Barrie and Ben greeted me with a very warm welcome. Everyone and everthing was very welcoming. It was a very comfortable stay in a beautiful and quite location only a few yards from the beach and the town centre.
Breakfast and Dinner were absolutely lovely and truly first class. I will definately stay again at Willow Tree Lodge Hotel.

Very Nice !!!
Nice hotel, good position, for double room at £75.00 it was good. Fruit and water in room very nice touch. Bathroom bit on the small size but adequate.

A Gem of a hotel in Great yarmouth!!!
We could not have picked better. I am so pleased that I checked this hotel on line and no wonder past reviews had been so flattering. It is absolutely charming hotel, close to the sea but still with great access to the town. Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean with wonderful touches that made this hotel special. This topped with the service provided by the owners, from the provision of glasses and chocolate for our champagne to driving us to the station, was beyond the service you normally expect to receive. I would not hesitate in recommending this to anyone and look forward to returning again soon.

The Willow Tree Retreat of Relaxation
Was very impressed- met with a smile by Barry and very accommodating. We stay in Rm 7 and it was perfect could see the sea from our room. Stayed overnight and in the morning after a lovely full breakfast we packed and check out. Barry kindly kept our bags so we could have a couple of extra hours on the sea front! When back to collect them Barry kindly booked us a taxi to the station(and blessBen who offerd to drive us). I would recommend this establisment to anyone wanting to relax-fruit and still water in room was brilliant. My only issue was could not plug the kettle direct from where it was placed- but instead when plugged was on the floor. Other than that very small issue all was absolutely superb. We will be back Barry & Ben- thanks for a lovely stay.

EXCELLENT STANDARD!!
This guesthouse is ideally located just outside the busy town of Great Yarmouth. The hotel is spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated. A lot of thought has gone into the interior design. The bedroom was beautiful with 4 windows, 2 of which faced the sea. Breakfast was lovely(full English) and our Barry and his Partner were perfect hosts. We will definately go back.

The Willow Tree, WOW, what a find!!!
On arrival we were offered a choice of 2 rooms, both with sea views and chose room 4 with the seating area right by the bay window. Barry was complete professional: attentive, polite, friendly but not intrusive. We took a bottle of bubbly as our teat, and on return from exploring the town found it had been placed in a cooler, on ice with glasses supplied along with the fresh fruit basket. Now that's service ! Had 2 very comfortable nights in the only bed that can rival our own comfort, and a full English that easliy got us back home. Don't bother looking further for your room, all you need is here. Big Thank You to Barry and Benny, you've got it right.

You couldn't ask for any more.
We arrived later than expected and were greeted by the owner who showed us up to our room. We were really surprised to find a beautifully laid out room with a lovely bed and furniture and a travel cot as requested. It's the small things that matter and we really felt that the owner had gone out of his way by suppling baby wipes. The room was really comfortable and breakfast was really great with selection of different foods. We would definately stay at this hotel again.

Simply the best!!
What lovely people who could not do enough to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The room was furnished to a high standard, situated at the top of the hotel with views to the sea and sports pitch, where on a rainy day my wife sat reading and watch the sea as I watched a thrilling live football match. The hotel is sutuated close to the beach, restaurants and shopping area but still peaceful. There are excellent road connections to tour area. We will be going back.

This is the third visit we have made to Great Yarmouth and have stayed at the Willow Tree Lodge Hotel each time. We are always given a friendly reception from the staff who are very helpful. The rooms are warm and comfortable, very clean and tidy. The towels are changed everyday which is a great help as we have lots of children with us as we are from a school in Russia. The staff are very good with the children and most helpful,serving the children a variety of English meals cooked especially for the children encouraging them to taste various types of particular english meals. We all enjoyed ourselves here and hope to come back again this year.

GREAT VALUE,
Very friendly welcome, which continued throughout our stay. Fantastic room, well it was more like a suite really. Were going back in May for a wedding and will be booking the same room again. No complaints at all.

