Sea Marge Hotel

A pleasant one night stay, quiet at the hotel ahead of their Xmas inundation.Christmassy, clean, room 6 was fab, seaview. Pleasant trainee in front desk. Friendly restaurant staff. Decent breakfast offering. Front desk wasn’t always manned, tried to take a call from my solicitor to my room but no-one was at reception to pick up phone. Mobile black spot can be a problem but Wi-Fi was working. Would be nice if staff asked how was your stay on checking out. Otherwise happy and will continue to stay here as convenient and pleasant location. Thanks

It’s supposed to be 4 star? I’ve no idea who gave them that, the 3 star Dales is much better. I booked this on Expedia as it said pool, it doesn’t have a pool! A sister hotel miles away has a pool, this is trade descriptions and you will be reported as I paid what I did because I thought I could swim. Should get my money back or the very least a discount!!

Fascinating old building and great sea views

A great hotel with plenty of character. The terrace outside was a great place for an evening drink is that late summer sunshine. As with many old hotels the heating was not quite up to scratch. What was disappointing was that when I asked for a room heater the only thing that was supplied was a tiny 650W heater. It would have required something 4 times as powerful to make any impact on the large edwardian bedroom. Subsequently the bedroom was cold in the evening.

Property would be better if there was a ramp accustom the car park into the property especially for disabled guests.

A lovely old world/old school hotel. You start to chill and relax the moment you arrive. The slight disappointment, and the Sea Marge is not alone in this, is that some effort and consideration is put in to the in-room tea selection but for those us who drink coffee we get instant Nescafe sachets. It's such a disappointment when all that needs to happen is a couple of Taylors Coffee Bags being made available. That said, it didn't distract from the great views and the friendly bar staff.

Arrived with a very tired stroppy toddler and the receptionist was so helpful letting us check in once he was settled, let us access the room then check in So many activities and games for all ages Variety of different seating areas in and outside Fabulous view and wonderful food Also drinks and food were not over priced. Definitely be back

Charming old half timber building. Great terrace garden and sea views . Room spacious, clean, bathroom modern and clean . Lovely Breakfast , plenty to choose from.

Stayed for 2 nights beginning of May in a deluxe room, allocated room 2 which is lovely, comfortable, very spacious, with four poster bed, seating area and huge bathroom with a bath and a shower. Great views from both rooms of the sea and gardens. There is a disadvantage of this as it also facing the bar terrace area so if people are quiet and respectful all good, but could be an issue if not. Also the lift is next to this room which is quite noisy, luckily it wasn't going too much while we were there, but think this should be mentioned on booking or reflected in the price. We didn't have the house keeping do our room as we were only there for 2 nights, but on the first morning we were awakened from our lie in by a rather noisy staff member talking so loudly I could tell you his conversation, which was a bit annoying. The hotel need to train their staff on the importance of keeping their voices hushed when they are around the bedrooms as not all guests are checking out. The hub that they all work from is a couple of doors down so I would keep this in mind if you are booking a deluxe room. One other niggle is the fact that we were hoping to have a swim at the sister hotel as on our booking it said we would get a pass, but even though we paid nearly £400 for 2 nights,we were advised this was £6 extra each. We didn't eat at the hotel as thought breakfast was overpriced, and the dinner menu vegetarian options were not to our taste, and one dish called a cauliflower steak was £17!

Coastal village location. Old property with gardens and outdoor dining option with views to the sea. Room was mediocre. Loud boiler noise all night. No internet or phone signal which was annoying as this was a business trip. Staff very professional and accommodating. Manager responded appropriately to a complaint.

Its a nice old building with good history very interesting there was lots off old cop webs in the windows and dust on the shelves in the bathroom it was allot off money and we thought breakfast was including we know for next time . Ps the staff was brilliant and friendly and helpful

Positive - Style / location / history of house, good size clean rooms, good access to the beach, friendly helpful staff, tasty food for breakfast dinners Small shower cubicles in smallish ensuite bathrooms, shower head a little low

The hotel was pleasant and the sea view from our room was lovely. The grounds were OK. Friendly reception team. Dining room team were awkward and despite letting the hotel know beforehand and again at check in that I am a vegan, I was only offered a vegan dessert when I asked. There were none on the menu. I had to pull the table offered out from the wall as there was no room for me and my elderly mum to sit down otherwise. The bathroom could have been cleaner but it was OK.

The 3 night stay was very good, the staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean but you do hear doors banging as room was above the kitchen during dinner time, food was good especially sea food chowder,gressingham duck and duo pork, breakfast was ok but the fried eggs were hard

Very nice building. Unfortunately not very clean in some areas.

Suite The windows inside and out haven't been cleaned this year The suite was just 2 Rooms very bland 3star a best bathroom ok

The hotel is fabulous a real gem staff lovely and very helpful. Room clean and comfortable we had sea view room superb. Evening meals was excellent great choice good wines great bar. Breakfast in both day was below average and didn’t pay for either due to quality of the cooking. Cold, overdone in all areas especially the eggs. What a shame however wouldn’t stop me going back to the lovely hotel and staff.

It was lovely. Room very nice and spacious and clean . Love the jacuzzi bath.Tea and coffee in the room were not the quality I expected. They were the basic sachets I would get at a cheap hotel.The hotel would benefit by having higher quality beverages, maybe a pod machine and nice tea. Service was excellent. Dining was really good. It was so nice having a sea view. Overall our stay was very nice and we would stay again.

