    There wasn't a fridge in the room as the weather was hot, you had nowhere to put drinks to chill. The Euros were on, and there was no TV to watch the games downstairs in the communal areas

    The location was fantastic, rooms were clean, the grounds were beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful and it was only a mile from Sheringham, where you had shops, eateries and the beach. There was also a steam train there that you could travel to Holt and back

    Room 7 very hot, maybe it's above the kitchen, and didn't have any real view yet was billed as a superior room. Not sure if bed linen pure cotton, wasn't nice and crisp.

    Lovely gardens, good cooked breakfast.

    Room was rather small for my husband as he uses a walker and is blind. What can I say about the lift ! Landing was different and felt rather like hitting a concrete floor.

    The food served was great, although not a huge choice. But altogether a nice break, and we've already booked a break at the Links for July.

    The quality of the food was extremely disappointing. I couldn't eat the pork on my first evening and had to opt for a dish I didn't really want. Breakfast - oeuf Benedict was presented on a dry tasteless muffin. Even the toast was underdone - normally difficult to spoil toast.

    Couldn't fault it in any respect - except below

    Although a fan was provided the room was very hot at night due to the exceptionally hot weather but short of installing air conditioning not a lot the hotel can do about the weather! We have stayed here twice before but prices are now getting to the level of putting us off.

    Staff were friendly and the service was both thoughtful and extremely good. Good location. Attractive grounds.

    A lovely overnight stay! But a bit pricey...!

    • Stayed 1 night

    Despite all the big plusses mentioned above, the cost for one night's stay (NOT including breakfast for the two of us) was really rather steep for what this hotel provides. It was a weekend day which I know makes a difference - but next weekend I'll be staying in a business-standard hotel at Gatwick Airport as I need to catch an early morning flight, and the cost for that is 65% of what I paid for the room at the Dales. There should really also be an option to include breakfast in an overnight package. That said, we did enjoy our stay here. :-)

    Our room was lovely and quite large, with a delightful view of the village of Upper Sheringham. The beds were very comfortable, and the staff very helpful and efficient. Breakfast was of excellent quality too. The hotel is handily located in a pretty village just a couple of kilometres off the main North Norfolk coast road, the A149 - easy to get into Sheringham, Cromer, etc.

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Unfortunately this time there were a number of minor issues which individually would not call for adverse comment but this time, We were not offered help to our room (I was on elbow crutches), there was no Hotel info sheet in our room (meal times desk call number etc), at dinner waiters forgot bread rolls (butter on table) forgot to ask for any drinks order (had to ask for wine list), waiters had to ask which customer had ordered which meal and then served the man first. When we booked in we were asked if we would like our room serviced and/or the bed turned down, I thought this rather strange as we were visiting a 4 star establishment

    We have stayed at the Dales on a number of occasions and have been very happy otherwise we would not return.
