    Hotel was in walking distance to the pier in Cromer through the grounds which was a pleasant walk. Car parking was excellent with ev charging points. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had the afternoon tea on arrival which was very nice.

    It was a refined, relaxed, tasty and slightly cold experience.

    There were a few eccentricities. None of them were awful, but together they created a slightly unprofessional feel. Firstly, in my room, the toilet seat was wobbly. I found it impossible to get hot water from the shower (room 6). So I had a bath instead and really enjoyed it. Probably the most annoying thing was that my room was quite cold. Although I was there in April, it was a cold, wet day. The radiator in my room was on, but just not very powerful. After dinner I found myself tucking up in bed to watch TV. The rest of the house was fine, just my room was cold. Which brings us to the TV. I could access a variety of streaming services, but there was no broadcast TV. Again, small complaint, but when away from home it's nice to just flick on Freeview or Freesat, and watch whatever is there without having to choose. In fact, watching the local TV news gives you a good feel for the area you are visiting. Then, finally, on my last day, I was leaving not long after 7am for an early business meeting elsewhere. I thought that would be easy, but I found the front desk manned by the night porter, who didn't have access to the check-out system. "Somebody will be here in about 10 minutes," he said. I didn't have 10 minutes and had to leave. I expected that someone would ring me later to run through the bill. Not so, I simply saw a debit from my credit card for the room and dinner. It seemed about teh right sum, so I didn't really mind, but it did feel slightly 'amateur'. None of this spoilt a lovely stay, and I still left a satisfied customer.

    The grove is a charming house, set in beautiful grounds. The staff went out of their way to make staying there feel like a special experience. The restaurant was quite superb, and absolute highlight!

    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
