We stayed here 4 years ago and still love it. The reception staff were great, we asked for a room with a bath and were accommodated. The room was large & well equipped, bed was huge and comfortable. The towels have improved greatly since our last visit, large & soft.
We ate in the restaurant on our first night and although the menu is small the food was hot and tasty. Maisey was a great host.
One of the greatest assets of this hotel is its location right next to Sheringham Park, access is easy and we spent a lovely hour walking one of the paths. The grounds in general are lovely.
Breakfast has improved since our last visit too. Great continental buffet, the fruit salad was one of the best I’ve had. The cooked breakfast was hot & delicious. Again service by Maisey was great.
We will gladly return!

The room was exceptionally spacious and full of character. Many hotels are a bit soulless but this is far from the case here. The staff were professional, friendly and always with a smile. I've seen a few reviews have commented on 'hidden charges' - breakfast isn't included but this is clear from the very start and there's no pressure to eat here in the morning. If you do, however, the food is excellent (we had dinner) and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Hidden Gem in Upper Sheringham

We booked a long bank holiday weekend at the very last minute and were not disappointed. Very tranquil location so the town isn't really walkable unless you are super fit although only minutes from town in a car. But the hotel more than made up for that. Very traditional which made you feel like you were stepping back in time. The staff were all super friendly and made us feel very welcome. We couldn't fault the room. Very comfortable Super kingsize bed in quite a large room, which also had a fabulous bathroom. We only had breakfast one morning but they had a great selection of hot and cold options. We didn't eat in the restaurant as we were out exploring but the meals we saw others enjoying looked amazing. If we are ever in that neck of the woods again, we would most certainly stay here again.

Really lovely hotel and good value for money. The beds are really big and comfortable. Free toiletries in the room. Kettle with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits. The rooms were big. We had a ground floor superior room and it had a little terrace outside with patio doors and a chair and table. The grounds of the hotel are so lovely and beautiful. It is a 5 minute drive from Sheringham and was the perfect base for a Norfolk trip.

Super friendly, helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. Beautiful location. Dog friendly and convenient for walks from the hotel with access to Sheringham Park. The food was excellent, but not always consistent - I had sea bass on one day which was so delicious (and as described in the menu) that I decided to have it again on my last night, but it was no where near as good - missing the chives in the mash, the dill sauce on the fish and not served with peas all as described in the menu. I’m guessing it was a different chef on duty.
I was disappointed with a mix up/misunderstanding about my room - but I think that was because of Expedia, not the fault of the hotel. And the hotel did try to resolve it.
I will definitely return and will know which room to request next time!

A lovely old house in expansive parkland. Good food with great staff throughout. I can see why many guests return time and time again, very relaxing.
A few issues do need addressing though:
The old lift needs caution notices warning of the sudden stopping at floor levels. This could cause injury to joints/spine etc.
We only had one half used toilet roll in the bathroom.
No kettle/cups/tea and coffee in bedroom.
One point which disappointed us in particular was we were charged 80p for a splash of soda water in my wife’s glass of wine. This was not a spritzer it was a splash.

Not good enough

Laundry had failed to obliterate bottom sheet stains on the first night. After complaint sheet was replaced with a single just covering top of mattress . It rumpled and caused discomfort but was not replaced for third night. The only compensation offered was two free breakfast costing £30 final morning. The room was advertised as de luxe and cost £230 a night.

We were looking for a quiet, comfortable spot for a few days to unwind. The Dales fit the bill perfectly. The location is such that whilst the hotel is in the heart of the countryside, it is also close to many Norfolk attractions and holiday spots. The staff were professional, attentive and personable. For us, there was everything to like about this hotel.

Great location

This hotel could be absolutely lovely. It's in a great location, with beautiful gardens, easy access to Sheringham Country Park/the coastal paths and welcoming staff. Unfortunately, the very uncomfortable bed and dated room/en-suite, along with the dead flowers left on the dining tables all weekend, really let it down. Otherwise, I would very happily return.

Relaxing Country Hotel

We were made very welcome at this beautiful country hotel by wonderful friendly staff. Our room was clean, comfortable and had direct access to the beautiful gardens, via a patio door, which was ideal, as we took our dog with us. The gardens border Sheringham Country Park. The food was amazing and well presented. We were able to eat in several areas of the hotel and our needs were always accommodated. My elderly mother, my beloved dog and I were patiently catered for by a wonderful team of staff and we were very grateful. This made our stay such a happy, memorable one. We will definitely return to this wonderful hotel and recommend to others seeking a peaceful country retreat, just outside Sheringham and so convenient for touring North Norfolk and all it has to offer. Fabulous!

I stayed a while back and it seemed tired, in many ways. It felt much improved, my ( dog) room had been refurbished in the shower room. The staff were more on the ball and the outside seemed better kept. The chef likes to cram lots on a plate, the lobster, salad and fries were literally heaped up, less is more, or put fries separately, but tasted good.

The hotel is quiet and surrounded by trees and fields. Walking or cycling would be quite hazardous as there are no footpaths and the roads are narrow. It is also necessary to have some transport if you are planning on looking at the nearby villages and towns as the property is not on a main bus route.
Having said that the hotel booked a reliable taxi for me on Friday evening, which turned up on time for both getting to West Runcton and back.

Weekend stay

Although the bar meals were cooked and served very quickly, the first was slightly over cooked and the second could have been cooked a little more as not piping hot. Staff were friendly and attentive - overall a good weekend and I'd consider returning.

Nice location

One night stay. Room large & comfortable. Comfortable bed. Doors to adjacent rooms too close together though, & can hear adjacent room’s plumbing , so if you’re next to an early riser you won’t get a lie in.

Nights break.

Country House in beautiful surroundings only a mile from the sea. We stayed on the ground floor and as we have a very old dog that suited us perfectly. Furnishings are rather dated and outside on the patio small dead xmas trees were not removed and broken flagstones, maintenance probably needs sorting very large tree had fell and not been removed despite looking as though it had been there of an age. Our room was large but on entering I noticed a very large spider in the corner of the ceiling with its prey and cobwebs so had been there awhile. The toilet was disgusting and appeared not to have been cleaned with at least three dark hairs around the lid called Reception and they offered to change our room but these standards were really not acceptable for the price of one nights stay.

Birthday weekend break

We loved the hotel and the room was amazing with a four poster bed and balcony over looking the gardens which was beautiful. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We had complimentary coffee and biscuits once we had checked in, the weather was amazing so we had this in the garden area. The location was great just a couple of minutes walk through the garden and we were in Sheringham Park.
I do feel that at the price charged per night breakfast should be included but that is the only negative thing. I would stay again though as it really was a wonderful place for a weekend away.

The fabric of the hotel is gorgeous and the grounds are stunning.
Our biggest disappointment was breakfast. We had a full English and the bacon was awful. It was over cooked and had then kept in a warming drawer for too long. The result was cardboard that we couldn’t eat. Also the white toast was so dry that it was like a crisp. So disappointing as we always look forward to breakfast when we’re away for the weekend.
