Good Hotel Guide Review
As ringed plovers and pink-footed geese flock to Snettisham’s shingle beaches, lagoons, tidal mudflats and cattle-grazed salt marsh, so happy families and their dogs flock to Jeannette and Anthony Goodrich’s friendly pub. They are constantly upgrading, and have created a new residents’ lounge for guests seeking a quiet corner. ‘Redecorated, and new menu since I last stayed two years ago, not that either needed doing,’ writes a reader. Bedrooms are light and airy, in seaside colours of white and blues, coral and sand. Bathrooms have a walk-in shower, luxury toiletries. ‘The room was well laid out and very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable,’ another reader reports. ‘The food was brilliant – lots of choice and delicious.’ The locally sourced menu changes every six to eight weeks, with three or four daily specials. Pub classics such as fish and chips sit alongside Brancaster mussels, Moroccan spiced lamb tagine, a superfood salad. You can eat in the garden, where a new beach hut dispenses ‘street food’ and children swarm over the Merry Rose climbing ship. ‘I cannot speak more highly of the staff.’ (Helen Lewis, Rupert Baker, TS)
