Would stay again

In our 2-night stay we had no contact with anyone else at the hotel, but could hear othwr guests a little from our room. Check-in was easy with guidance sent in advance, and the room was cleaned well during the day. The accomodation was clean and comfortable, although the common areas were unlit during the day so quite dark. A small amount of shampoo and shower gel was provided, and the room had a kettle. Street parking outside the hotel was free and plentiful (May bank holiday). The hotel is a short walk from the seafront, and a high street with many shops and places to eat.

I spent 3 nights and overall had an enjoyable stay. The room was a good size, very clean, and the bed very comfy. Only slight disappointment was that the advertised fridge was not in the room; I was expecting this to keep drinks cold and for packed lunches. Check in was done online and very easy. Whilst this was quick and efficient it meant the personal touch was lacking and I did not see anyone else during my stay. Great location on the promenade with pubs, restaurants, and the station within walking distance.

Impersonal, but good value. Visiting housekeeper

Historically interesting, the house was managed at a distance, with access via text message, etc. Most of the reviews related to a different period when breakfasts were served and people greeted you. Bed was comfy apart from one awkward spring, but because of the heat the place needed a really good airing with all the windows open for a while. The cleaning housekeeper was great, and ran after us with something we had left. Glad to visit and good value.

Smashing B&B -Briiten’s

Great little B&B in Lowestoft ideal for short business trips, the rooms and breakfast is a steal at £55. Worth every penny and views in a morning are great!! Peter

Lovely stay

After a long day of travelling and working I arrived at Britten House early evening. I was let in by Colin, shown my room, given all the details I needed, and even provided with some advice on the local area to inform my evening run. The room was spacious, clean, and had a nice two seater sofa. The bed is very soft which worried me as I'm used to firmer mattresses but I slept wonderfully and comfortably. Breakfast was really nice and cooked to my liking. If I am down that way again I will definitely be booking back in.

The hosting was great, breakfast was cooked to order and perfect each time. Parking is limited but there is a huge car park across the road at 5 pounds a day one can not complain. We stayed on the first floor and had a view of the ocean and the room was huge and spacious with a fridge and a couch along with the large bed. The bathroom was amazing with the most modern tub shower massage and radio and cool lighting. Right on the ocean and the beaches.
