    There was a bit of noise from some kind of generator or heat pump through the night, probably worse because we had the window open. May be a problem if you are sensitive to noise!

    Lovely big room, comfortable beds, very clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was lovely, location perfect.

    We were upstairs in the smugglers cove section and the stairs were quite steep.

    It was a very pleasant stay with a lovely room. Very helpful staff. Very good breakfasts.

    The breakfasts were adequate if not spectacular Was a little perturbed at first to find Covid type restrictions were still in place and the room would not be serviced, however this didn't spoil our stay. The Booking.com listing states this property didn't accept card payments and was cash only, this is incorrect I checked with the property before travelling and wa assured that cards were acceptrd. Also in the listing it states that there is no parking available at the Lobster, this is also incorrect there are a limited number of parking spaces available, unfortunately for me I only found this out after forking out for a weekly ticket at the local council car park.

    We were expecting a room in the Pub, however we were accommodated in a family room which would sleep three in the Smugglers annexe to the rear. It was a very nice ground floor cottage style building with a shared private entrance hall with a front door leading out to the street. The room had a kettle,microwave oven and a fridge which was very useful The location couldn't have been better, close to the sea front and within easy walking distance many local eateries. The beer garden was pretty good as was the selection of beers.

    Room could benefit from some minor maintenance, IE, sink taps had to be excessively turned off to stop water flow, net curtains at the window were sagging in the middle---required the stretchy wire to be shortened!! The toilet flush system did not always settle after use, sometimes needed to be gently pressed again to stop water flow! No real problems, but avoidable!

    Breakfast, great. Location, fine. Room, OK.

    rubbish bin wasnt emptied during our 4 day stay. drinks tray or toilet rolls weren't replenished we had to ask. Assume this was down to staff shortages? food menu mostly junk food burgers nuggets not much choice. However the menu seemed to be the same in all eateries in Sheringham. Wifi signal was poor in our room.

    staff very helpful breakfasts excellent. parking available. room comfortable.

    The room was spacious. Although above the pub, there was no noise in the room. Everything was provided in the room, any shortages being made up straight away. The hosts were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was excellent and cooked to order.

    Pub felt catered just for meals rather than just having a drink. No service on the lounge side of pub, had to go through to the other side to order drinks and food. Not sure about some of the windows being boarded rather than glass.

    We were given rooms 15 and 16 which was in fact a cottage with two bedrooms - this met our need with two teenage sons and a dog as it allowed up to use the shared living area to keep the dog rather than bedrooms. Staff very friendly, breakfasts were great and food in evening good. Great that it was dog friendly!

    The bed was two singles pushed together making it 6 foot wide, which we found too much, and not at all comfortable, quality of pillows were very poor.

    A run of the mill full English breakfast nothing out the ordinary ,however it was perfectly adequate

    This isn't the fault of the Lobster but there was a lot of late night (beyond midnight) noise coming from outside a close by pub.

    The room was adjoining the pub rather than above the bars. The staff were friendly and it had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The location is good being in the town and very close to the sea front. The room was a decent size and had a good size shower room too.
