About The Hero

The Hero suits travellers who want the coast on their doorstep without giving up a proper pub atmosphere in the evening. This is a traditional inn in Burnham Overy Staithe, handy for those heading out to Holkham Beach or exploring the Norfolk Broads, and it works equally well for couples after a quiet break or families travelling with a dog in tow.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks available in room, and the property offers free WiFi throughout. Downstairs there's a bar and restaurant serving breakfast and meals, including options for children, while the garden gives extra space to sit outside. Free on-site parking and 24 hour reception add a bit of practical ease for anyone arriving late or heading off early for a day on the coast.

Outside, the area caters well to those who like to be active: cycling and walking routes lead straight from the doorstep, and watersports, fishing and golf are all nearby, alongside a choice of pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area. Some rooms also make the most of the setting with sea views. It's a straightforward base for exploring this stretch of North Norfolk rather than a destination in itself.
