I came to The Two Life Boats for work, as I was teaching a class that evening and then early at an event the following day. Honestly — I couldn’t have had a better stay. My room was gorgeous, the food and wine was outstanding and the staff were so attentive. I couldn’t stay for breakfast as I had to get to an event early, so they packed me a lovely lunch! The assistant manager so was so kind and was attentive to help me with my luggage down the stairs! The view was super lovely and I loved the facilities. I was so relieved I had a sea view. Extra care is always given to your stay, which is why I’ve booked again to come with my fiancé for our anniversary in June, and my parents to have a trip away in the summer for their anniversary - they deserve the very best with being full time carers. The only trouble I had was my shower was a little temper-mental (going hot and then cold) but I presumed it was to do with someone else having a shower at the same time maybe, it didn’t effect my stay and I’m sure it was just something very minor, but wanted to mention so it was sorted for future. Thank you all so much, it was such a lovely stay and I can’t wait for future visits!

Great Accommodation Value for Money.
Friendly welcoming on arrival. Twin Room with Sea view was small but had everything you needed. Beds were comfortable, and clean. Plenty of Tea/Coffee available in room. Overall we had a great stay. Breakfast was amazing and nothing too much trouble, if you needed anything. Staff very accommodating and nice. Fish and Chip evening meal was excellent! No carpark on site but there was one near by, so wasn't a problem.

Clean, comfortable room, great breakfast, excellent dinner, lovely staff who couldn't be more helpful and a gorgeous sea view. Right on sea front. No parking but can unload outside. Pay and display 2 minute walk which had spaces late September. Old building so narrow steep staircase inside or fire access stairs outside so probably not suitable if very poor mobility. Lovely place. Will definitely return.

Not worth the cost
Not worth the cost. On arrival asked to wait in what was almost a storage room to do the checkin. Room was cramped. Bathroom had a lock that could have been recycled from a barn. Grout on the tiles was grubby and mouldy in places. Very, very disappointed will never stay there again.

Love The Two Lifeboats
Love the Two Lifeboats, have stayed before. A late booking but the sea view was great, the room was quiet, the gluten free fish and chips in the restaurant was the best we've had Thank you. Will stay again, the staff are lovely, the breakfast was great - beautifully cooked. The floors are a bit uneven but it is not a modern built hotel and this is its charm.

I was the only guest due to the Covid scare at Christmas. It's a great location and a very nice pub. The landlady (Anna) was super nice and, overall, I enjoyed my overnight stay. Given it's location, it's not cheap, and there were a couple of minor bathroom issues which stopped me giving it a higher rating; the electric shower was poor and the bath didn't drain properly. I opted for the cooked breakfast, which was ok, but wasn't the premium experience I was told to expect; e.g. sausages were just the standard, pre-cooked type. Nice spot though, and very clean.

Wonderful place to stay
I stayed at The Two Lifeboats, in Sheringham for one night only, wishing I could have stayed longer. The room was small but very cosy, the staff were absolutely wonderful. I had dinner here too and was surprised by how quick the service was, with staff constantly on hand to answer any queries etc. Would definitely recommend a longer stay here.

The staff are very friendly, and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent, but, the room has damp marks on walls, mains socket on upside down, which is not advisable, and the shower tiles need a re grout as black in a lot of places and looks gruby, and a 2nd chair would have been nice in a double room, and overall, not value for money

Great location with the sea just feet away. Car parking a few yards away. Convenient for a walk along the seafront or a stroll into the town and it’s shops and restaurants.

Nice beachfront hotel
Lovely place to stay & being right on the front, easy access to the beach. It was also in the centre of town so easy access to other places to visit. We did eat in the restaurant which was nice food - only oddity was being asked to pay for our meal before it had been served. My other gripe is that despite having booked a table, we were given the worst table in the place. I was seated so close to the staff cleaning table that I couldn't move my chair or cut my food without touching the table. It was a real shame as it marred an otherwise enjoyable stay.

A really good place to stay. Ideal for access to the beach, shops or walking. Staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Very impressed with Charlie, efficient and made us felt welcome. The food was great, room was clean and airy. However, the bathroom let it down a bit. Although clean, could do with re grouting. Would definitely recommend and we plan to go again. the bathroom

The property has a great location, right next to the sea. We could see it from our bedroom window. The room was small but cosy. We ate in the bar on both nights of our stay. The fare is good pub grub. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Restful stay by the sea
We visited the lovely seaside town of Sheringham about a year and a half ago. The end of November, cold rainy weather and virtually no people around. It was delightful. Had a cozy room with a direct view of the sea. Such a nice time we headed there again for two days on our way north...the start of the tourist season and end of the school kid's holiday break, there were lots more people everywhere but the hotel was located at the end of the High Street and away from the crowds. Our room was a different one but still had a good view of the sea and nice sitting area. We had our meals in the restaurant on site, hearty breakfasts and drinks when we wanted. A stroll on the promenade when the weather cleared was delightful. It was the perfect place for real rest and relaxation. Friendly, helpful staff . Just one negative, the inside staircase leading up to the rooms is really a difficult climb. There is an outside flight of stairs that is much easier except when it rains.
