Lovely place, great for a lovely relaxing break, views out to sea are superb.
Pros:

A really lovely place in a quiet peaceful setting ideal for a lovely getaway (shame I was working). I could imagine being here with my partner, a great place for weekend of relaxing. The room was nice and tidy and I had the best nights sleep in a long time the pillows and mattress were superb. I didn't eat there as I went to explore Cromer but everything looked lovely. Staff were super helpful and friendly, the ground of the hotel were lovely.

Cons:

Everything was great.

Beautiful sea views
Pros:

Great location, beautiful sea views.
Our experience of staff on reception was a bit hit and miss, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience.
Garden games are available at reception for guests to use in the extensive lawns, which is a nice touch.

We'll definitely be back
Pros:

If you want Edwardian splendour and a beautiful cliff top setting with direct views of the beach, then this is the place for you. The food was excellent and we were both impressed with the young staff, all of whom were extremely personable, indeed it felt like they really cared. The barman even offered to let us choose the music for the evening, which was a nice touch. The hotel and grounds have a really nice atmosphere and it was a very relaxing and pleasant place to be.

In terms of the room, the en-suite was a bit dated and it would be nice to have a some more upmarket options for the tea and coffee, etc, rather than just PG Tips, plus a small fridge would be useful. Ultimately though, the room was very pleasant, comfy bed, a great size and a wonderful view. We will definitely come back. Great breakfast too! Thanks for having us.

Views are Great
Pros:

Pleasant Sunday lunch.
Loads of food options on the menu to cater for all tastes.
Lovely grounds and sea views at the rear so on a sunny warm day there aren’t many better locations.
Only negative was the seating outside was in need of replacement/drying, and more of it in the grassy garden area.
