    A fabulous place to stay - both The Penthouse and Kings Lynn!

    Beautiful apartment, just as described, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and lovely views from the windows. Excellent location near the waterfront in the beautiful old town, with historic buildings, shops and a wide range of eateries just a short distance away, in all directions. The owner was very pleasant and helpful. We loved our first visit to Kings Lynn and our stay at The Penthouse enhanced the whole visit. A two night stay was a lovely taster, but we need to return to explore further!

    Photos showed balcony area and facilities listed washing machine. These were all located on other levels, separate from the accomodation. Details in the apartment suggested these were available on request so sure it would have been easily remedied but personally I am just uncomfortable asking! Details and photos just suggested available for penthouse alone.

    Excellent location and lovely accomodation

    Probably the best place I have stayed in King's Lynn
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • One-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 7 nights

    There is nothing that I didn't like. Access to the property is via two flights of stairs (not a problem for me, but might be a consideration for others), and it is important to remember to lock the street-access door. As I didn't drive, I can't comment on parking (but note that there is parking nearby.

    I visit King's Lynn about 3-4 times a year (I run an archaeological project there), and have stayed in numerous hotels, guest houses, and self-catering accommodation. The Penthouse is the simply the best place I have stayed in. It is comfortable, is in an excellent location, and is very good value for money. (note The Penthouse is pictured just to the right of the Custom House in the night-time photograph), whilst the day-time photograph is the view from the property).

    The kitchen sink and fridge salad drawer had bits of food in, 2 cups had tea/coffee stains on the outside, shelf in bathroom had dirty marks on it, we stripped the bed on leaving and the duvet had stains on it.

    Good location on the edge of the town centre, easy walking to local amenities, plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs to choose from, free parking space allocated in car park just around the corner from accommodation, the balcony was great for sitting out in the evening, there was a music festival on opposite so we had a great view, well equipped apartment if you fancy cooking but plenty of places to eat out for breakfast etc. would recommend to family and friends.

    Elevation comes at a price, there are two steepish stair cases leading up to the flat. Not a problem for most but it would be too much for people with any mobility problems. The shower head fixing needs some attention.

    The property is exceptionally positioned; elevated, in the centre of the old historic town and with its own parking spot nearby. A very short walk takes you into the main shopping area and you are very adjacent to the quayside. The view from the dining table is wonderful, the open plan layout is very spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    The apartment was ideally located on the edge of the town centre with a short walk to all the shops. Great views of the river and the old custom house. The town centre was clean and had a good variety of shops. It was a good base to explore the coast at Heacham and Hunstanton.

    Ironing facilities would be nice as my clothes got a few creases from being in the suitcase. Also some form of air conditioning. With the room being on the top floor it was very hot

    Really nice apartment with all needed facilities. I travel a lot for work so was nice to stay somewhere with a kitchen! Veronica was great with communication and explained the check in process so well. Will definitely be booking in the future
