The Grove Cromer

Very disappointed with my room here. The chair in my room barely had any fabric remaining on it, it was so worn down. Bathroom was aged with fittings feeling and dust on surfaces. The mattress on my bed (in a tiny box room) was so aged that it caved to one side and made for a terrible night’s sleep. A similar story in the dining room - many of the chairs had collapsed in the middle, and they were also of different heights, meaning you were often sitting at a different level to the people you were eating with! This hotel advertises itself as 4 stars however this is in no way a 4 star hotel. It needs a lot of work to bring it up to that standard.

Excellent hotel - Style, staff, and food. Still family run, they work hard with their team to make your stay very special, catering for everything, even a pool to book for a private swim. We loved the original features in our room and around the hotel, giving a modern 30’s feel. The Garden Room menu is superb, taste and presentation 10/10 (no burger & chips here!) Thank you for giving us a great, beautiful stay. We will definitely be back and highly recommend The Grove to all.

We Stayed in “The Bungalow” which we found had a nice homely feel. We went to the main house for an evening meal and although was a bit tricky to get to as my wife is disabled but with a bit of preserving was manageable we felt the relaxed atmosphere , the ,evening meal was excellent. Would have been a nice touch if a bottle of wine was complimentary on arrival Thank you

What a cracking little find. We found the Grove very last minute and thought we booked a hotel room but was very lucky to get one of their cottages. Staff were excellent, food was very good and the accommodation was spotless. The pool was also a nice extra and very clean. We will definitely go back next year.

The Christmas package was excellent - food was delicious and accommodation very comfortable as was the bar and lounge area. Credit to all the staff too who were very welcoming, efficient and clearly enjoy their roles as demonstrated by their charming and pleasant demeanour.. We will certainly come again when the weather is less foggy!

We had a wonderful overnight stay with an exceptional dinner. The welcome was warm and very natural in contrast to the efficient, trained welcome of the big chain hotels. Being shown to your room makes a real difference. We were lucky enough to be in Room 5-something I shall remember for other stays. Dinner was first rate with an interesting, different and tasty selection of wines. We enjoyed retiring to the lounge and sitting before the fire feeling very much at home. As my wife says, it is more like going to stay with your friends than at an anonymous hotel. I would add but friends who really know about hospitality at its best. I had an enjoyable swim before breakfast which helped create some room for the top class breakfast with some of the best sausages that I know. We live in Norwich and were only away from 1000 on one day until about 1500 on the next but it was such a restorative break. To be repeated! Thank you to all the staff who made us so welcome.
