SeaMarge Hotel in North Norfolk

Lovely warming bar and restaurant we popped in after a walk along the cliffs from Cromer. Stopped for a bit to eat. Great service, attentive, polite staff and tasty food.

Having been a resident in Overstrand for nearly three years we often find it impossible just to walk in and get a table in the bar area and hence we have swerved it quite a lot, the lady who used to be front of house waving around paper at me telling me we are full when clearly they were not was very off putting. Now onto this week thought we would try out luck, glad we did, nice young lady on entering I asked her if we could just go and sit at a table as not many people and she said of course, what a breath of fresh air! Long story short lovely meal duo of pork and a bottle of Rose, new manager at front of house very nice too, fingers crossed all being like this in future we will be regulars !

I enjoyed sea bass dish servied with Butternut squash and sage tortellini,baby leeks, samphire, beetroot puree, almond butter, wished there had been more beetroot puree and maybe some potatoes, somehow i missed the squash altogether. Followed with Blackcurrent Delice, a vegan dish, which consisted of blackcurrent with Soya anglaise, champagne sorbet, ginger sponge which was tastey although I did not taste ginger and there was hardly any of the soya anglaise. My friend went for nut roast from the carvery and was happy with that. The staff were attentive.

Celebrated my birthday at the Sea Marge with friends. It was perfect. We had the Winston Room which was beautifully presented. The cold buffet was excellent and the staff attentive. Everyone remarked as to what a wonderful evening it had been, one guest even asked if we could it all again next week! What more can I say, apart from thank you to all the staff who made it a perfect celebration.

We had breakfast in here on 2 mornings. Really good buffet and a good range of cooked breakfasts. Nice bright sunny room and excellent staff.

Staying at the hotel so decided on first night to eat in the hotel knowing it was first night of opening Great starters, the pork belly was crispy and had a great fresh apple salad. The prawns were juicy and well put together Main was a fish pie which was excellent with the cheesy topping. My wife had the pie, which was disappointing as the beef was chewy. Just needed another 1 hour in the pan to soften. Veggies cooked perfectly I had rhe chocolate and raspberry tart - it so needed the raspberry ice cream to cut through the rich chocolate. So close to be fabulous

Food was ok and prices not unreasonable, but the service was just awful. Waited ages for our pre dinner drinks to be served in the bar. Then taken to our table and left with menus. No mention made of the specials. Twenty minutes later still waiting……Ordered food and a bottle of wine. Starters arrived and eaten. No sign of wine. They had forgotten to order it ! This is just poor. You have to get the basics right and I am unconvinced the food was unfrozen.

We stayed at the Sea Marge for 2 nights and also had dinner one evening in Frazers and wished we hadn't. The menu is far too large for the produce to be cooked in the kitchen. Prepared yes but our starters were definitely cooked from frozen and the mains were no better than average. The views from the room are quite nice out to the gardens and sea but we were stuck in a corner with no view at all even though there was seating more central that we had assumed was booked for others. It remained available all evening. We had dined at The Saracens Head the night before and thankful we did. Apart from providing burnt toast for Breakfast, the selection available was good and the full English was enjoyable. Maybe the current climate hasn't helped many of these establishments.

Friendly atmosphere, comfortable seating, wonderful ambiance and delicious food. Lots of outside seating with a small pond and clean loos.

We were excited to come here. In the past, it was absolutely THE PLACE to come for really good food. The prices urge you to expect that standard. We had a veggie burger (choice for vegetarians is not great) which was not flavoursome and also crumbled apart easily. The others had steaks which were not well cooked. The chicken dish was just about okay. It was an absolute let down. Lots of things on the menu were unavailable, including our first choices of food. Staff breezed about as if on their own little missions and diners were an inconvenience to be endured. It was supposed to be a special occasion but turned out to be a damp squib in every way.

Perfect setting, peaceful breakfast with super view on their terrace looking out to sea. Charming staff. Good value full breakfast with choices of juice fruit and main. Been twice. Good consistency. Love the Eggs Florentine.

Have never been here but we do go to the sister hotel The Dales occasionally and find it excellent. We were not disappointed. Sunday lunch for my Uncles birthday and was very impressed with the food and service. Our waitress was attentive but not overly so but was easy to attract her attention if we needed. Overall a lovely afternoon at the Sea Marge, will come again.

