“Our little sanctuary by the sea arose from the ashes by taking a little talent and skill from each of my family members”.
Tucked away on a quiet, leafy avenue—just a flip-flop’s stroll from Great Yarmouth’s lively Golden Mile—Andover House Hotel is no ordinary seaside stay. Think Victorian elegance meets modern comfort, all wrapped up with genuine, home-grown hospitality.
Our beautiful Victorian building has been lovingly restored into a cosy adults-only hotel in Great Yarmouth. And yes—it’s a true family affair: Dad crunches the numbers, my husband keeps the walls standing tall, Mum makes sure everything sparkles, my brothers sort the tech gremlins, and I get the best job of all—welcoming wonderful guests and cheering on our brilliant team. After 20 years (and a lot of passion), we’ve created a place that feels more like home, where you’re treated like family from the moment you arrive.
With 27 carefully designed rooms spread across three floors (no lift, but let’s call it bonus exercise), you’ll find fluffy towels, thoughtful touches, and maybe even a cheeky upgrade. Every detail is fresh, neat, and well looked after. Our friendly team is always close by, ready to help however they can—one of the many reasons guests say we’re among the best hotels in Great Yarmouth.
At the heart of Andover House is our restaurant—one of the favourite places to eat in Great Yarmouth—serving bold yet homely dishes that keep both locals and guests coming back. Our chefs cook with love, creativity, and dedication—so expect plates that are as memorable as they are delicious. If you’re eating out in Great Yarmouth, we’d love to welcome you.
Location-wise, we’re just a short stroll to the beach, Britannia Pier, the casino, the Venetian Waterways, and the town centre. Our quiet street gives you the best of both worlds: close to the action yet calm enough to truly unwind. For anyone looking for Great Yarmouth accommodation that’s near the seafront but away from the crowds, we’re perfectly placed.
Above all, Andover House Hotel is about people—you, our guests. Whether you’re here for work or play, you’ll find comfy beds, spotless rooms, a friendly team, and a peaceful, childfree atmosphere (ages 13+). It’s no wonder so many guests return year after year—for the warmth, the welcome, and that special seaside escape.
