The Arrival & Initial Impressions (aka, Where Did I Park?)
Right, so first things first: finding the damn place. Google Maps was mostly helpful. And the "Car Park [on-site]" was a bonus, "Car Park [free of charge]" even better! And there was a place to park. Not exactly plentiful, but… it’s there. Don't expect valet parking, though – you’re on your own, folks.
The "Exterior corridor" experience was… well, it was an exterior corridor. Not exactly glamorous, especially after a long drive. But hey, at least I got some fresh air. And the “Check-in/out [express]” was appreciated, not wanting to spend an hour just trying to get a room.
Accessibility & Safety – Thankfully, Some Wins!
Okay, here’s where BrickSage actually shined. They've got a decent handle on accessibility. "Facilities for disabled guests" were present, which is a HUGE plus. I saw “Wheelchair accessible" mentioned online, and thankfully the “Elevator” did the job. The “Front desk [24-hour]” was also reassuring, you never know when you might need something. And, blessedly, “Safety/security feature”, “Smoke alarms” and "Fire extinguisher" are there. The “CCTV in common areas”, and "CCTV outside property" are present too. These are the things that actually matter when you're tired and just want to flop somewhere safe.
Rooms: The Good, The "Meh", and The Slightly Questionable
My room… was a room. It had all the basics: “Air conditioning,” “Alarm clock,” “Coffee/tea maker”, “Free bottled water” (which is a lifesaver, I drink water like a fish). The "Daily housekeeping" was a plus. The "Laptop workspace" was small, but it was there. There was a "Refrigerator" which was nice, but the “Desk” was a bit… cramped. I appreciated the “Non-smoking” status, too, as I don’t smoke.
Internet & the Modern World (aka, The Wi-Fi Saga)
“Internet access – wireless” – yes! And, praise be, “Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!” Though I should probably mention there was a slight issue of it randomly cutting out every now and then. Minor annoyance, but hey, nobody's perfect. The “Internet access – LAN” was available too, for those of you with old-school wired needs.
Dining & Drinking – The Real Adventure Begins…
This is where things get… interesting. The hotel's website touted a "Restaurant" and "Bar" – promising, right? My highlight? This is going to sound really weird but…the pizza. They had this pizza chef who got it. Thin, crispy crust, the perfect sauce-cheese ratio, actual basil leaves… It was genuinely unbelievable. The "A la carte in restaurant" was present too, even if the menu was… a little limited. They also had a “Poolside bar” which made the evenings a little better. However, the next day I’m ready to go and the restaurant’s "Breakfast [buffet]" was… not quite the pizza experience. The bacon was overcooked, the coffee was… aggressively bitter, and the "Buffet in restaurant" wasn't exactly brimming with excitement.
The "Happy hour" at the bar… well, let's just say the bartenders seemed vaguely aware of its existence. (And I swear, one of them was wearing mismatched socks… which, to be fair, I respect.)
Relaxation and Pampering – Spa…-ish?
The "Swimming pool [outdoor]" was the shining star. A definite highlight! The “Pool with view” was beautiful. I didn’t have time to try the "Spa", "Steamroom", or "Sauna", there was a “Gym/fitness” which was there too. I just saw it.
Things to Do (Beyond Staring at the Ceiling):
The hotel itself… well, it's a place to be. Beyond that, King's Lynn itself offers stuff to do.
South Gate – Does It Live Up to the Hype?
This is the question, isn't it? The place markets itself hard. So, here's my take: South Gate? It's… fine. It's a perfectly adequate hotel. It's a great place to stay if you're looking for somewhere to relax, especially with the pool!
Cleanliness & Safety – The Important Stuff
The "Anti-viral cleaning products" were present, which is a big relief. “Daily disinfection in common areas” was nice. The "Staff trained in safety protocol" was very comforting too. The "Hand sanitizer" was a welcome sight.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Extras
They had a “Concierge” but they seemed… perpetually busy? The "Cash withdrawal" was super useful. "Laundry service" was an option, which was nice to have. "Luggage storage" was there, too.
For the Kids (Because, You Know, Life)
I didn't personally travel with any kids, but I did see signs for a “Babysitting service”. They also had “Kids meal” options.
The Verdict – Would I Return?
Look, Unbelievable BrickSage Rooms Deals in King's Lynn has its quirks. It's not perfect. But the pizza… the pool… the staff who tried… it's got a certain… charm. Accessibility is good. Safety is good. So, would I go back? Maybe. Especially if they promise me that pizza again. And maybe if they promise to train the bar staff on the intricacies of "Happy Hour".
