About Lifeboat Inn
The Lifeboat Inn occupies a two-storey building on Ship Lane in Hunstanton, the kind of solid, low-slung pub-hotel that has clearly served the Norfolk coast for a good while. It's a manageable size, with 13 rooms, so the feel is more local inn than large hotel, and the setting on the edge of town keeps it within easy reach of the seafront and surrounding attractions.
Rooms come with air conditioning and the usual comforts, and there's a kitchen facility along with room service for those who'd rather not venture out. Breakfast is served on site, and the restaurant and bar cover meals through the day, with kids' meals and packed lunches available for families or anyone heading out for the day. There's a garden and outdoor seating for warmer weather, plus meeting rooms and business services for those combining work with a stay. Free on-site parking is provided, and pets are welcome.
Beyond the inn itself, Hunstanton offers plenty to fill the time, from cycling routes to nearby pubs, bars and restaurants, with entertainment also close at hand. It's a straightforward base for exploring this stretch of the Norfolk coast, with everything needed for a comfortable stay under one roof.
