Breakfast was excellent in terms of choice and quality. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Very welcoming. The atmosphere was as you might expect from a very old property. Decor in public rooms was fine and in our bedroom adequate. Our room was adequate in terms of bedroom size, but the shower room/toilet was bijou to say the least! However, one can understand it is difficult to adapt such an old property to meet modern standards.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham offers accommodation next to a beautiful Anglican church. You’ll also find a shared lounge and garden to relax in.

House was super clean and owners were super accommodating and helpful.
I made a mistake on the booking and they sorted it generously, efficiently and didn't
make any drama.
They answered our question very quickly and were very welcoming. House was
cozy even though it was February. We're all very happy and didn't want to leave.

Spacious and beautifully appointed house with lovely features from the 16th century onwards. Our host Justin was so helpful and made us feel completely at home attending to any possible need we might have. Great to be able to look after our bikes inside.

Little Walsingham is pretty, no doubt about it, but there is not a lot going on there apart from the RC and Anglican shrines. there's a tea shop, a shrine shop and two pubs and a farm shop, pus the gournds of the ruined abbey. It's fine as a base for the north norfolk coast and I spent most of my time in Cley and Blakeney.

Pleasant little village with an excellent farm shop and Tea shop “Digest and Rest” which made fabulous cakes. The Black Lion hotel serves excellent food and looks a very comfortable place to stay. The village has a remarkable history and is an exalted pilgrimage destination. Everyone very friendly.

A very interesting village with tudor houses, locals cared for their village as all frontages were adorned with beautiful potted colourful flowers.
Not for individuals with walking difficulty as uneven footpaths.
Plenty of parking but village does get very busy with tourists by 11:00.
I used the pub in the square which was more homely and less chaotic rather than the one next door to Elham house. This was my personnal choice.

Fantastic village with a great pub at its heart.
Fantastic village with a great pub at its heart. Would say the beating heart of the community. Its place on the map established many years ago as a place of worship and pilgrimage. Villiage life and religious heritage both go very much hand in hand.

The village is picturesque and the surroundings are lovely.
The village is picturesque and the surroundings are lovely. There is a b=narrow-gage railway line which is a joy - it goes to the seaside nearby at Wells Next the Sea.
The village is the site of the Anglian Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and 1 mile away, of the R.C. Shrine with the Slipper Chapel and a splendid new church. There is also an Orthodox Church in the Village, which is usually open, and has interesting icons.
The village is consumed by the Shrines, so if you are not interested in these things, best to stay nearby and visit for the day. Not a good place to stay if you are not religious-minded! There is little else to see or do. A choice of tea-rooms and shops with church-related keep-sakes etc. but nowhere really to get a meal, especially I the evenings.

A nice, traditional pub with a good breakfast. Great to have a room with the extra space of a lounge area, it was really comfy. Little Walsingham is a lovely village in a good location for exploring the area. Can recommend visiting the Abbey, the peaceful Shrine gardens and a trip on the little steam train to Wells.The beach at Brancaster is fabulous, quiet and tranquil in June.
Location is perfect for exploring all the north Norfolk coastline. Peaceful and quiet village. Cottage was warm as good heating system, beautifully presented. All utensils and pots etc needed for cooking our meals. Generous area for parking. Plenty of towels and bedding. Books, games and hairdryer available if needed. Nespresso coffee pod machine. Would stay again!
Such a warm welcome on arrival with check-in being professional and calm. The building throughout very clean, the room smart and spacious and, again, very clean. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and in such a relaxed setting. Only one night spent here, but I would not hesitate in recommending the Black Lion Hotel. Thanks to all staff.
I stayed here as I was volunteering at a triathlon at holkham hall. Absolutely lovely little hotel and was greeted by some very friendly staff. Separate toilet and bathroom, which was expected. More than happy with the facilities and the cleanliness of the property. Few little issues but would definitely book again!
Possibly the worst breakfast I have had in a hotel or B & B. Not a proper continental breakfast, cereals stored in plastic containers could have been months old and looked that way in some cases, and bread or croissants from rusty old bread bins is not what we would have expected.
This hotel was a real find as it is so beautifully done and the staff are very welcoming. We had dinner and breakfast and the chef is exceptional! Our dinner was very delicious and if we are ever back in this area again, we will most definitely be staying. Thank you!
I stayed here several years ago and thus I knew that it is simple accommodation - a retreat for those on pilgrimage not a 5 star hotel. I was so pleasantly surprised to find out that it has been fully refurbished. My bedroom was very comfortable indeed..
The whole setting is very peaceful; basically it seems to be a place for religious retreats and meetings, that also welcomes other guests- so not exactly a "normal" hotel. Breakfast was good but only served between 8 am and 9 am.
Good food, excellent attention to details, well prepared room and courteous and friendly staff throughout - there aren't many hotels where the cleaner asks if you enjoyed your evening when you meet her on the stairs !
