in the corner of the bedroom – unhygienic and old fashioned and not... More

*Please note that at Houton Bay Lodge Bed & Breakfast all rooms are of a similar size (i.e. all are large double/twin rooms in fact) except the room called 'Flotta', which is for couples who are on Honeymoon (and it is extra huge). All our rooms have just been refurbished to a very high standard and redecorated over the winter... More
