The Dukes Head Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed at The Dukeโ€™s Head Hotel for three nights & on registering, we were given a complimentary upgrade. The room was lovely with a lounge, bedroom & bathroom, being very comfortable & clean. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Our booking included breakfast & there was a wide & good choice. We had an evening meal on our first night which was well presented & delicious. The hotel is ideally situated for getting around Kingโ€™s Lynn. The only disadvantage is that although there is parking behind the hotel, it is a pay car park(ยฃ15 per 24hrs). The bath was quite deep which could be a problem for anyone with a physical disability to get in & out of, the shower being over the bath & was quite slippery. However, I would definitely stay here again if visiting Norfolk."
