The Black Lion Hotel

A great stay in a perfect location for us. Friendly staff and really nice breakfast. Evening meal was also very nice. Definitely recommend to stay here.

The breakfasts wee excellent , and with a wide range of interesting choices - the restaurant likewise The staff were very friendly and helpful , the bar had a wide range of beers and a relaxed atmosphere Room was very clean and well equipped , with a firm bed

Breakfast was good and bed very comfortable.

We requested a quiet room and unfortunately the bar downstairs was extremely noisy until around 12.30am. We were travelling with children for a limited time so this led to us being very tired on the only day we had in Norfolk to explore.

No heating in en-suite. Room was cold at times. Duvet thin

Great location in a beautiful quintessential English village. Staff friendly and attentive. Food and room adequate. However, be aware it was noisy! My room was above the bar, so I heard the murmur of conversation until 10:30/11pm, which i could cope with. The fact that I could hear every word of the couple next door (beginning at 6am!) I couldn't cope with! And then I worried that my snoring may have woken them up, which worried me too as I could hear them snoring at times also! Walls must be paper thin!! I would stay again. If I could have a quieter room.

Superb

Bathroom needs a spruce up with tiling and paint work, but otherwise clean

Excellent location for sightseeing in Walsingham, quiet, cosy pub. The breakfasts and dinners were first class, the homemade raspberry compote and granola with Greek yoghurt at breakfast were delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient, our room was made up daily with fresh towels, water , drinks and biscuits.

Towel rails in the bathroom and an additional bedspread or blanket would be helpful.

Lovely pub in glorious Walsingham

Noise outside from late drinkers

The food was very good - both evening meal and the breakfast. The location was really close to Fakenham races which is why we stayed there.

The room was a bit basic for the price. It was also quite cold in the bar and restaurant.

The location, the quirky building and the food.

The room was cold and never made up during our stay, bed unmade, not replacement of biscuits etc. Staff not particularly friendly, it seemed like we were a bit of an inconvenience.

An authentic local pub in a picturesque village. A good night’s sleep was had in the comfy bed followed by a yummy breakfast.

The small shower which lacked power

Stayed a number of times - great location for Thursford

Plumbing very noisy

Clean friendly comfortable beds and the staff were lovely, the meals were delicious, you couldn't ask for more. O would definitely recommend

The Black Lion was in a superb location for us, as we was going to the Thursford Christmas Spectacular and this pub was 7 mins away. Also the pub was nestled in a lovely little village, which was wonderful to wander round.The staff were so helpful, and lunch and breakfast was superb. Although our room was very clean, bed linen gorgeous and bed very comfy, the bathroom was extremely small. My Sister and I aren't very big people so it wasn't to much of an issue, but if you were bigger, you would struggle with the size of the room and shower.

As previously mentioned, just the size of the ensuite, which was very small.

Ideally situated for the show we were going to see. Staff really helpful & arranged a taxi to & from the venue for us at a reasonable price.

The only downfall was there was no car park & because the hotel is in a type of square , where there was residential housing it was difficult to get a parking space & it was very tight!

Location. Best breakfast ever

Bathroom and bedroom very basic

Very pleasant staff. Good food

If it was busy you would need to pay for parking

Bad

Room too small, no wardrobe, ceiling had a bulge waiting to fall, dampness under window sill, stains on carpet, mould on shower tiles, shower, needs a good clean The manager didn't take any action.Food and service in the restaurant were good

We travel here annually to see the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the rooms are comfortable and cosy. The food was also very good.

There were no problems. We really like staying at the BlackLion as evidenced by the fact that this is our third consecutive year.

Helpful and friendly staff, great choice of food on the menus, room immaculate and radiator working. Able to park outside.