Saturday night dinner with girlfriends during our weekend away. Ordered the Lobster platter to share and two extra sides. First of all we were sat at our table in the bar, we had to ask for menus after half an hour! The woman ‘in charge’ seemed not to have a clue what was going on! We ordered our food. Our food arrived half an hour later, it looked unappetising and it tasted just as bad. Previously frozen and not fresh as stated on the menu, it may have been fresh a week ago or longer but certainly not fresh, it was so cold you knew it was defrosted. There was no taste at all (how’s that possible?!), the lobster was like ‘old boots’, prawns tasteless, whitebait standard. Truly awful to be served such rubbish when you are just metres from the sea. It really isn’t ok to serve such dreadful food and expect to get away with it! I complained, initially reduced our bill by £25, after complaint more they didn’t charge us for the platter. Staff seemed totally clueless and chef you need to do better, much better. Don’t go here if like me you have standards and want tasty delicious food.

I’ve been going there for many years and previously been quite good. This time we both ordered prawn cocktails which were extremely disappointing. Just the tiniest prawns we have ever seen on a bed of lettuce with sea island sauce, definitely not 4-star À la cart. My sirloin steak at £20.95 was tough and sinewy. Cannot fault the staff though, all very pleasant.

We booked as part of the eat out to help out offer and the menu looked good for all of our group. We sat in the garden area at 6pm and waited 20mins for our drink order to be taken. By the time we ordered food and it arrived it was nearly an hour later. We guessed they were busy BUT none of the 5 different members of staff that served us: - mentioned anything about a long wait for food - apologise for the wait - check on us during the meal to see if everything OK - ask if we wanted anything else to drink (went to the bar ourselves, quicker!!) - asked it we wanted any coffee etc at the end of our meal. The food was nice, as was the setting, but we would have been really cheesed off it we had paid the full amount for this meal as the service wasn’t up to scratch.

Table booked in the garden area. On entry pointed to our table, no one came to take our drink order or give us menus in 25 mins, my partner then went to the bar to order drinks another 15 mins later still noone until I went in to ask... We should have left at that point. Ordered food standard main dishes nothing extraordinary and 1 hour later no food had arrived now 9.15pm table booked for 7.45pm its dark and getting cool outside and noone knew when our food would be ready. No one checked on us at all. In the end we left and had to drive to Cromer to find anywhere that was open ended up in a kebab house!(which luckily was tasty) Very disappointed was the last night of our holiday! We understand times are challenging but don't over book if you can't cope.

A lovely good value meal off the Table D'Hote, which changes regularly, 3 courses and a drink for £30, fabulous, very tasty and filling, what more can I say!!!

Grandparents and young granddaughter visited for Sunday carvery. From the minute we walked in, the staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Such a good choice of vegetables and really nicely presented and meat plentiful. No queue, called to area when ready. Well organised. Lovely building.

The restaurant is in a beautiful building. The staff professional, attentive and friendly overseen by the lovely Susan. The food was very inventive and absolutely delicious. I would recommend it highly.

We ate here last Sunday and had a fabulous carvery - the chef and the waitress were absolutely lovely. Husband and daughter and I all agreed it was the best carvery we have ever had!! As this was such a lovely meal this prompted us to book the small private dining room for a get together this saturday. There were 9 of us and one child. The whole party all agreed the room, food, staff and ambience were all outstanding. From the minute I spoke to Kirsty and Caroline to arrange this (my husband is terminally ill so very unique circumstances), they were so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Our party ordered 10 different meals which all arrived at the same time, perfectly cooked and were wolfed down very appreciatively! we all had desserts which were equally lovely, and took our coffee in the lounge which is also a lovely place to sit and chat. The South African Manager (who we have dealt with before), is also lovely and very professional too. This place is just the right mix of elegant and special without being stuffy and making you feel like you have to stand on ceremony - I would heartily recommend this establishment to anyone, thank you all so much x

Brilliant carvery lovely tasty and plentiful. Staff helpful and polite. Seating goodCalled through when ready so no long queues.

Had a lovely dinner here during our stay and was really impressed with the care and present the food! Service too was impeccable. Well worth it!!

Had an excellent meal in this restaurant food,surroundings,service excellent. Fabulous atmosphere. Guinea foul and sea bass very tasty. Quick service and very friendly staff waiter even spent time talking photos for us.

This is a first class hotel, well deserving of 4 stars. We ate in the pub which serves the same food as the restaurant. Service is first class, food likewise. Nice ambiance in the pub, lovely garden and sea views

Great meal at a lovely hotel. Clean hotel, but could do with a little update in some areas. Service was good and the food was better than expected. Would visit again.