Bardøla Fjelltun: Unbelievable Geilo, Norway Escape You NEED to See!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously typed travel brochure. We're going to King's Lynn, and it's going to be… well, something. Let's call it a semi-planned descent into historical charm, punctuated by questionable food choices and the distinct feeling of being slightly out of place. Here we go, this whole thing is already giving me palpitations…
BrickSage Rooms & Beyond: King's Lynn, A Semi-Coherent Adventure
Day 1: Arrival, Bewilderment, and the Quest for a Decent Pint
1:00 PM - Arrival at King's Lynn station. Okay, the train journey was a nightmare. Delayed of course, which meant I missed the connection and the rest of the day has been a complete disaster. I made it to the town, but it looked bleak and cold. Time to start to see what King's Lynn has to offer… I managed to get through the check-in at BrickSage Rooms. It was the cleanest, and probably the friendliest, hotel I could find. They even gave me some biscuits when I complained about the train! Small victory!
1:30 PM - Room Reconnaissance. My room is… surprisingly not terrible. It's vaguely nautical-themed (because, you know, port town). I think I can cope with the smell of old wood and the faint suggestion of sea air - for the time being at least.
2:00 PM - Semi-Organized Stroll: I decided that after the awful travel time, I needed a moment. I'll walk around, and try something different, I'll try to find the South Gate. I've heard it's iconic. This sounds very interesting actually!
2:30 PM - Discovering the South Gate. Holy mother of history! The South Gate is magnificent. Massive, imposing, and actually quite beautiful. I stood there for ages just gawking. It’s easy to imagine what it would have been like, defending the town, seeing the trade barges coming. My inner history nerd is doing a little jig. Got some pics, obviously, because if you didn't photograph it, did it even happen?
4:00 PM - The Pub Search. The most crucial mission of the day: finding a decent pub. The kind with low ceilings, sticky tables, and beer that actually tastes like beer. I've heard rumours of cosy establishments. My quest begins!
4:30 PM - Pub Round 1: The "Quaint" Disaster. I walked into the first pub I saw. It reeked of pipe tobacco, and the clientele looked like they'd been there since the Norman conquest. The beer was a lukewarm, fizzy concoction, and the barmaid had a face like a smacked arse. I swiftly retreated. Note to self: research pubs before entering.
6:00 PM - Pub Round 2: The "Acceptable" Option. Found a place called the "Globe" and it was a bit better. Decent bitter, friendly locals and a dartboard. This is more like it. I played a terrible game of darts, lost spectacularly, and enjoyed every second.
7:00 PM - Supper: Pizza, the safest option I could find, got it delivered back to the hotel room. It was delicious.
8:00 PM - Downtime: I could have sworn, I've had a long day, but I am not even sleepy. I'm feeling the excitement of the trip, and I'm already looking forward to tomorrow. I'm gonna put on some music and read a book, and maybe go to sleep or something. Whatever.
Day 2: Maritime Mayhem and the Mystery of the Greyfriars
9:00 AM - Breakfast: Breakfast at BrickSage rooms was okay, I'm sure. I don't remember, I was half asleep. I think I had toast?
10:00 AM - The Hanseatic Warehouse. This is the famous warehouse, of course. It's an absolutely incredible building. The history of King's Lynn and its importance as a medieval port just really comes to life! The whole place emanates this incredible sense of history. I spent way too long marveling at the displays. I could easily come back to this place,
11:30 AM - The Watermen's Museum: This museum is interesting, and quite cool.
1:00 PM - Lunch Disaster, Again: I tried to be adventurous and find a local place. It had a menu I couldn’t understand. I ended up eating some kind of soggy fish and chips at a place across the street. I sat there, feeling utterly defeated. Sometimes I just want to go home and eat a sandwich.
2:00 PM - The Greyfriars' Cloisters: The ruins of the Greyfriars'. This place is spooky and serene all at once. There's a real sense of peace here, despite the ghosts of the past. I wandered around, lost in thought and imagined the whispers of the friars echoing through the crumbling walls, the wind in my hair. I felt quite emotional. I could actually feel it. The history. The quiet. The… I should probably stop talking to myself.
4:00 PM - Shopping - There are a lot of places to shop, I did a quick shopping run, and got some things that I thought I might need.
6:00 PM - The "Acceptable" Establishment, Round 2. Back to the "Globe," thank god. I deserve this.
7:00 PM - Dinner: I'm considering getting the pizza delivered again. Maybe I'll try to be brave and venture out. I should probably try to, actually.
8:00 PM - Reflecting on Life (and the History of King's Lynn): I'm sitting here, notebook in hand (because I'm a travel blogger, apparently), trying to distill my thoughts. King's Lynn is beautiful, confusing, and, at times, utterly bonkers. It's a place that wears its history on its sleeve – or, more accurately, on its bricks. Not a bad trip so far. Better than expected.
Day 3: Departure (with a Dash of Regret)
9:00 AM - Breakfast: Same as yesterday. Still tired.
10:00 AM - The Tuesday Market Place: This is the place, it is beautiful. A lovely open space in the city. Very atmospheric.
11:00 AM - Last-Minute Souvenir Hunt. I'm going to visit some more shops before I leave.
12:00 PM - Sad Goodbyes: Time to pack. This is my least favourite part of any trip. I'm kind of sad to go, though. King's Lynn has grown on me.
1:00 PM - Leaving. That was weird. I didn't know what to expect when I came here, but it was good. Until next time, King's Lynn!
