Old Hunstanton Le Strange Arms Hotel, BW Signature Collection

The hotel has many redeeming features but this hotel has a very good staff that go beyond what is expected to make your stay most pleasurable. The hotel stands in its own spacious grounds overlooking the beaches and sea, that is a walk away. The twin bedded room was clean, tidy and adequately furnished.The bathroom was on the small side but fitted with a walk in shower. We had an evening meal in the restaurant which turned out to be barely acceptable. The lamb leg steak, local butcher supplied, was cooked correctly but turned out to be chewy and tough. My wife,s meal was most disappointing. The Mariner pub is part of the same complex whose facilities we did not explore. Breakfast is a lottery as it depends what breakfast chef is on duty. The scrambled egg came up with a rubber like texture and was not edible. On other days it was acceptable, but there was no fresh fruit or cold meats available. We would return if we could not find a suitable alternative. Two points I think the hotel management should address. (1) Relocate the disabled parking to the front of the hotel opposite the ramp to the terrace. Also increase the number of disabled parking slots. (2) The table to dining chair relationship is completely wrong as the chair squab is approximately 50mm too low. This hotel is made by its staff and their attentive attitude to their guests. less

Great location, clean room and good evening meal. However very small full English breakfast and the staff were efficient but seemed indifferent, not a warm welcome at all. Would stay again due to the location. less

The Hotel is very COVID save, check in is queued and quick. Our double room was spacious with all unnecessary furniture cushions etc removed - it had a great sea view. The en suite was well appointed and safe. All facilities (kettle/ iron) were fully operational. We had dinner in the evening (excellent) and breakfast in the morning; both meals very good. However the best thing about our stay was the fact that all the staff were efficient, friendly - and they all smiled at us even when "masked up" the y always had a pleasant greeting or offer of assistance. We stayed in the new build extension, but is is an old hotel so other rooms may be difficult to access (they do have a good lift); and good parking. less

Just an impulsive one night away. I know that things are hard for hotels at present but we have done a few short breaks in the last few weeks since COVID restrictions have eased. This hotel should have everything going for it, superb position and rooms that are quite lovely. Our meal in the restaurant however was awful. Sunday roast in the Uk roast beef no Yorkshire?Do they think that a Yorkshire pudding carries the dreaded COVID-19? Maybe that’s why it doesn’t feature on the menu! The beef was I think purchased sliced and everything was so salty! I requested some horseradish that never did arrive! My husbands lamb steaks were almost inedible as so full of gristle. As for the wine!! No Merlot, no Shiraz I suggested they make a trip to Sainsbury’s in the morning. Hospitality industry do not blame COVID-19 or the government for your woes. UP YOUR GAME less

The hotel is situated next to the beach and is in a prime location.In its heyday this must have been an impressive Victorian hotel.It is now suffering from faded splendour.We were greeted at reception and booked in ok.The hotel has a policy of wearing a face mask in all public areas.Breakfast is pre-ordered the night before with a reduced choice.The room we stopped in was not overly large and sadly in need of refurbishment.We could not fault the evening meal,3 x courses for £30,however,there was no advantage to paying up front,when booking for the evening meal .Unless you eat all 3 courses you would have been out of pocket. Overall we felt the price paid £195 B&B was excessive.Good points:good food and location. Bad points:need for comprehensive upgrade and price.We did notice that when the tables in the restaurant were cleaned for Covid 19 reasons this did not include the chairs(backs and arms) less
