Stay at a historic seafront hotel overlooking Gorleston Beach
Pier Hotel is a traditional seafront hotel at Harbour's Mouth in Gorleston-on-Sea, overlooking the wide sandy beach and the entrance to Great Yarmouth's historic harbour. Dating from 1897, the Victorian hotel occupies a prominent position beside the promenade, with views across the North Sea and the mouth of the River Yare. Its distinctive coastal setting provides an appealing base for a seaside break, exploring the Norfolk Coast and discovering the surrounding landscape on foot.
The hotel offers individually furnished en-suite guest rooms, with many overlooking Gorleston Beach or the harbour entrance. Accommodation combines comfortable beds with modern bathrooms, televisions, tea and coffee-making facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi and other practical amenities. Guests can enjoy meals in the hotel's restaurant, relax in the spacious Beach Bar or visit the In Vino Veritas wine bar. The restaurant serves a selection of freshly prepared dishes, while outdoor promenade seating provides an attractive place to enjoy refreshments overlooking the coast.
Directly outside the hotel, Gorleston Beach stretches south along a broad sandy shoreline backed by a traditional promenade and coastal gardens. Visitors can explore the seafront, watch vessels entering and leaving the River Yare or follow the Norfolk Coast Path along the coast towards Hopton-on-Sea. The nearby Gorleston Pavilion Theatre and surrounding streets offer further opportunities to discover the character and maritime heritage of this historic seaside town.
Beyond Gorleston-on-Sea, visitors can explore Great Yarmouth, with its historic waterfront, sandy beaches and traditional seaside attractions. Inland, The Broads National Park offers a contrasting landscape of rivers, wetlands, nature reserves and quiet waterways. With its comfortable accommodation, restaurant dining and exceptional position overlooking the beach and harbour, Pier Hotel makes an attractive base for a coastal break or a longer stay exploring eastern Norfolk.
