Stay beside the coastal marshes at Stiffkey

The Red Lion is a traditional village pub with guest accommodation and dining in Stiffkey, on the Norfolk Coast. The historic inn combines a welcoming bar and locally sourced food with ten en-suite bedrooms and two suites, providing a comfortable base for exploring the village, surrounding countryside and nearby Norfolk Coast Path.

The guest rooms occupy purpose-built accommodation behind the pub, with private entrances and either balconies or garden terraces overlooking the Stiffkey Valley. Breakfast is included, and dog-friendly rooms are available. The pub itself offers relaxed dining, local ales and a welcoming place to return to after a day exploring the coast.

From the village, footpaths lead towards Stiffkey Saltmarshes, where tidal creeks, open marshland and wide coastal skies characterise this part of North Norfolk. The Norfolk Coast Path follows the coastline through Stiffkey, connecting the village with Wells-next-the-Sea to the west and Morston to the east, with opportunities for shorter walks and longer coastal journeys.

Nearby Blakeney National Nature Reserve offers further opportunities to explore saltmarshes, coastal habitats and wildlife, while Wells Beach and Holkham Beach are within reach for longer outings. The surrounding countryside forms part of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, making The Red Lion a well-positioned base for discovering North Norfolk independently.
