Wonderful location, with excellent facilities and a fantastic host. The room was immaculate and had everything. Fully stocked tea/coffee, complimentary biscuits etc. The bed was very comfortable and (like everything else), immaculately presented. Bathroom was spotless and modern, with an excellent shower. Our room had a lovely outdoor space too, which was equally nice. Continental breakfast was superb and has everything you could want. Cereal options, bread/toast likewise, a selection of cheeses, ham, boiled eggs, yoghurt etc. The communal lounge is lovely, with a pool table, books, large TV and access to the lakeside, which was equally lovely and relaxing. Clive (your host) is welcoming, friendly, informative and he really cares that you enjoy your stay with him. Parking was easy and the location was perfect for exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline. The beautiful Old Hunstanton beach is a 5 minute walk away, as local pubs and eateries. Lakeside is one be of those rare places that ends up being everything you hoped it would. This is one stay that you will want to return to.

Inside the bedrooms were large, probably twice the size of one of the chain hotels and way better than other B&Bs we have stayed at where there can be less than half a metre either side of the bed. There was a spacious lounge and dining area. There was even a free pool table in the lounge and free chilled water in the fridge. Outside, the garden decking bordered the lake, which belongs to the owner. there was also plenty of room to park The owner and his staff were friendly and very helpful. My husband uses a walking stick so the owner carried our bags upstairs without us having to ask and at the end of our stay he took them back down. Thr location was excellent. The beach was only five minutes away. There was a high quality restaurant around 400 metres away at the top of the road and another two about 800 meters away.

Having been to Lakeside before Clive is a great host and always goes above and beyond to help with anything including extra breakfast choices for when your vegan and vegetarian. We enjoyed games of pool in the lounge, meeting new guests and reading the book on the book shelf. The lake is beautiful to sit and watch the world go by and Clive gave us bread to feed the ducks at breakfast time and watch the babyy ducklings grow each day. We love staying here as it is a little out of the way from the hustle and bustle however it's near enough to walk to the beach and the bach hut that serves amazing food and great ice cream too, and just up the road are a couple of pubs to walk to as well. We cannot wait to come back 😀 Thank you Clive 👍

The location was perfect, we walked to most places and drove to see English Heritage sites close by. The lady at the B and B was most helpful with suggestions of eating establishments, the best fish and chips ever at Henrys to mention one. Our accomodation was clean and comfortable, the bedroom and en suite suprisingly large and bright. The lake was beautiful and a peaceful place to sit and watch the ducks Breakfast was fantastic, a buffet breakfast with everything one could wish for, fruit salad, yoghurts, a huge variety of cereals, breads, pastries, crumpets, jams and spreads along with all juices, and coffees and teas as required, a perfect start to the day.

Everything was as advertised and exceeded our expectations. Our room was spacious and well appointed. We were greeted by the host, who made us welcome and gave a guided tour of the property. Nothing was too much trouble. My friend enjoys a crusty roll, brie and cucumber for her breakfast. Clive went out of his way to purchase these items. The breakfast generally was superb. A wide choice of pastries, bread and my especial favourite, fruit and fruit salad . The coffee was freshly brewed and delicious.
In all honesty there was nothing about this b and b which could be faulted.

An absolutely stunning place to stay! The location is perfect and everything is within walking distance (the beach, Old Town café, pub restaurants and a lovely walk down to the more touristy side). The Lakeside is tucked away and super quiet. If you love the seaside but would prefer not to be woken by squawking seagulls at the crack of dawn this is the place for you. We were warmly welcomed by Clive for an early check in. He was just fab! You can tell how well thought out everything is with walking guides ready for guests and a lounge area full of things to do. He's also on hand for brilliant recommendations, particularly the best fish and chips you can get in Hunstanton. The room was lovely, bright and airy. A fan was provided and there was an ample supply of tea and coffee. The breakfast options were wide-ranging. Some may prefer a cooked breakfast but the local café is a short walk away and opens at 9, and they do an amazing cooked breakfast if that's what you would prefer. Overall, a lovely tucked away place that we adored. We will definitely be coming here for our now annual Hunstanton trip. See you next year 👋🏾

Lakeside is a lovely bnb. We were greeted on arrival and given a tour of the place. We were in room 1 on the ground floor which has access to a lovely private courtyard garden (a real bonus). The room was great in size. Comfy bed and we both slept well despite how hot it was! A cot was provided for our little and he slept through the night! A great selection of food for breakfast, perfect for those who like a continental breakfast. I have coeliac disease and was given gf cornflakes and bread which was brilliant. Lakeside is a short walk away from Old Hunstanton Beach or a short drive away from the main Hunstanton and shops - perfect for a weekend away. Throughly recommend.
Nothing we didn't like - had a great stay.

This was a beautiful little B&B with tranquil lake terrace. The location was perfect with a 10 min walk to the beach and a few local restaurants. The owner Clive was very welcoming, greeting us on arrival, showed us around and gave us a little history of the building. The perfect place to escape from the busy daily life, would highly recommend!
Not any fault of the owner/property but getting a taxi to venture further out of the town was really difficult, we would recommend pre-booking a local taxi in advance if you have any specific places you want to visit.

The family room is fabulous with a wonderful view over the lake. We received a very warm welcome and the children appreciated this too. We enjoyed playing pool and feeding the ducks. Lovely continental breakfast. Great location for Old Hunstanton beach. A thoroughly relaxing break and possibly the best b and b we have stayed in. So glad we booked two nights. We can't wait to return.
The second single bed in the family room is a fold out bed and was not comfortable for either of our children (over 6 years). In retrospect, we should have checked this before booking. Access to recycling bins would be helpful.

I booked this for a mini break for my friend and I. We booked the family room, knowing it had separate sleeping options. The room was lovely! It overlooked the lakeside where there was a variety of water fowl. So for someone like myself, who loves birding and photography, this was a dream, especially with the sitting area, looking out over them all. We had the nicest time. We walked to the Old Hunstanton beach via the golf course after checking in (so very close!), and had some food at the local pub. The following day we ventured out to Blakeney, Holkham and Wells next the Sea in the hopes of seeing the Seals, ending with a stop at the local hotel, The Lodge, for dinner. We walked back from dinner both evenings, and on a clear night, the sky was absolutely incredible, filled with stars. So for any keen astronomers, or romantics who loved to sit and watch the stars, you'd love it. From a previous visit to the Old Hunstanton Beach - there's also great birdlife for any birders out there. Clive was a great host, very friendly, helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. I really hope to visit again soon!
