The Grove Cromer

Cannot believe it was only one night at The Grove, as we've come home feeling as if we've had a fortnight away. Wonderful. We were celebrating a significant birthday for my husband, and wanted somewhere relatively close to home that would feel special. The Grove was certainly that. We loved our room. The celebration package of fizz, chocolates and flowers was very classy and generous, and we had also opted for an early check-in, so there was time to have lunch outside from the bar menu before our 40 minutes in the pool. Having the pool as private slots is so much nicer than taking potluck, and again, felt very luxurious. We ate in The Garden Rooms - having an aperitif in the bar first, unhurried and well tended by such a friendly staff team. We've never been before but the team made us feel very warmly welcomed and cared for, which is not always easy at such a busy time of year. It was appreciated. We will be back at some point and in the meantime will happily recommend this lovely, family run hotel to others. What a special stay - exactly what we needed.

We booked the day before our visit on an impulse. We arrived early to a great reception and were given a map to navigate the beautiful grounds and woods to the coastal path. From there it was a very slow ten minute walk to Cromer. Slow because we kept stopping to take in the views and capture them on camera. On our return, we booked the swimming pool for 45 minutes of private use. The water was a perfect temperature and, as we had it all to ourselves, half an hour was good enough. We do not eat large suppers so ordered the delicious homemade soup and bread to eat in the garden. Our host, Richard, was very friendly and attentive. Even though the hotel and restaurant were busy, he was generous with his time. The room was clean and well stocked. The toiletries smelled devine and the bed extremely comfortable. We slept well! We would totally recommend this charming hotel.

We Recently stayed at the Grove and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we stayed in one of your Garden rooms which are excellent. They are very spacious and have every facility you need. We had a three course dinner in the evening which we very much enjoyed and was beautifully cooked and presented. The overall stay was very enjoyable and we were particularly impressed with the warmth and service of the staff / owners. It is a very calm and relaxed atmosphere at the Grove and with a range of alternative accommodation in the grounds it really does offer a great choice. It's easy to see how this business has stood the test of time and evolved with the times. Long may it and they continue.