Stayed here at the hotel for two nights. Wished it had been longer. But I feel that if we had our weight would be increased. The food is well cooked and served by good staff. Good selection all day.

We went to this restaurant because we could use our Gourmet Card, we are very glad we did. Excellent service and excellent food, I really enjoyed the sea trout and my husband had a nice piece of sirloin steak. We would definitely return next time we are in the area.

Last night we ate a very good meal at Frazer’s restaurant, within the Sea Marge hotel. The menu arrived and the Table d’hôte looked even more exciting than the a la carte. Our hors d’oeuvres arrived; I ate a smoked haddock and salmon fish cake whilst my husband devoured an appetising-looking pâté with a fruity Cumberland sauce.

All ingredients are locally sourced -Which means you will always get great vegetables, meat and especially fish !.

We stopped one lunchtime and had two light lunches. The white bait was lovely and the smoked salmon was equally pleasant. The building is superb, a wonderful example of the Arts and Crafts era. I would happily stop by again when in the area.

Main course & dessert straight from high street frozen food chain, oven chips & wafer thin plaice, literally had thicker bread crumbs than fish content!! Crumble dessert also straight from a cardboard box .

Had I known the Sea Marge was so nice I would have visited much sooner.

After four months and several emails requesting a reply to my complaint I'm still waiting!! There's no excuse for that especially as I've been taking friends and family to the Sea Marge for years because it's a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. But I keep leaving it hungry and disappointed with mediocre, half-hearted or downright poor quality (yet pricey) food. The last occasion prompted me to write to the hotel with some friendly feedback. That was back in May and despite several requests for a response, I'm still waiting as of the end of August. It seems that Mackenzie hotels just don't care. So I'll take my friends, family and business to somewhere that does!

Nice rooms, helpful staff, but the bar snacks and breakfast were so ordinary, and well, what can one say. Hollandaise sauce is not a pond of butter lapping around the plate. An accompaniment of "mediterranean vegetables" could not/should not be hidden under the accompanying seeds, (yes seeds!)

We were warmly welcomed by Lesley and shown to a lovely room with a splendid sea view. After a lunch in the bar we made our way down steep steps to a beautiful beach with wonderful huts. A lovely walk along the seafront and back to the room before a splendid meal in the restaurant. The breakfast was very good and set us up for visiting our favourite coastal towns of Sherringham and Wells. My lasting memories will be of the ever changing colours and changing seaviews.

We stayed in a local b&b; and went for dinner here one night. When we booked a table the day receptionist was frosty and off hand, it seemed like we were an inconvenience to her to take our booking.

We came across this hotel as we had a gift voucher to use for a cream tea and that it was near Cromer which happened to be where we were spending the day at. It is an ideal located hotel and has spectacular views of the beach. As we walked into the hotel we heard a couple walk by saying "that place does a great cream tea.” They weren’t wrong it was well presented and really tasty, the view of the beach from where we sat finished it off. We would definitely go back as the prices aren’t too bad.

Good choice on menu. Plenty of good interesting menu choices Not cheap but good quality. Staff were helpful and friendly

Stayed there last week. Lovely hotel and the food in restaurant is fabulous. No lift, so maybe not for the less mobile. Beautiful gardens looking out to sea. The staff were lovely though very overworked as there is obviously a staff shortage there. Great weekend!

A wonderful hotel very friendly staff always willing to help, the afternoon tea was really scrumptious and a lovely variety of sandwiches and the scones were to die for hot a crumbly really fresh, room was very clean and cozy,

Stayed here for 2 nights using a Buy A Gift voucher.

Arriving in beautiful Overstrand on a Sunday night as holiday makers, limits your options for family feast time. Thankfully there’s this place. Much more appealing than its competitors, the bar menu here was perfect for our party of two plus 9 year old daughter. Delightful telephone manner when we called ahead to check; friendly, confident service from the young lady from Cardiff. Amazing hospitality, clean, delicious cuisine, all packaged in attractively set, lit and furnished surroundings. We’re in the catering industry, so appreciated the effort they went to during our visit.

Beautiful hotel from outside and some of the communal areas are lovely. The rooms were very hot and stuffy as only one of our windows could be opened. The menu was a bit fancy for me but maybe good for others. Could do with parasols on the garden terrace. Rooms were a little dated and uncoordinated with random artwork as if they put up any pictures they could find. Shame because some stunning artwork was on show in stairwells. The bar was lovely and was the only spot in the whole hotel you could get any type of WiFi. Random note no Vodafone service whatsoever.

