Excellent B&B

10.0

A helpful host, flexible about timing; very clean, well supplied shower room and bedroom; excellent cold breakfast, with quality cereals, crumpets, teacakes etc. This B&B is a real find - highly recommended.

Nothing.

Met our expectations in all respects

Adequate. My wife is coeliac and Jackie made the effort to provide suitable gluten free cereal, cake and toast which she appreciated.

Norfolk weekend

10.0

We really enjoyed our one night stay at The Pelican. We couldn't fault the accommodation, the lovely breakfast or the service from our hostess. Very comfortable bed and a lovely hot shower were enjoyed.

There is nothing we didn't like at The Pelican. We chose the location as it was close to Long Stratton where we needed to be.

We had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

9.0

Jackie was very welcoming and accommodating. I needed to extend our stay by one night and it wasn't a problem at all. The property is in a lovely village setting, the rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was a continental buffet.

There were only a couple of niggles that if improved would make this B&B perfect. Milk in the room, We had to go down to the lounge every time we wanted a cuppa to fetch the milk, which was a bit irritating. If there could be milk in the room in a little mini fridge that would be amazing. Breakfast choice was a bit limited, we didn't have breakfast on the second morning because of this.

An unusual establishment - quirky? But everything you could wish for in a B&B

Friendliness and helpfulness - Quality of breakfast, overall cleanliness - Chinese Takeaway excellent value but avoid the puds!

We had exceptional weather but no real outdoor seating.
