I had to travel down from Yorkshire to Lowestoft for a funeral and stayed overnight at the Hatfield. It’s an old building but the rooms were spotless and comfortable with all the modern facilities you would expect. I say ‘rooms’ as in the single room I was initially given the lights did not work, however, once I told Sarah on reception I was immediately moved to a twin room on the second floor. The location is great, right on the seafront, although the Hatfield signs that used to be on the seafront side seems
to have gone, so on a cold, wet, windy afternoon I initially walked about 100 yards past it and had to work out where it was from looking at Google images, no big deal though. Best thing about the stay was the staff, Sarah, who I mentioned before was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble, the rest of the staff I spoke to were also really friendly and helpful. I would imagine that this would be an excellent place to stay in good weather and I would 100% stay again. I was going to rate 4* due to the issue with the first room but it was resolved so quickly and efficiently and the staff and location were so great I’ve gone for 5*. less
