Welcome

We’re just metres away from UK’s No1 and Europe’s 12 best beach as voted by TripAdvisor, close to the entrance of a historic harbour and at the heart of an unspoilt resort that never fails to charm visitors. The beautiful Broads and the fine city of Norwich are close by.

The Pier Hotel has 20 gorgeous bedrooms, a bright, elegant restaurant, a spacious lounge bar and popular wine bar. We also have an enviable reputation for our food and do a scrumptious coffee and cake for elevenses.

Come and see us, and meet our amazing, friendly team. We think you’ll find it special too.

Bedrooms

Our south-facing bedrooms overlook Gorleston beach, a broad swathe of golden sand that the 2019 TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Awards placed eighth in its top-ten UK beaches category. Our guests get to experience a glorious sunrise before anyone else in the country and film director Danny Boyle, who stayed with us for a month, described the beach as “one of the great secrets of England.”
