Dinner, fun tapas style loved the sundown venue. Breakfast lovely

Confusing about breakfast payment, not obviouos from booking.com that it wasn't included and follow up email from The Grove added to confusion as it looked like it was included on the bill I had already paid so was surprised when we had to pay for it on arrival. Wasn't an issue but would have helped if it was clearer so could have sorted it ahead of arrival

This was our first time visiting Cromer and we opted for a cottage at the Grove. Upon arrival we were pleased to find ample parking outside and were met by a hotel staff member who walked us over to the Stable Cottage. There was an open-plan kitchen and dining area alongside the living room which had comfy sofas and a large flat-screen tv. Upstairs there were two bedrooms, perfect for 3 adults and both had plenty of storage space, mirrors and smaller tvs. The bedrooms were clean and cosy, beds were comfy and it was so quiet and peaceful. The bathroom was quite small but was fine for us. The hotel grounds were beautiful and we walked around a few times, visiting the allotment and there was a path to the cliffs and beach. We had drinks in the hotel lounge and enjoyed a tasty three-course meal on our last night. The staff were very attentive. The hotel is a 10-minute walk to the beach and there are restaurants nearby. We ate out for breakfast everyday so I can't comment on the hotel breakfast. There's not much to do in the immediate area other than walks and visiting the beach or little town centre in Cromer but a short drive out and you can visit neighbouring towns and cities. Overall our stay was fantastic and would certainly return again.

The upstairs of our cottage only had loft windows so we couldn't see out of the cottage from the upstairs, but had a nice view of the trees! Also one of the loft window blinds didn't shut fully so it was quite bright in the room in the early hours. We would have appreciated more hooks or shelves in the bathroom as there was a lack of space to store things but this wasn't a huge issue. It's also worth mentioning that the parking area outside the cottage was quite muddy as it rained during our visit. Also the walk to the cottage was also muddy upon arrival so wellies might be necessary! Lastly we would have appreciated a thicker curtain on our cottage door as the neighbours could see right into our kitchen area as we shared the outer door.

This was our first stay at The Grove, we hadn't been to Cromer for 10+ years and thoroughly enjoyed it! We stayed in The Cottage, which was absolutely lovely. There wasn't anything we went without and had a wonderful stay and will definitely be coming back again. We were greeted by a lovely friendly lady at reception who showed us to our accommodation and the next morning we went for a swim in the pool. Having it to ourselves was fabulous it was perfect and nice and warm. The location is great for walking into Cromer, and we also went through the wooded area and did the cliff top walk as well, we didn't want to come home! The Grove is such a lovely place, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Cromer.

Breakfast was great, if a little on the expensive side. We booked through booking.com and the breakfast was free if you booked direct. This was extremely disappointing as it added and extra £70 to the cost.

The cottage was excellent, but a few issues with cleanliness, lots of cobwebs and the work surface in the kitchen was dirty in one corner on arrival. Shower was average, poor pressure and the water took a while to heat up. It was a perfect size and the rooms were extremely comfortable. The price was fair for the quality of the room. Only let down by the minor cleanliness issues.

Lovely area to walk around and explore, the room was a very nice size, lovely free standing bath, big shower, big TV included in the room was lovely.

It was very warm in the room and we got told upon leaving there was a thermostat in the room (however we looked and didn't see it) lights kept flickering but wasn't a major issue. Outside the room window we had (8) we had the view of a roof top, this could be made a little better by some fake shrubs/flowers, for the price of the room it would be a nice touch to look out and see something other than a roof. Breakfast wasn't included in our stay at almost £200 for 1 night we feel it should have been included in the price.

We stayed in the Bungalow which was ideal as we needed accommodation with facilities for a small dog. The hotel itself will not allow dogs inside, at check in I was met with a member of staff who had a bit of a fit as I brought him inside the foyer just to check in. Was quite funny really, in this weather dogs cannot be left in the car. The bungalow had a nice small enclosed garden, safe for us to let the pooch roam inside and out. Wifi was ok for my husband to work. Kitchen was adequate for our 2 night stay. The onsite swimming pool was useful. The walk through the woods to the beach was nice to do.

The booking system for the swimming pool needs a little look. I booked the first day without issue and you need to set up an account with your email. I then wanted to log back in later to book the following day swim. I could not make it log in and my only simple solution was to set up another account with my husbands email. I didnt have the time to try to sort this at reception. The shower in the ladies changing at the pool needs a look as the water sprays everywhere. The Bungalow was lovely but the cupboard on the wall that houses the plates etc has a very funny old smell and I had to wash all plates, cups, glasses before we used them.

I have stayed at The Grove before so knew what to expect, but this room was my favourite so far. It was lovely to be able to leave the window open, even in Autumn and listen to the rain in the trees. Staff were super-helpful - it's been a long time since someone just picked up my bag to show me to my room. Nice touches. I love the info bundle that shares a little of the family history of the place. I didn't eat, so can't comment on food. I did swim, and love that they slot-book for individuals or parties to have exclusive use of the pool.

There was nothing I didn't like.

Location between Cromer and Overstrand was perfect for my intended walks to both places. Beautiful house with character and history in georgeous grounds. I loved my room and it had everything I needed for a perfect weekend getaway. Friendly owners and staff, particularly at dinner and in bar. The food was amazing.

Just a couple of niggles such as a dodgy toilet roll holder that fell off as soon as I touched it but it was reinstated rather than replaced so fell off again. The shower head was a bit scaled up and the sound proofing seemed lacking in the room so I had a disturbed night's sleep but it is an old building and maybe to be expected.

Breakfast was very nice for my husband I did not have breakfast due to work commitments

I was charged for 4 breakfasts My husband asked for it to be amended I checked the bill when he collected me and it was incorrect still reflecting 3 breakfasts . I had to come back and ask for another amendment which we did sort out but it created a delay to my travel plans . Also my desert on the first night was Eaton Mess although it states the ingredients on the menu , I was expecting as aspect of the traditional meringue and was disappointed it was not part of the desert. Pillows too floppy . Cabin rather warm a fan was required .

The hotel and it's surroundings are beautiful a mix of yurts, cottages and rooms. knowing it was going to be hot and sunny I wanted somewhere green and shady(the pool absolutely won me over) a short wooded walk to the cliffs from the garden made a great break from the heat. The hotel is wonderfully traditional so room lacked air con or a simple fan, I didnt ask so don't know if one was available- but future visitors may need to find out. Breakfast had a very good selection of cereals, fruits and cooked classics, mine a lovely passion fruit topped yoghurt followed by smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, comes on an English muffin which was easily swapped out for some gluten free toast.

My room was perfect apart from it was directly above reception and the main through way to the service areas, you can hear everyone and everything going on,later as I was dropping off to sleep the bar was clearing down and emptied the bottle bin which woke me up!