Visited this hotel twice while staying in a B&B; up the road for dinner and a few drinks and received great service with a smile and good food.

We were staying nearby and thoroughly enjoyed dinner in the bar at the Sea Marge which is a delightful old building looking out over the sea. The food and ambience were both good but the service was a little hit and miss with a few issues around timings and serving everyone at the same time. That said I would thoroughly recommend

The first night we booked a table in the hotel restaurant what a let down , My wife ordered the chicken and leak pie , the waiter said "we have run out of pastry for the pie but you could have it topped with mashed potato" ! Nothing much else on the menu , before we started the waiter apologised that several items on the starter menu were not available most was the fish and shellfish which left little else ! any way the "pie " arrived and surly enough it was topped with mashed potatoes, but also on the plate was yet another "dollop" of mash potatoes and two small slices of carrot !!! the chef did not have the imagination to substitute the side order of mash for more vegetables to give it a little variation and colour !!, one very bland meal with an overdose of mashed potato hence one ruined meal we did complain but they still charged us !!!. Also if you are going to book a room here make sure your ok being cut off from the rest of the world the couple of days we stayed we have no TV reception and absolutely NO phone service /signals the room was OK (room 16) and had a great sea view also the staff were very friendly and helpful but w won't be heading back there any time soon !!!

We only popped in for a quick drink on the way to Cromer but we decided to stay for our evening meal, and so so pleased that we did.

Just had an evening meal and it was good at a fair cost, A pleasant atmosphere in almost Baronial bar restaurant. Garden large and pleasant just to sit in summer with a drink

Very good, wide ranging menu, with friendly and helpful service. Comfortable seating in high ceiled room with bar. Table service. Only small criticism is that the board outside advertising their 2 for £14 offer should have 'Mondays to Fridays' added to it so as not to mislead.

The Sea Marge is a wonderful building in a lovely village. The building is full of interesting details in an Arts and Crafts style. There are a variety of places to eat, some of which can be dog friendly (though we didn't have our dog on this occasion). Some are rather formal, but we ate in the atmospheric bar, overlooking the garden.

What a lovely find up the road from where we were staying. We called ahead to make sure food was still being served & when we arrived, the lady at the bar (Lesley) realised we’d called.

We went here for dinner with the family. Each of us had a different starter and main. The food was beautifully presented, cooked as we like it although others may say that the vegetables are not cooked enough, they were al dente style. The wine was very good and reasonably priced. The waiters were friendly and attentive. Beautiful building and location. Worth a visit. There is a beautiful garden where you could sit on a summer evening too.

The food was very nice but had ordered food in line with the notice being advertised and the menu to be told when paying it did not apply on the day we were there. I also then mentioned the gourmet card to be told once again I could not use it on that day even though the website said I could. Need to get there advertising sorted out, felt let down.

Lovely weather so decided to go for lunch chose Sea Marge what a mistake.

Decent place good atmosphere but sometimes can seem rushed due to how busy they are staff are great work very hard decent food and a large menu with a good variety of vegetarian options

Visited the restaurant for Sunday lunch. Shown to our table after ordering in the bar. Didn't appear to be any organisation in the restaurant, staff very young and obviously inexperienced. After about 10 mins we were brought our starter of roast carrot soup with croutons, we asked for a bread roll and was told by the waiter he would get some. The soup had no flavour and the croutons were a soggy, greasy lump, no bread roll appeared so eventually I got up and found the bread rolls sitting on the side, so I served my husband and myself.

Went here while in bb nearby >Interesting building and history involving churchill and the owner of house in past ?

Reception staff attentive, room was good. Lift is small and has old style manual gates to operate. Tight squeeze two people with cases.

On grey drizzly Feb afternoon enjoyed great afternoon tea. 4 choices of finger sandwiches, followed by delicious warm scones with ample jam and cream. Then the final plate with a shot glass of rich chocolate mousse plus 3 cakes each, profiterol, carrot cake and apple...

Visited quite a few times and again today. Delicious Sunday roast. Good quality food. Very tasty meat and vegetables.

Evening meal was of good quality and cooked well. Breakfast was equally good with a good choice on the menu. Plenty of tea / coffee. Excellant service.

No room in bar but we were shown into residents lounge and very pleasant staff came to take our order. Scones , jam and cream were delicious , large with lots of jam and clotted cream.

Have just returned from an enjoyable two day stay with friends.

Usually I am a fan of the Sea Marge but not today's New Year's Day lunch. The food was mediocre and the ambiance non existent (we were in the large main dining room not the Churchill panelled room or bar area both of which have character).

