    There was nothing we didn’t like, would only say for the price it would have been nice to have breakfast included all be it for one morning only.

    Bungalow was spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable yet spacious, beautifully situated, quiet and peaceful with everything we needed.

    The doors to the rooms might be difficult for the elderly as very strongly sprung firedoors (hard to push open).

    Room was very nice, great staff, lovely swimming pool, close to the coast, quiet and my room was ready early so I was able to check in on arrival (Thanks!)

    There is not much to complain to be honest - the shower probably was the main complaint as it was trickling rather free flowing as a shower should be, but the water was hot.

    We loved the many facilities available here - the playground, having private slot for the warm swimming pool, and loved the Sundown Tipi restaurant as well. The food was so fresh and scrummy! The direct access to the cliff top path to the town was a dream with child as no main roads to contend with on the walk down.

    My room was next to a staff area and there was a lot of footfall in the early evening but it wasn't really a problem.

    Lovely location and grounds and very easy to walk into Cromer. The staff were helpful and friendly and the room was comfortable and well serviced. I ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and the food was amazing. Will stay again.

    The food was not as good as it is presented as being. Ravioli was not ravioli, was an odd pasta parcel which was mostly not edible. Cod was way oversaltef, vegetables were limp, undressed and unnecessary. Breakfast salmon was a strange texture and please don’t use olive oil on the muffin, please just have butter

    Lovely surroundings. Easy to get to Cromer via woodland walk. Room was clean and comfortable

    The pool is great- being able to book private slots. The grounds are really nice, local produce is grown on site and served in the restaurants. Hotel is located an easy walk down to the beach via the Woods. Sundown restaurant was lovely!

    Bathroom was 'dated' and shower over bath cramped with shower head space between grab rail and window limited. Pool changing room & shower could do with being updated.

    Room was nice and spacious, light and clean. Pool was lovely, and a good idea to have 'private' use. Gluten free food was available at both lunch and dinner.

    A very pleasant place, if not wonderful value @ £158 for B&B for two people

    The door catch fell off on the walk-in bath on arrival so it couldn't be used that day. Breakfasts were charged at £16, (£2 more than advertised: waiting to hear from hotel about this.) Breakfast 'pie' was totally dried out (reported at the time but still waiting to hear from hotel about this too). Had to find staff to ask for second cup of coffee at breakfast. Two of the main dishes at dinner were lacking flavour; the gravy was extremely salty, Evening meals not wonderful value. The timber on the outside of the Orchard Rooms is in urgent need of a fresh coat of preserver. On arrival we found the pool was already fully booked by other guests for the weekend so we didn't get to use or see it. We shall be happy to amend this review and withdraw the photo of the pie if the hotel resolves our issues with the bill for (14) breakfasts.

    We were a family group of 7 in their 70s-90s and enjoyed gathering in and just outside our Orchard Rooms in a quiet corner of the extensive garden. Comfortable rooms, furniture and beds. The staff were friendly and the meals were varied and nicely presented. Good English breakfast. Salmon was excellent. Tasty vegetables.

    The bed had a brass bed head which was uncomfortable- even with the pillows provided. The bathroom mirror above the sink wasn’t well lit so I put on my make up on using the other cabinet which meant I had to straddle the loo. Outside room 10 is a fire door but the door closer wasn’t working Properly so when the busy staff were running around in and out of that door at 7am on Sunday morning it banged and banged and disturbed us.

    The hotel is an historic house in a beautiful setting about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Cromer. The bedroom was very comfortable with a view of the gardens, the en-suite bathroom was small but perfectly appointed. Everything was clean. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive (but not too much) and helpful and the restaurant was excellent- the menu was reassuringly small, full of locally sourced ingredients. We had dinner on our first night and breakfast on both mornings of our stay. The pool was wonderful. We will definitely go back.
