About The Lifeboat Inn
Sunday roasts and fresh seafood have made a name for The Lifeboat Inn, a traditional pub-hotel on Station Road in Wells-next-the-Sea. The building has the cosy, low-beamed feel of an old coastal inn, with a restaurant and bar at the heart of things and free on-site parking for those arriving by car.
Rooms are en-suite and come with drinks available in-room, and breakfast is included to set guests up for the day. Reception runs around the clock, free WiFi is provided throughout, and dogs are made properly welcome, making this an easy base for owners travelling with pets. Staff are consistently described as friendly and accommodating, though service at busy times can be on the slower side.
Wells Harbour and the Norfolk Coast Path are both close by, and the surrounding area offers walking and cycling routes, watersports, fishing and golf, along with a scattering of pubs and restaurants nearby. It makes a practical, characterful stop for exploring this stretch of the Norfolk coast.