Very beautiful place, and food was pretty good but the service was appalling. The food came out one course after another with less than two minutes between courses it was as though they wanted us out within the hour. The table was not cleared of the pudding plates and we were not asked once if we wanted any more tea,coffee or drinks. The restaurant was only quarter full so being busy was not an excuse. There was no Christmas atmosphere in the place at all. We would definitely not recommend this place for a works dinner which is such a shame.

I organised an afternoon tea for my Mum's 60th Birthday there was 11 people and 2 infants - They were able to offer me a private room for our Dining and decorated the table to make it a bit special.

I had a lovely 2 nights here in October with my elderly mother. To reduce costs, but maintain privacy we requested a suite with a double bed and a sofa bed (divided by curtain).

Had Sunday lunch here, as an alternative to the White Horse, which seems to be trying too hard with its menu, and I would suggest that the lady at the door needs some customer relations training. No welcome, when I asked a question she didn't raise her eyes to talk to me and carried on looking at the bookings list. Made me feel unwelcome from the start. Was told that the table wasn't ready so had to wait in the bar. When we were invited into the restaurant area it was already half full, so not quite sure why we had to wait for so long. We were given a glass of water from a jug but then the jug was taken away again. Isn't it better to leave the jug? The food was OK and cheaper then the White Horse. It could do with just a bit more customer focus and a bit more updating of the décor I would suggest.

value for money,food always top nosh.beautiful surroundings.good varied menu.wide choice of wines, service excellent

We arrived on a Sunday and stayed 2 nights. We were greeted at reception by very helpful and friendly staff. Straight off to our room (Room 7). It was magnificent, huge bathroom, 4 poster bed, sofa and chairs and a magnificent sea view. WOW. Downstairs for a little light lunch and drinks. Again the service was brilliant the staff could not do enough. The evening meal in the restaurant was lovely and the service dare I repeat it brilliant!!

We had lunch on a weekday from the 2 lunches for £14 menu, this was excellent value.

Parking on site adequate.The hotel is an old listed building that looks impressive from 50 yards. The front door sports an AA 3 star sign, the reception desk a 4 stars sign.The interior fabric of the hotel is let down by poor attention to detail from decorators and contractors.Our Room smelt musty-the inside aspect of the door looked scruffy.Where hand towel rails and hooks had been replaced the previous holes are left unfilled.It looks lgrim where the walls met the bath . A corroded shower head , black on the inside looked off- putting. Despite requests the internet in the room never worked.The service details are not right .On our arrival in reception a trolley with used plates collected from diners was parked by the door-possibly awaiting a score card.Assistance with luggage up to our room seemed unlikely. On the plus side there Is a lift.It is reassuring that you can book a room that a dog hasn't had first refusal.The Bar felt chaotic.Folks with dogs had their meals there. We were given flat prosecco from a little screw cap bottle. Staff there clearly would benefit from some training. The Dining room was refreshingly better.The decor was fresh. We were seated by the door as clearly we had not graduated to one of better tables even though the room never was full..Apart from being a little windy and on the main route in and out of the room the food was ok - uninspired.(Brocolli and onion thick soup, seabass with leeks ,ice cream.)There was a reasonable choice on the a la carte menu.The cliff walk, the promenade and the sea-view from the room were positive assets.Oliver (?) our waiter was pleasant and helpful and served our cooked breakfast which was adequate.It would need a shake up in all departments before we would return.

Visited on the recommendation of a colleague, we thought it a good way to fill a wet, miserable day by taking afternoon tea. The inside is beautifully constructed with late 19th/early 20th Century Arts & Crafts style wood and furniture.As far as the sandwiches and cakes are concerned, frankly there was nothing to complain about. Very good in fact. The problem was the half-hearted service and apparent lack of range of teas. We were given breakfast tea that had either been made with warm, not boiling water, an unwarmed pot or both. Cheerless, weak tasting and not up to scratch. On mentioning a range of teas might add to the experience when paying (an otherwise reasonable bill), I was told several were available. Maybe so but they weren't offered. That's not what this hotel should be doing. Hopefully an isolated incident but I do wonder. Someone needs to pull their socks up.

My favourite place disappoints. Eaten here twice in the last few weeks and noticed standards have slipped. I hope this is only temporary as have been exceptionally happy for the last 11 years we have been eating here. To be told at 3 minutes past 6 that we were too late to order the 2 meals for £14 after we had been waiting 10 minutes to be served was a bad judgement. Also to be refused a further drink on the terrace with our meal because we had already settled our bill is not good customer service. We ate up and had futher drinks at the White Horse!! only mentioning this so management can take action.