Paid £53.00 for a double room with a large en-suite. Excellent value for money.We were greeted by the propritor on arrival shown to our room etc.We arrived late afternoon & went at the hippodrome in the evening & then for an indian at planet papadom. The show was a christmas spectacular & the food at the indian was excellent.We retired to our room at 22.00 hours. The room was warm & we both had a comfortable sleep. We both had the full english for breakfast with coffee, fruit juice & toast. You could also help yourself to a choice of cerials. This is our second overnight stay in Great Yarmouth & would stay at the Willow Tree Lodge again.The only negatives were that the room was cold on arrival, the hot water was luke warm & the shower head would not stay in its holder in order to have a shower. We did both have a bath before we went to bed & the water was hot then.

Very good value for money and will definately be coming back.

Stunning
Upon arrival, I knew the hotel would be good.
The friendlyness of the owner, the warmth of the interior was enough but it just got better. I was given Room 5, over looking the sport arena one side, the sea front the other. The room ozzed quality, with access to internet. truly a first class place to stay, whether 1 night like my self or days/weeks, it was perfect.

Thank you for your kindness, for taking me to the train station at such an early time, and than you for the croissants every morning. I really liked to stay here and if I come back to great Yarmouth I'll definitely stay here again.
And if you go to La Rochelle one day, come to see me!! My mother has a shop there called "Caroll" its in the town centre behind the town hall. We'd be glad to see you.

Personal Service, Willow Tree Lodge gave me a higher standard of accommodation than i was expecting for the price. It had nice touches such as fruit bowl and electric fan. When they saw that i had bought a pint of milk, a mini-fridge appeared in my room. Wireless internet was free-although impossible to click up in my room, so I had to use the lounge. Home cooked evening meals were great. Much better and cheaper than Travelodge(3for2 offer was excellent value)

A Good Seaside Stopover, Attentive and pleasant owners, offered tea or coffee on morning arrival. Good clean accommodation. Lots of thought had gone in to the room to make it stylish. Our superior room had a selection of fruits, but no shower products. Shower room small but adequate.

This is an excellent hotel to stay at in Great Yarmouth. It is in an excellent position for all attractions. The rooms are excellent altough i did ask for the four poster bed we were allocated another room at the top of the hotel, which I have to say was absolutly beautiful, the people who meet us were ever so nice and carried our bags upstairs and made us ever so welcome. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a nice, comfortable hotel close to everything. Recommend another visit.

3 Night Break, we found the proprietors Barry & Ben to be most pleasant & helpful, meeting us at the front gate and taking our case to our room. The room was more than we expected, very clean with all the facilities we needed. The food was spot on, very hot and plenty of it, you could'nt have asked for better service from Barry & Ben, nothing was too much trouble. I would definately recommend this accommodation to anybody and will certainly stay here again.

A small but extremely friendly and clean hotel would recommend. After a hiccup with the booking which was my fault the service to put this right was exceptional, the on arrival the hotel manager had saved us a parking space and greted us on first name terms, the room itself was small but very clean with bottled water and fresh fruit in the room, even though we were only there for one night we weretreated like family and this was so obvious that all there guests were treated this way by the way in which there was a good"family atmosphere" between staff and all guests at breakfast which i must add were superb freshly cooked to order and hot all in all a real friendly, value for money, hotel if i had to go to yarmouth again i wouldnt hesitate in booking in there again.

TOP QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRIME LOCATION.
From the minute we walked in the door we felt welcome. All staff were very friendly, the food was excellent, and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Within a very short walk to the sea front and from the rooms you can seee the sea from your bedroom window. Would I stay thier again or recommend Willow Tree Lodge? Definitely yes!

We can’t fault the service at the Willow Tree Lodge. Mr Santiago and Mr Webber were perfect hosts, bringing us menus for local takeaways and then providing us with crockery and cutlery on our first night when we arrived late into the evening. The room we stayed in was lovely; beautiful bedding and décor with a welcoming fruit bowl and bottled spring water. The breakfast was really good too and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. Thank you for a wonderful few days

Thank you so much for making Emma and James's stay so wonderful, they thoroughly enjoyed it and felt very treasured and looked after by both of you. They thought the food was fantastic and the room unbelieveably gorgeous. When they looked at your room charges and could not believe how reasonable they are. They come up to see me quite often and are thrilled to have found such a brilliant plact to stay and of course I am happy as this means I will see my daughter much more often, so many thanks
