Our first trip to Cromer! The weather was horrible which made staying in our room at the Grove even more inviting. We were in room 6 for the night. The room is very tastefully decorated with all old charms on the walls, beautiful large windows with plenty of light. It all felt very Bridgerton like and cosy ! We didn’t have breakfast booked so can’t comment on that but check in was smooth. Plenty of parking, great location near the town. Will definitely return.

Very friendly staff. Warm cozy room. Well stocked bathroom - shower gel, shampoo, hand lotion, shower cap. Nice selection of teas and coffee in the room plus shortbread. A couple of areas could benefit from attention - some of furniture was a bit shabby, shower pressure was very low and oscillated between unbearably hot and tepid. Plenty of parking but there was no real guidance or convention as to the orientation/areas to park in. None of these were major issues. Lovely house and grounds.

Nice but expected a bit more

The stay was fine, a few minor things left me feeling less positive. 2 of the walls were dirty with some kind of splashes, not hugely visible but once you've seen it.... The room including the bathroom floor and shower were old and worn - not old in the lovely historical way but swollen laminate and drippy shower. There was a particularly loud gentleman nearby and I could hear all of his conversations through the walls. I loved the history of the room in the guide, soft bed, lovely arm chair to sit by the window and read. It's a beautiful location and the staff were nice but for the price I expected a bit more.

Do not book with dogs. Not dog friendly!!

I booked the hotel because it was dog friendly, but when my wife and I arrived with our two small dogs after a 3-hour drive, we were alienated in the middle of a busy hotel because we brought the dogs inside. The restaurant manager, Micheal, said to the receptionist, ‘Get them out’, which is completely unacceptable. We were then ushered outside and pointed in the direction of our room with no introduction to the property, check-out times, etc. We have never felt so unwelcome and did not expect this level of service when paying over £200 a night for a room. We were then told at 10:15 that we had to be out at 10:30 but were given an extra 20 minutes free of charge, which is subpar. They accepted our money but did not want to show any gratitude or service towards us.

Overall a nice property with friendly staff in a good easily walkable location to the seafront and shops bars there. It has a nice bar and does good food in the restaurant and the general areas were well kept. What let it down for me was the room we had was lacking in that there was very poor water pressure in the shower, tv didn’t work, minimal hanging space and generally tired. They do have different types of rooms however and we were staying in what I think was the oldest part of the property so it’s entirely possible other rooms are not lacking in these things. Overall though we enjoyed the stay and would probably go back, but in a different part of the property perhaps.

Almost Perfect

Perfect location quiet and secluded, perfect for joy having any foot traffic cars etc to disturb our dogs.

Only 2 bad things that can be fixed easily is-
• TV in Bedroom is size of a postage stamp.

• The tree needs to be cut back a lot to
Allow sun in the garden (advertised picture is not true representation of sunlight)
Prevent birds/pigeons pooping 💩 everywhere when trying to relax in garden.

We like to have our breakfast outside and on a return from a walk to have tea or an evening drink relaxing, but there was too much poop.

And I suppose it could do with some new paint to make it brighter in doors, and saying goodbye to that dark green paint in the lounge.

For a short break it’s perfect for us.

The walk to the beach was excellent - 15 minutes to the pier. The staff were lovely and attentive, we didn't use the pool but it looked good, and I loved the glamping pods - all in all a lovely hotel and a perfect place to stay for exploring Cromer.

Self catering at the Grove, Cromer

We stayed at the Groves self catering cottages & it was a bit of a mish mash! Lounge was ok but the furniture didn’t match well. The kitchen was well equipped but parts were damaged & looked tired. The bedroom( best room) was good & the bed was comfy. Whereas the bathroom was poor! Toilet seat didn’t fit & bowl was discoloured with limescale, the laminate floor is lifting & bubbling. The sink taps were also corroded.

The Grove was a great place to spend a few days in Cromer before Christmas.

Fab location with a lovely walk through the woods to the beach. The accommodation with comfortable and had exactly what you needed, including a coffee machine and a recycling bin!
The swimming pool was the perfect temperature and having it all to ours for 45 mins was an extra surprise that made it all the more enjoyable.
The evening meal in the restaurant was delicious and definitely worth the money we paid.
Would highly recommend to anyone wanting somewhere a place to stay that is cosy, comfortable and reasonably priced in North Norfolk.

Easter stay at the Grove

Lovely place to stay, set in a nice location, close enough to the cliffs/beach and town that if you're able to, walking is the order of the day. Being in my 60's and having joint problems, I found it ok, in fact I parked my car on the Thursday we checked in and didn't use it again until we left on the Sunday. Walking to the town and pier, then back twice, also walked to the local zoo and back. Knowing when you get back and can have a relaxing drink and/or a swim in the excellent indoor pool helps. The food is excellent and the breakfasts can keep you going all day. Lovely staff and pretty surroundings, wildlife and woods walk all add up to a wonderful stay.

Practical

The Hotel rooms in the main building and the other cottages probably would have been really nice but the bungalow we stayed in - I would not stay again. The way to the bungalow wasn't appealing, the smell when opening the door, the curtains, furniture was not what we expected when looking at the pictures of the hotel. It felt like an elderly person was still living there and we were just parked there for the weekend as there was no space somewhere else. That style might appeal to some but not what I expected. It was clean, check-in easy but would not recommend it for a couple getaway weekend. The place itself has a lot to offer, pool, massages,afternoon tea but it is all a bit mixed up/confusing as there were glamping tents as well so a mix of campers, cottage visitors, hotel guests and not really as appealing for me personally as the snowy picture of the hotel promises.
