The Premier Inn in Lowestoft is a no-nonsense, budget motel located in Lowestoft, just behind the…read moreBeefeater Pub. The reception and Beefeater staff were friendly and efficient and the room and restaurant were clean, if unremarkably adorned (by US standards). The property is set back off the main road and features a free car park for guests. This location doesn't seem to participate in the 29gbp/night campaign -- my rates ranged from 57-62gbp/night during my stay. They do take their 'good night stay' guarantee seriously and will comp you for a night if you encounter any problems during your stay. The room is equipped with basic creature comforts -- a comfortable bed, a 13" color TV with Freeview digital cable, a desk. However, travellers should bring a own travel alarm and/or your mobile phone, as the rooms have neither a clock radio nor a telephone to receive a wake up call. The Premier Inn in Lowestoft isn't intended to be a destination in an of itself -- but, all things considered, it's an inexpensive and clean hotel to spend a few nights while in town on business or exploring the area.

I have checked into this hotel over 40 times since my Norwich project started and I think it might…read morebe time to update my review. That number of "check-ins" above accurately reflect the number of days I've stayed. I have stayed in several different rooms and depending on how busy they are will depend on whether or not I get upgraded or just get a regular room. It is a conference center and it's the nicest hotel in Norwich, so it can fill up when there is a special event. (A movie was recently filmed in town so most of the cast and crew stayed here for two weeks.) While the upgraded rooms are nice (I had the honeymoon suite a couple of times) even the standard rooms are clean and comfortable and plenty roomy. Flat screen TVs, a work desk with UK power sockets, a trouser press, bathrobe and slippers, plus wifi that works everywhere in the hotel (not free unless you are Gold or Platinum elite) though it does get VERY slow between 21:30 and 23:00. The staff are very friendly and most welcoming. Once a month is a meet-and-greet with the management, which has allowed me to provide them with some feedback and opportunities for improvement. The 1559 Restaurant serves a continental and English breakfast buffet in the morning and a decent (if spendy) dinner. The Zest Bar is more like a golf club with less expensive entrees and the same selection of drinks and beers. Room service is expensive but good if you have to spend the night in your room on conference calls. Most of the time, the rooms are very quiet and very peaceful. I'd recommend avoiding the '01 rooms as inconsiderate guests who shout in the hallway can be heard in your room. I've also had to deal with the noise from the marquee once or twice, but closing the windows usually solves that problem. As part of a proper golf resort, there is a full 18 hole course which I have not played. There is a nice driving range that has allowed me to burn off a little frustration by smacking little white golf balls off into the distance (or not so far into the distance because I suck!) and the Pro Shop does have "house clubs" you can borrow. There is plentiful parking and it's free. The speedbumps on the drive are awful, so go slow! There are only two things that keep this property from getting that fifth star: - It is a couple of miles from the Norwich city center which means cellular coverage is poor. A taxi from the rail station will run about £10. - The hotel is not air-conditioned. Rooms are outfitted with radiators (that work well) and a three-speed rotating fan (that is great for pushing the warm air around).

My party of 4 and 2 dogs were welcomed and a table had been reserved next to a fantastic warm fire. The menu had something for everyone and was much better than other pub menus that we have had during the course of the week. Food was fabulous. Staff were sooo friendly and attentive without being condescending (I hate that!). The layout of the pub restaurant was lovely. If you wanted privacy you could have it but we were happy to have a sociable evening with other patrons and the staff. So glad we ignored the very old review. We have booked to return on Friday!

Surly appalling service and cold food *AVOID AT ALL COST OR YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED*…read more My wife and friends had Sunday lunch today at The Swan in Horning. The experience was less than satisfactory from the very start. When greeted "a loose description" I asked if we could sit anywhere. The surly response from the female server was "Are you eating", to which I said yes please although we haven't booked. This was met with a look of contempt and faux scratching at a piece of paper and frowning to suggest they couldn't seat us, but then behold they could fit us in, I will add there was no one in the restaurant seated at this point and it still wasn't full an hour and 20 minutes later when we left. We sat and the drinks order was taken. Upon me taking jest from my friend, my wife apologised to the server and his response was "it's OK I have to deal with people like that all of the time". In hindsight this was not a polite comment meant in a lighthearted way as we were to discover. The drinks came and we ordered our food, A trio of meats sharing platter, the pork and a Beef Wellington, I will add no price was displayed on the specials board for the Beef, which I thought was a legal requirement? 30 minutes later the platter came out, we were going to wait for a few minutes but started as there was no sign of the other food. The only food on our plates remotely warm was the carrots, bearing I mind the platter plate had been preheated as had our plates. Having waited for 30 minutes already we started to eat it. We were the first people to be served Sunday lunch, so how it was cold I have no idea. The other food came out 5 to 10 minutes later, also cold. We mentioned this to Brandon and he offers to replace the vegetables, to which we collectively said no thank you as we had waited 30 to 40 minutes already. He later felt the need to correct us as to the time we had waited and it had only been 20. I appreciate this may be what the system says, but this would be dependant on it being ordered straight away, which it clearly hadn't. When the bill check we had a coffee and the 2 "hot" cold chocolates taken off the bill. I mentioned I didn't think this was acceptable as all of the food was cold, to which we were corrected and contradicted by Brandon again. Personally I am appalled at the distinct lack of customer service, no real apology and cold food served as first service in your restaurant. I would also add when we left it was still not full. I am sure you will receive contradictory versions of this from the staff in question, however I would then happily put you in touch with my wife and 2 friends for their input into this. It was certainly not money well spent and we will not be returning. *DO NOT EAT HERE*

Sundowner Holiday Park is one of the best sites that I have been to on Hemsby having been there 4…read moretimes this was the first time that I've been on this site which I was there on August 1st 2009. The site has both chalets and caravans a lot of the chalets are privately owned which their is some people who live on the site. The site is actually a nice place the cars must be parked in the car park area and not on the grass your car can be trusted on the site. In the chalets you get what you normally get with the chalet in ours was 1 king size bed and 2 medium sized beds, it had a little kitchen along with the toilet and bathroom. The front room had a TV but we couldn't get channel 5 as the Hemsby area has problems getting that channel. On site is a launderette it's not that big but it's a decent size. Around the site are 3 arcades with people who are friendly and always happy to help. A cafe is located on the site called the Holiday Diner which was an American themed restaurant which I never went in their though. There's a store which is open early in the morning till 6pm which sells loads of different stuff. It has a pub and club near the Sundowner park it also shows Sky Sports in the bar a pint costs £1.50 there. The Hemsby site is not that far from Sundowner Park it's just a walk down a path which has a funfair, more arcades, gift stores and a nice cafe near the beach. The Sundowner Holiday Park is a nice area it's peaceful and has some nice people around the area. The site is actually located on the Newport site of Hemsby if your staying at Great Yarmouth on Holiday then this site is worth staying at it's nice, clean and tidy. Great Yarmouth is about 8 mile away from Hemsby if you don't feel like driving there is always the bus which comes around regularly.
