We had a garden room which is a bit more expensive but the only rooms that allow dogs.
Room was nice, serviced daily.
Dinner was ok. We thought it was on the expensive side for the quality. The restaurant was busy and we felt a bit rushed. Good breakfast though.
The location of the hotel is very good. The train station a few meters away with regular trains to Cromer and Norwich. Also short walk into the village with a nice pub and a couple of restaurants.

Stayed one night Friday to Saturday last day before the schools break up, so got a very reasonably priced room, which turned out to be a large room on 1st floor with Super King sized bed, so very comfortable stay. :) Ensuite bathroom spacious. Lift available to the first floor. Saw nice looking gym on ground floor and nice lounge area. Can't comment on breakfast as we did not have it.

Friendly, welcoming staff. Obviously a hotel that’s seen better times since it was built — just now feeling a bit seedy and run down. Room was comfortable — all amenities OK — an excellent walk-in shower but NO SHELF to put things on! Just little niggly things like that which let it down a bit. A passably nice evening meal at the restaurant as well. However — excellent service and assistance from all the staff and for the price I got the room at I was more than satisfied with my stay.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean on first impressions but did notice the end of headboard behind the bedside table was stained/mucky and the radiator had something on it. Bedroom carpet stained. Bathroom was clean and tidy. The mattress was very comfortable, seemed larger than a king sized bed, was expecting double bed, so a win win!. The full cooked English Breakfast was ok. Was great that you could order eggs to be cooked fresh, however you wanted them. Perfect poached eggs. Nice relaxing start to the day. Evening meals were very good and the restaurant staff friendly and efficient. Would stay again.

The hotel has a swimming pool, though not big, but still it is a nice way to start the day.

We were given a lovely big room (223) with 3 windows which all had a view of the countryside and one even had distant sea views. The staff were very polite and helpful especially the Receptionist when we arrived. There was plenty of parking available and Cromer, Sheringham and Blakeney are just a short drive away. There are plenty of country walks near the hotel and we walked to Cromer and Sheringham (hard going over the \"Beeston Bump\" but well worth it). We ate at the hotel one night and the food was excellent as was the service and then walked (about 5 mins) to the Village Inn pub the next night where we again had an excellent meal. We would definitely stay at the Links again.

Room was very comfortable and appeared renovated in the past 5 years. The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond. Breakfast was a bit below par, dry sausages, limited buffet choice, but the chef was lovely and cooked eggs to order which felt like the only fresh thing available. Not overly child friendly, they are endured rather than welcomed.

The first-floor standard double room we were booked into had clearly been very recently refurbished (the smell of paint was still evident). The room was reasonably comfortable and the king size bed was very comfortable. However, we had a sleepless first night.

The main problem was a loud and constant humming/low rumble noise, much like a motor/generator running, coming from the bathroom - we suspected it was the extractor fan, ventilation or heating (we had turned the bathroom light off and shut the door, as I know sometimes the extractor fan is linked to either of these). It was like white noise torture! Also, and this can happen at many hotels, the walls must be paper thin as we could hear every slight noise from the next room.

When we spoke to the reception staff the following morning, they said that if maintenance couldn't fix the noise from the bathroom, they would find us a different room. Later that day, they kindly offered us a choice of two larger upgraded rooms away from the source of the noise. The room we opted for was very comfortable indeed and we both had a far better nights sleep.

We had supper at the Hole In One Bar, which was reasonable. A big shout out to the young bar tender who was working on his own and coped brilliantly in trying circumstances, that weren't of his making.

We probably wouldn't stay at this hotel again though.

Don’t bother!
We booked a double garden room & on arrival we found that room to be facing a wall. All the other garden rooms had patio doors facing into the garden. Room 243 is also next to a room that was incredibly noisy (laundry room and across from the room air con / fans whirred) that you could hear through the wall. When I asked if we could be moved I was told that was the only double room so we would incur an upgrade charge. The manager then showed us another room (248) we stressed that the room was mis sold/ advertised as a garden room as you cannot see the garden from the room. Incidentally the image on the Expedia website of the room is not the double room we were offered.

We decided to stay in the room but no one informed us whether we were to pay the £30 upgrade which was more that the difference on Expedia.

On inspection the room had not had a visit from house keeping to clean the room for a while. I have images of unacceptable dust, a moth next to the patio door, mark on the bed throw, black water mould on the bottom of the shower cubicle. Towels are so thin, grey, frayed and small they should be in the bin. Weeds outside. Fortunately the bed was clean.

On checkout the receptionist asked if we had enjoyed our stay and took some notes. A couple in front were complaining too saying the superior price is not comparable to the named superior room they had, tatty, towels, dated etc…
Book with caution.
Very very disappointed!

Firstly the downsides - our room was next to maintenance room so all night it sounded like a lift going up and down, not much sleep☹️. My expensive body lotion was tried out by room keeping! You could smell it 😡.

I had medication on the table and didn't want the sun on them and requested housekeeping to keep my curtains closed. My request was ignored. I was also asked to keep an eye out for an ambulance by staff with no care as to what I was doing or if I had time to wait.

Check in was fine, receptionist lovely, however, first impression room looked great. On closer inspection where do I start. The room was very hot, yes there was a fan provided in the room, it was absolutely filthy with dust. Next the rim of the plug in the bathroom sink was disgusting. Two of the pillowcases had dirty marks on them, i can not prove it but i am 99% sure one of the beds had not been changed from previous customer. Thick dust all around each bed on the floor. I think house keeping should spend more time on these rooms. We paid £250 for room only, weve stayed in accommodation alot cheaper to higher standards,VERY DISAPPOINTED.

This hotel is a little muddled in terms of layout and could be improved by a site plan of where the stairways are, different entrances etc. the staff were excellent, each one was polite, smiled and calm. They were helpful with areas around the hotel.
The room was comfortable and spacious, with just one issue which was that the window overlooks a large flat roof, and the window opening was not restricted so could facilitate entry from the flat roof. Otherwise, the bed was soft and apart from guests moving about in the room above, was mostly quiet.
