Mount Lavinia

Room was a little bit small, but had everything we needed - comfy bed, two chairs, table, tea and coffee making facilities, TV. Excellent large bathroom with bath and shower, toilet and basin. Breakfast just right for us, Continental and serve yourself. Staff friendly and helpful. Only small problem was that locking the room was very tricky, hard to lock, until you got used to it.

Never received the pre check in instructions despite e-mailing the owner twice Sunday and saying I would not be contactable because travelling on the Monday, got no response to e-mails and even checked prior to leaving Monday morning - hassle. The room & bathroom wasn't cleaned for the 4 nights I was there, not were any complimentary teabags/coffee/sachets/milk sachets replaced through my stay - in fact the room remained as I left it each day, so clearly no cleaning was done. Breakfast was poor - do it yourself and the quality of the food was poor, including just getting whatever wasn't eaten the day before out the following morning - who knows how long some of the scones, crumpets and croissants had been around. Cheap reformed ham and reformed chicken slices in tupperware containers, very unappetising. Tried some the first morning, didn't repeat the experience and stuck with cereal after that. Not sure I got the room I booked as differs from the photo but room was comfortable enough. No fire evacuation posters anywhere, no fire exit signs - thought these were a legal requirement - no welcome packs in rooms, so no information about anything related to the property, the stay etc etc.

The photos do not in anyway match reality the information says self check in no problem but what I do have a problem with is the other things not mentioned no laundry/servicing the room empty your own bin extra towels £3 mouldy cheese at breakfast info states breakfast included but not continental only gluten free requested as 1 guest has allergy not provided until 2nd day of stay told they forgot the only positive is the bed was comfortable

The windows were not secure. Basic accommodation at a fair price. Very unlikely to revisit.

Brilliant B&B in Sheringham. Clean and newly decorated. Great bed. Really nice breakfast. Although it's 'only' continental, it's got a huge variety and choice, we were pleasantly surprised. Although it was self Check-In , there were really friendly hosts during breakfast on both day to show us where things were and clear up. Really recommended .

small room with everything we needed, car parking was a tight, good breakfast facilities

Cheap and cheerful, owner very friendly and polite

Mount Lavinia was OK for a weekend, but we would not have wanted to stay longer. Breakfasts were excellent and included in the price. The man on duty at breakfast-time was helpful. The main problem with a longer stay would be the towels policy. Each guest was given a bath towel and a hand towel. If you wanted another towel the cost was £3 per towel. Our towels remained damp after our first use of them. The system was self check-in and we never saw the owner. My booking with ********** said that I would pay at hotel. When we were leaving I asked about payment. The man on duty at breakfast phoned the owner who said he had taken the payment. For us this was all quite strange, as we normally pay at check-in.

Lovely place to stay, nice walk to the sea front and restaurants Room was spacious and very clean and good shower The owner was very welcoming as was the other staff member Would definitely go back again
