What a lovely hotel! The grounds and facilities are wonderful. We stayed in one of the cottages which was perfect. I loved the kitchen garden. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
