Maltings Hotel  

The building has charm and a relaxing atmosphere. All the rooms are well proportioned and the situation is attractive and suited to week-end breaks or family holidays.

The Hotel is in serious need of updating and refurbishment. This needs to be done without losing the period charm that is so attractive. In such a building this could not be done cheaply - but really is becoming very necessary.

Charming People, and lovely place, with huge potential, but I guess it's difficult for proprietor owned businesses to look as swish as their corporate competition.I'd love to give these people top marks, because they are nice people. But sadly in most cases the mark is missed. The hotel does some-what attract persons in the late afternoon of their lives (possibly even the spot is about to appear in the middle of the Tv and the national anthem is about to play), and therefore may deter a generation with high expectations (and more spending power). Place could do with a big bonfire, a good coat of paint, a decent bar with proper beer (lets face it it shouldn't be difficult the local beer is some of the best), a decent menu, but with proper ingredients, local quality stuff.

The food was very good with a wide variety on the evening menu.

The hotel looks a little tired due mainly to its age.

Convenient position for walks (E.G. cliff top) also for bird watching/nature exploration.

Cleanliness was questionable. The place is quite shabby and run-down. Facilities, bar, lounge are very dated and not at all inviting.

Lovely old building with great character, shame its not been looked after recently.

Lumpy bed, broken shower, in general very tatty fixtures and fittings.

Friendly staff. Good location.

Old. Poor amenities. Poor breakfast(continental), extra for quite small full English ?

Our stay at the Maltings was an enjoyable one, we were made very welcome by our host and our rooms were of a decent size,clean and had all the facillaties you would expect.

This is not a difficult one, when you arrive for the first time The Maltings is a very impressive sight, once inside, (and I know the owner will agree with me, he is a well travelled intellegent person) the place is "a bit tired" but do not let this put you off, I would stay here again, my only problem is that for £60 per night for my single room and £80 per night for Mum & Dads double room, I would not expect to pay extra for a cooked breakfast (£10.00) continental was incl.

The location

Needed drastic updating. Not really value for money.

Very friendly staff and management.Pleasant room and dining room.

Excellent food and presentation. Friendly staff/proprietor.

Hotel seemed quieter than on previous visits and it felt as though standards had slipped. Pointed out a dirty fork to waitress at dinner and discarded a similar one at breakfast. My wife similarly was not happy about the cleanliness of her cup at breakfast. The place appears to be lacking investment although the entrance and car park have been repaired and tidied up. Window frame in dining room is very rotten and the bedroom with it's excellent four poster bed was very dark so that it was impossible to read unless sitting next to the window in bright daylight. The en-suite was a let down with walls lined with painted hardboard and a toilet cistern that was difficult to operate properly. I realise that the economic situation has probably hit the business badly but a modest amount of investment could improve this hotel greatly. Comments made about deterioration of the kitchen roof suggested that maintenance is purely on a "fire fighting" basis rather than on upgrading the hotel. Such a pity!

Great location for visiting the Norfolk coast, brilliant family room good value for money and a good selection on the menu of the restaurant.

The rooms were a bit old fashion and would need redecorating.

Large room. Very quiet and peaceful location.
