This is a very good hotel to stay at when in Lowestoft. Its a 15mins walk from the town but there is ample car parking accros the road.

What a wonderful place, such a warm friendly welcome from the owners,which carried on throughout our stay, fantastic spotless room, The breakfasts were amazing, such a great choice, and delicious homemade jams (the strawberry jam was delicious) a really relaxing break. Absolutely superb, we look forward to returning.

Our visit... More

We arrived the following day to find a... More

I have been using Britten House whenever I am in Lowestoft for the past 3 years and have yet to write a review. So I thought, there's a first time for everything!! I was intrigued to find out what other guests thoughts on this 5 star establishment, as I have never found a fault. I was surprised to see such... More
