The Red Lion Hotel

We chose The Red Lion for our mini break in Cromer because its dog friendly. It's in a great location overlooking the sea. We had a lovely Seaview room with views of the pier. The room was comfortable, clean and well equipped. It has a fantastic restaurant serving delicious food. Our Labrador Rosie was treated to a sausage each morning at breakfast. (Very thoughtful of the hotel)The staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

My parents and I enjoyed an exemplary meal at the Red Lion yesterday. The food was incredible across the board, the staff were lovely and the service was great. Dog friendly too! We had a wonderful time, the best meal out we’ve had in a while.

I fear my review may be too long and only echo the very positive ones below. This was just a fabulous three night stay, my wife and I and two very well-behaved black labradors.Unusually for us on UK mini-breaks, the weather was warm and sunny, the Red Lion would have been that if it were snowing, I suspect. The hotel is comfortable and welcoming. I didn't once feel it was too 'posh', looking like a photo-shoot from a fashion magazine. Instead, I saw how diligent the cleaners, waiters etc. were at all times, wiping not only table tops but chairs too. The food was fantastic and well-priced. Very generous spaces between tables. Breakfast historic, and sausages for the dogs, too. Possibly a different vibe in Cromer in high season and school holidays. If you don't like dogs, probably best avoided. Norwich Wingman scrumpy cider should have been more responsibly rationed in my view. Go!!
