We went revisiting our childhood seaside resort. 17 year's last visit. 3 soft drinks nearly 10.00. Very expensive. I wanted to see where they filmed yesterday.

Really enjoyed our nostalgic Jubilee stay at the Pier Hotel with genuine warmth, sense of occasion and superb service. Everything has a quality feel and purpose reflecting the accolade as Yesterday filmset and has even got 2 EV chargers outside. Recommended with super view along the golden sands of Gorleston.

We had a great stay here last year despite the gale force winds. This year with full sun on our balcony it is even better. The quality of our suite stands comparison with some of the best hotels we have stayed in round the World especially for the price. If I have a complaint it is that the portions served in the restaurant are huge.
