The Poachers Pocket Bacton.
A prime waterside location and an enviable selection of leisure, chalets, pub, dining, and events facilities.
Poachers Pocket is much more than a guest house; it’s a one-of-a-kind destination
Dog friendly, we were able to have our dog at the table during dinner. Girl behind the bar was very friendly with a nice smile and helpful. Pub was clean.
The food was absolute garbage, £17 for a curry that was clearly made by chef Mic (microwaved).
We only had dinner, and it was dark out, so cant comment on rooms or views.
Just had a 2 night stay at Poachers Pocket what a lovely place ! Amazing views of the sea from our room. The staff and owners were really friendly. We brought our dog with us who made friends with Oscar the owners dog. Would definitely recommend a visit we’ve already booked to come back !
Have just spent 5 days at this establishment in a very comfortable chalet. Was very impressed to find items like tea bags, sugar and coffee sachets which in self catering you rarely find. Made friends with Oscar their beautiful dog. Could find no fault with the food or the prices charged. Had their fish and chips twice which i thoroughly enjoyed. Also their jacket potatoes were excellent. Could not fault the staff either very friendly and helpful. Being so close to the sea makes this a superb place to stay and we shall certainly be coming back. Thank you for everything
I stayed at Poacher’s Pocket from Sunday through to Friday morning in chalet number six, and it was everything you could want – whether you’re away as a couple or, like me, on a business trip.
The views are breathtaking, the service is impeccable, and the staff are genuinely friendly. The owner, who has run the place for 15 years, has clearly put a lot of care into maintaining and updating the site – the new cladding on the outside gives it a fresh and welcoming look.
The location is perfect: plenty of space out front to enjoy in better weather, a shop just down the road for essentials, Sainsbury’s only four miles away, and the beach right on the doorstep. Inside, having a fridge and a microwave grill made it easy to prepare simple meals when I didn’t feel like going out.
That said, I did eat in the restaurant and was really impressed. I had lamb tikka with rice – cooked beautifully and even delivered straight to my room, which is service above and beyond.
As someone who travels a lot and reviews plenty of places, I can honestly say Poacher’s Pocket stands out. For the location, the views, the comfort, and the service, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Just book it – you won’t regret it.
Stayed for 6 nights for my husbands 60th birthday in chalet 6.
We found it very comfortable & clean. Everything we needed including a fridge, kettle, microwave/grill/oven. Even supplied tea/coffee/sugar and plenty of little milks in the fridge.
The views from the room are incredible and with the sea just literally a stones throw away, the sound of the waves helped us sleep like babies!
The staff are really lovely and made our stay like being with friends. Big shout out to Anas for the beautiful meal he prepared for my husbands birthday...a beautiful meal made by a beautiful man, thank you Anas.
Thank you also to Layla, Lauren, Mohammed and everybody else for a great week!
Also to Oscar the dog!
Many thanks, Kirstie & Neil xxx
