Briarfields Hotel

The good The location, accommodation, hotel facilities and bar areas and large car park are all great We found the staff to be friendly enough although it seemed that there were staff shortages at times impacting service levels The not so good The service and food in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner varied from good to awful – and was very inconsistent. Much better training is needed amongst the serving staff and in the kitchen. If you address these issues you have a very good hotel – without that it is very average.

A really pleasant stay. Very friendly welcome and service. Room very spacious and quiet. Beautiful bathroom but I found although there was a great level access shower, there were no handles for support and the general flooring didn’t feel non-slip. I enjoyed the food very much indeed and service was excellent. The menu was comprehensive. Would return.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 days towards the end of August. Considering it was still school holidays in England, it was not that busy. The room was fine. The fan in the ceiling was not working but this was not a great inconvenience. The rainshower is excellent and easy to control. Food in the restaurant was good but there was too much emphasis on fried food. My suggestion is that the restaurant explores the possibility of serving grilled rather than fried fish. Also they should explore locally made real pies which should make it easier for the kitchen plus it can help more customers with food intolerances/preferences. Would I stay here next time I come for birdwatching in North Norfolk? Most definitely yes. This hotel could not really be nearer to the Titchwell RSPB reserve, unless it was within the reserve itself.

After some hit-and-miss meals in 'foodie' pubs along the coast, this time we chose to go more upmarket. And we're very glad we did. Food, service and ambience were all spot on. Tomato soup and king prawns for starters were both good. For mains, the pork belly was beautifully tender, and the beef brisket in bbq sauce was delicious. For dessert, the summer strawberry tart was tasty but light. A nice selection of wines, and we both enjoyed glasses of the Italian red Primitivo. The children's menu was good value with bigger portions than you sometimes get elsewhere. Very friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the food on the menu. Not cheap, but also not that much more than we had been paying elsewhere for pub meals. Would definitely like to return.

Lovely camp site . Very handy for motorway. Spotlessly clean , lovely modern shower block . Very friendly owners ..Site is a credit to them . Would definitely stay here again . We got bus outside into the town . Great find for us . Would recommend

A lovely hotel in a lovely setting. Everything was perfect. Breakfast was tasty. This was our last weekend away with our parents before they both passed away.....Great memories. Stayed in one of the suites .... the free standing bath in the room was a lovely touch
