I had a lovely stay at the Shelbrooke hotel. The room offered a nice sea view despite a faint smell upon arrival, and although clean and nicely decorated, it lacked a bit of extra charm. Mark and Jacqui managed the hotel efficiently, though spotting one at reception in unkempt clothing was a little off. The location was excellent, perfect for exploring the Norfolk coast, with easy access to amenities. The dining experience was of high quality, and the facilities were top-notch. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
