Need to invest some in plumbing. Bed really comfortable although my headboard became detached. Maybe get some sort of better tv channel supplier. No music channels with what they had. Great location only 20 min walk to some major supermarkets. All staff extremely helpful and pleasant apart from one who maybe needs some training. I mean who is the customer?? Breakfast and evening meals where really good.

Awful
The Jolly Sailor was a big disappointment from the moment I arrived. The sub title of ‘Fish on the Quay’ conjured up a feast of fresh fish dishes on an exciting menu. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case! In addition, the establishment offered parking which isn’t the case! The parking is on street parking which, if I had known, it would have stopped me from making the reservation. Co-incidentally, my car was damaged in the street! The accommodation is about as basic as a hostel. The room was cold, unwelcoming, basic and had a fairly revolting smell about it. The floor was covered in linoleum and the bed was barely comfortable. The bathroom was tired and in need of serious refurbishment. The noisy klargester randomly set itself off throughout the night. The box-work between the toilet and shower was falling away from the wall and you felt (possibly erroneously) that the whole area was grubby. Dinner was again disappointing. The ‘Cromer’ crab salad was more likely to have been pasteurised crabmeat and for some inexplicable reason the brown and white meat had been mixed together and placed back into a previously washed and re-used shell. When booking the accommodation, I paid for breakfast but, on enquiring about the breakfast hours, I was informed that breakfast was served from 9am. This was absolutely no use to me as I had to depart at 8am. To get a refund, I was told to take it up with the management. Unless you are desperate, don’t get fooled by the location.

Severe scolding
A scolding incident from excessively hot water was treated as it was my fault. I would suggest this hotel is dangerous to stay in

Our stay at the fish on the quay was disappointing, because our room was a lot smaller than expected, the bathroom itself made a loud noise when flushing the toilet, that lingered for a while, once using the shower the water took over 10 minutes to become warm even then it was luke warm, as well as leaving a smell of sewerage after every use, the radiator in the room clearly needed bleeding as only the bottom of the radiator was warm, the radiator also made a sound of running water frequently. The worst part of our stay was on the day of check out around 9:00am we believe a staff member attempted to unlock the door, but was unsuccessful due to myself locking the door with the key the previous night, if I had not have done this, the door would have been opened, which I think isn’t at all acceptable considering check out wasn’t until 11:00am. The area of the fish and the quay is nice but we will not be returning

The checking in staff were lovely,, the lady made the effort to explain everything,, they also moved me to another room because of a discrepancy,, the BnB,, courtyard and menu,, gave me the wow factor,, wished I'd dined there as well its a short walk from town,, the room was roomy and lots of nice shops for shopping The things why I didn't give 5/5* were becauase,, the shower didn't come on warm enough,, there's a Jolly sailor at the basin,, where I ended up all the way down there,, though the address had heybrige on it.. which made it look like a scam.. the bes slighty sloped down,, it was quite loud early hrs of the am and I didnt like how the manager greeted me in the am,, wasn't a greeting at all,, come across quite rude and wasnt keen on how she looked at me

Myself and 2 mates stayed at the Jolly Sailor Fish on the Quay last night. We received a very friendly welcome and were shown immediately to our rooms. Excellent and very old Pub with a historical feel - especially the staircase up to the rooms !!

From start to finish a truly memorable experience in every good way We had a 3 night break due to a wedding and was using the jolly sailor-fish on the quay as a central base for the wedding and all activities in the area We were greeted by variety with a lovely smile and helpful attitude and were asked if we wanted to go straight up to our room or would prefer a sit down and a drink first and as I had just driven for about an hour chose the latter took a look at the menu and also chose to have a light bite My option the ham sandwich with pickles came up well presented with crisps and a side salad on brown bread (and what a treat) ham off the bone and packed with flavour and in general all the food was excellent so much so that we chose to eat just there as reasonably priced and good value for the quality out of this world My compliments to the chief he knows his job thank you well done and it don’t stop there from the roast platter which could of easily fed a family of 4 and at £42 was terrifically good value and packed with choice and flavour far too much for us two breakfast another great experience quality and choice from a big breakfast to a light bite and healthy eating and at cafe prices WOW Having chilled and refreshed from our journey we ready to be shown to our room We were lead through part of the kitchen area to stairs which led to our rooms I was given the option of two rooms and although the smaller room overlooking the quay and the views of the boats amazing
