A bit about
Bob and Barb
We are Bob and Barbara Briggs and this is our first venture into guest house ownership. Barbara is experienced in the hotel trade and Bob has many years of management and administration behind him. We began the purchase of Swiss Cottage in November 2003 and after a few false starts finally moved in on 12th March 2004.
The property already has had some changes made to the decoration and facilities and it is our aim to continue to update where necessary. A number of rooms already enjoy en-suite facilities and we hope to bring all rooms to this standard. The mix of superking, king, twin, double and single rooms. Families can take advantage of the adjacent rooms on the top floor. All with en-suite facilities improving the choice available at Swiss Cottage Bed and Breakfast. We hope the improvements will make improve the comfort and surroundings and your stay will be enhanced by the process.
The work has now been carried out and all rooms are indeed en-suite with central heating. The carpet has been upgraded and all en-suite facilities updated to include hygienic floors. Inclusion of a Life 2 fire alarm system has improved safety as has an update to the electrical wiring and lighting systems.
Free Wireless Internet Broadband Access is facilitated by the use of multiple routers around the building giving coverage to all areas, rooms and public spaces.

The rooms are very clean , breakfast is wonderful fresh fruits and yogurt is one of my favourites instead of the plentiful cereals on offer ;and I follow this with a full English with filter coffee and toast and jams etc . Sets you up for the day really .faultless on making us feel safe during these covid times plenty of good practice rules so I felt completely safe during my stay not too crowded in dining room either as they manage breakfast times etc

I would recommend a stay here anytime.
“Our stay at The Swiss Cottage was absolutely fantastic. Bob and Barbara could not do more for you, they are so kind and cheerful, it was like we had known them for years. Our room was exceptionally clean and every day the room was cleaned and Fresh towels were left in our very spacious bathroom. Our room also had a fantastic view of the sea and the positioning of The Swiss Cottage is in a nice quiet location but with a short walk you are in the centre of all the activities. Bob’s breakfast is also great ranging from fresh fruit, cereals, a cooked breakfast and plenty of fruit juice, tea and coffee. I am extremely fussy but my stay at The Swiss Cottage and Bob and Barbara are all 5 star, I would recommend a stay here anytime.
Thank you once again Bob and Barbara!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bob Hewitt Brackley, Northamptonshire “

Keep up the good work Bob and Barbara, you true superstars.
“After staying here last year and absolutely loving Swiss Cottage the first time round, second visit did not disappoint. Bob and Barbara are wonderful hosts, always have a smile, and always happy to have a natter. The rooms are spotless and so comfy, rooms are cleaned/tidied on a daily basis, thank you for also putting some decaffeinated teabags in our room for mum. Breakfast also recieves top marks, there is a good variety and the full english hits all the right spots! Swiss cottage is in the ideal place being only a few minutes down the road from the town and amusements but far enough away so you can enjoy the peace. The building itself has lots of character and always feels comfortable and welcoming. We look forward to coming back next year (hopefully). Keep up the good work Bob and Barbara, you true superstars.

``King size seaview 5* Brilliant ``
“We stayed here for 4 nights.Monday to Friday…the room was excellent with vast sized and very comfortable bed.. Views across the dunes to the sea.. Walking distance to town centre and main seafront attractions..only had to use car once on our visit to go to greyhound stadium which is only 10 min drive. Breakfast very good..large selection of cereals and different tasty fruits each morning with Greek yoghurt..very nice..and of course a high quality full English.. also a large park behind establishment to walk around and sit in..and serves as a cut through to different parts of the town… All in all a great break away..cheers Elaine and Dave steer

``A perfect stay in Great Yarmouth``
“We have just returned from our trip after spending two nights at the Swiss Cottage B&B and we have had a fabulous time. A fantastic place to stay, it is spotlessly clean and the breakfast was just amazing, we both opted for a veggie one which was very tasty and included veggie sausages and bacon which we don’t think is easy to find if you follow a vegetarian diet. We were in room 7 with fantastic views, light and airy, the bed was also very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay here again should ever return to Great Yarmouth. Barbara, the host, was very welcoming and friendly which made the stay even more enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend this B&B as it is a real gem.”

““Highly recommend”
“A very clean, quiet and comfortable stay. A vast breakfast choice nothing too much trouble. Beautiful views from room (king sea view) well worth the extra money. Extra bedding in room if required, spacious very clean rooms and bathroom. Near enough to main beach attractions but far away enough for relaxation too. Own car park which is ideal.“