Charming old half timber building. Great terrace garden and sea views . Room spacious, clean, bathroom modern and clean . Lovely Breakfast , plenty to choose from.

This was our second stay at this lovely hotel fascinating building which is impressive. Attention to detail at every level, we ate at the restaurant for two nights food was excellent as was the breakfast. The rooms are tasteful well appointed, comfy bed and excellent bathroom. Without exception every member of staff were friendly, attentive, polite and made us feel relaxed. Thank you for a very enjoyable experience I strongly recommend this hotel.

This was our second stay here. Unfortunately this time we were put in a room at the top of the stairs, meaning we had quite a lot of traffic walk past from quite early in the morning - which woke us up. It was our first stay away without our 1 year old so we had been looking forward to a lay in. The room we had last time was beautiful, this time the room itself was good but the bathroom was quite tired. The views from both rooms has been amazing. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Would stay again but would request to not have that particular room.

A great hotel with plenty of character. The terrace outside was a great place for an evening drink is that late summer sunshine. As with many old hotels the heating was not quite up to scratch.

It would have required something 4 times as powerful to make any impact on the large edwardian bedroom. Subsequently the bedroom was cold in the evening.

Property is nice but the room we had was really hot so tiny fan in the room was useless. Window only opened slightly

The hotel is a relaxing place to stay. The room was very comfortable and the restaurant was a pleasing place to eat. The food was excellent and plenty of dishes to choose from.

Lovely comfy massive bed . Great food , lovely views and pleasant staff. will be returning.

The staff were out standing, there was one member of staff that we thought had been there for a long time but he had only been there for 3 days he was wonderful with information, a nod to the chefs the food was fantastic, bus service to Cromer was good, would definitely recommend this hotel

hotel had a great atmosphere with really friendly and professional staff

very disappointing the only saving grace was the 2 managers who did their best. staff on the whole tried their best however a couple of staff were unhelpful, attitude unbelievable everything seemed too much trouble. the rooms although big were old and dated wallpaper coming apart smelled musty dark and unwelcoming very dark. Was met at reception with very negative attitude when told we couldn't have the rooms we had booked delux rooms as dogs were not allowed in there. The one member of staff just said 'oh no you cant have those' then proceeded with negative comments, instead of trying to find a solution. Nothing was mentioned when booking about dogs not being allowed. the manager came and saved the day with a much better attitude and quickly sorted this out. the breakfast uncooked bacon the first day uncooked eggs the second day presentation although i am no master chef it left a lot to be desired just thrown on the plate. in the end we just cancelled breakfast totally had enough by then, wrong orders and uncooked food just wanted to escape ! Needless to say i will not be returning having paid top dollar for the rooms for 2 nights nearly a thousand pounds i expected a lot more. If i ran my business in the same manor i would be closed within a month.

Friendly staff, fantastic setting, good food

We had a lovely two night stay at the hotel, our accommodation was in the Garden Cottage. Friendly, helpful staff. Looking forward to our next visit.

Overall a pleasant stay and the staff were very nice and helpful. On the down side our breakfast was cold. The service in the bar, it was not busy, was slow and/or not always maned. No brandy glasses were available for Brandy, it was served in a whiskey glass and on another occasion a port glass! No Sauvignon wine available.

Interesting history and easy reach of the beach. The food was excellent as were the staff. We were upgraded to a suite when a problem was found in the room we booked.

Lovely hotel and staff. Dinner and breakfast was superb. Thank you.

Lovely character hotel with superb location on cliff top and in lovely grounds. The staff were cheerful and helpful and made us feel we were visiting their own home. Highly recommended.

Amazing value for money, lovely rooms, massive bath towels, lovely staff and fabulous location, beautiful village

Nice spacious and comfortable. Not cheap though. And the early morning fire alarm was an effective wake up call. The grounds are attractive and it has a good seaniew

Wonderful staff and stunning location

Charming old half timber building. Great terrace garden and sea views . Room spacious, clean, bathroom modern and clean . Lovely Breakfast , plenty to choose from.

The property atmosphere is really lovely. Quite location and beautiful views. The staff are very friendly. Rooms were nice and clean with refreshments including. The only thing that needs improvement in my view is the food and portion sizes. Also think you should have 2 options for breakfst one for cooked and one for continental. I do not think it was jastified paying £30 for my 2 children to have a slice of toast with chicolate spread. Apart from that great place and great location. I would go back but would eat somewhere else.

The building was beautiful, the location very quiet. The staff, although many appeared new, were all very friendly and helpful. The room we had was comfortable and with a view of the sea across a sweeping lawn but part of the garden has what looked like holiday lodges now being built. This does not interupt the view of the sea though. A nice homely short stay.

Beutifull setting, with excellent staff and facilities. We went to the Sea Marge as a surprise burthday treat for my wife. Specially Cromer because it is famous for crabs. She chose Crab Thermidor salad for dinner. It was vile to say the least. The crab was a shopbought dressed crab with a dollup of gunge on top and then heated in a grill or similar. The salad was dried up and inedible.

Lovely hotel and staff. Dinner and breakfast was superb. Thank you.
