The location of the property was very good. A short approx 15 mins walk into the town and the seafront. Also an ideal location for visiting lovely places around Sheringham. Free private parking was good. Well organised check-in. Staff Kate was very nice, friendly and helpful if needed. It looks like our smallest room Holt and much bigger Colombo next to ours room have been renowned compared some pictures on website. Comfy beds. Bathroom and toilet clean, even though the shower might need a little bit more care. WiFi no problem. Simple continental breakfast with self-service was ok. However, if you prefer having coocked or English Breakfast, the restaurant next-door offers it. In general, we enjoyed our stay In Sheringham very much.

The wallpaper in the bathroom was falling off. The bedding looked lovely and clean but on retiring the smell was horrendous, due to the actual pillows and duvet smelling of dirty sweat and greasy hair from continued use without being cleaned. The shower was difficult to get the correct water temperature. We paid £106.00 to stay for one night, this was a rediculous amount to pay for the terrible conditions. The only thing that we can honestly say that was really good was the lady that showed us to our room, she was able to get the door unlocked for us but we were unable to lock it. The light switch was outside of the door for the inner hallway, the neighbouring rooms guests continuously switch the light on and off which caused disturbance whilst trying to sleep. The windows were wide open when we arrived, we realised why this needed to be when we closed the windows to go out, on our return the smell in the room was awful. There was carpet laid over dirty carpets. Seriously would never stay there again.

Never received the pre check in instructions despite e-mailing the owner twice Sunday and saying I would not be contactable because travelling on the Monday, got no response to e-mails and even checked prior to leaving Monday morning - hassle. The room & bathroom wasn't cleaned for the 4 nights I was there, not were any complimentary teabags/coffee/sachets/milk sachets replaced through my stay - in fact the room remained as I left it each day, so clearly no cleaning was done. Breakfast was poor - do it yourself and the quality of the food was poor, including just getting whatever wasn't eaten the day before out the following morning - who knows how long some of the scones, crumpets and croissants had been around. Cheap reformed ham and reformed chicken slices in tupperware containers, very unappetising. Tried some the first morning, didn't repeat the experience and stuck with cereal after that. Not sure I got the room I booked as differs from the photo but room was comfortable enough. No fire evacuation posters anywhere, no fire exit signs - thought these were a legal requirement - no welcome packs in rooms, so no information about anything related to the property, the stay etc etc.

3 night stay, easy check in/out, friendly staff, buffet breakfast had a good selection of pastry based food, and cereals, toast etc. We stayed in the 'Cromer' room which has a memory foam bed, my wife did not like it. Good shower (in bath) One slight downside was that the radiator could not be turned down or off. As this room faces the road it meant needing to keep the dg window shut to keep traffic noise out (this said, road not particularly busy late at night).

Room was huge, clean, presented well and in keeping with trying to keep the room as modern as possible. Pity the wooden wardrobe had to be in there. King sized bed was comfy and bedding was clean and kept us warm. Room and bathroom temperature were good. Shower was functional. Kettle/tea/coffee etc. are always welcome. Continental breakfast had a lot of choice and was plentiful. Manager was very friendly and welcoming. Price was great.

The breakfast was excellent with so much choice for a continental breakfast, very good coffee too. The stand out for me was the Very large white towels which were a great surprise and well received usually the ones in many previous stays in other higher rated hotels turn out to be so small, I now always take my own with me just in case but they were definitely not needed this time well done Mount Lavinia. If we were in the area again I wouldnt hesitate to stay with you again. Only other comment would be if you were to upgrade the shared lounge area furniture you would have five stars on everything.

This B&B is the definition of cheap and cheerful. Comfortable room with everything we needed, but definitely no frills. Great location with the shop and a pub who serve food including a fantastic cooked breakfast next door. 10 minute walk into Sheringham, which is a lovely little town and the same to the steam train. The B&B is unserviced, you collect the key from the shop and breakfast is continental and help yourself - but as said, the pub next door does a great Full English. A contact number is provided for any issues and wifi code is in the room. As a comfortable, convenient place to stay when out sightseeing it’s spot on!