We hadnt booked our carvery but were led to believe we could eat in the bar when we arrived. We were greeted by a most unhelpful girl, who didnt think we could have a table outside, all very odd as there were plenty of tables. No one seemed to know what was happening, food seemed to be ordered by a Chinese whispers system! We ordered and paid for our food, were sent to our table to wait for someone to collect us. We were hungry, but there appeared to be no system, no communication, and finally after half an hour or so we were escorted to the carvery. There was a lot of meat including very rare beef, the veg selection was broccoli and cheese, carrots and red cabbage, some cubes of roasted root veg and roast potatoes. It sounds nice doesnt it. Well by the time we had carried our cold plates back outside the food was really cold. We wondered whether to complain, but we felt no one was really bothered, no one asked how our food was, and so we decided we would just leave and put it down to experience. Horribly disappointing as the hotel is in a glorious setting. Service and food should be much better for the price.

Lovely building, well kept grounds, polite staff, great location. Room is spotless and the decor is tasteful. A generous breakfast, although a strange hybrid of buffet and a la carte (not sure why). Only gripe, the wifi is rubbish. Otherwise, great place.

The restaurant and bar area for food is very good, service is good, very nice place to go and relax with friends. Great location and friendly staff.They need to get a bit more up to date with the selection of drinks at the bar.

Booked early in the week for the following Sunday cavery. There was a fixed price for 1,2 or 3 courses.We arrived dead on time and asked whether we would like to go to the bar first or straight to the table. Decided to go straight to the table and were escorted to a pleasant room with low level ambience music. The spacing between the tables was fine so as to talk to one another in comfort without listening in to other conversations or being heard yourself.A waitress come over and filled our glasses with tap water and was soon followed by a bread offering and another waiter with the food and drink order requirement. The soup I ordered was hot and very tasty (wild mushroom). My partner had chicken and pork terrine and again was well received. The organisation was excellent in that we were informed that before we went upto the carvery station the waitor would check with the chef if he was ready to receive us. This is a welcome change to other caveries where a queue had formed or certain vegetables/gravy needed to be replenished. The meat and vegetables were well prepared and most enjoyable. Coffee to follow was included in the total price for drinks and the two courses. Would recommend and will visit once more when in the area to enjoy the extensive menu or the cavery. The gardens looked very nice to enjoy a drink whilst looking coastward.

Visited for an evening meal with our dog. Sat outside in the garden which is huge and plenty of from for the dog. Staff very welcoming. Starter and main were okay, dessert was amazing!! Would recommend.

This splendid building with links to Sir Winston Churchill sits in Overstrand and is a traditional olde type English Hotel. Full of History and with plenty of space it soaks up the local atmosphere. It was expected that the afternoon tea would be similar. However I was disappointed with the food, the scones were hard and cold and not very appetising, which spoilt the day. The grounds are superb, and the decor is excellent. Shame about the scones

In a lovely position, some rooms with a sea view, this hotel somewhat retains the atmosphere of a residential home. We expected Basil Fawlty to appear at any moment.

We enjoyed the lovely position overlooking the sea. The staff were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. I chose the fish and chips which was tasteless, a tip for the chef.... Use beer in the batter, season it well and use tasty fish. Pollock is only good for fish pie!!! My husband chose the beef burger and found the burger stringy and again low in taste!We have enjoyed meals here before so hope for better luck next time. Denise

staying on a campsite and wanted a hot evening meal looked at a pub but very expensive so walked to hotel. we had a lovely meal. service good and finished our drinks in a beautiful garden

We had the cream tea for an anniversary treat. It was disappointing. The scones were very burnt. Sandwiches had little filling. The food just looked like it had been thrown on the plates. Such a shame because the hotel is lovely & the staff were lovely too. Please IMPROVE your cream tea's & maybe we will return.

Read my review of the hotel to get the gist of the Restaurant review.. It was Much Better a few years back. Service at dinner needs attention, more attention to customer needs. Menu needs an overhaul to make it look like a fine dining experience. Wi-Fi needs to be fixed so that the customer can pay for the meal while seated at dinner.

Lured in by the bill board outside advertising 2 meals for £14 which gave no indication of when this was available. Nevertheless we stayed and had 2 main courses, extra portion of chips, 2 pints and half cider all for £33.

3 friends and I enjoyed lunch in the garden after a tiring walk. The sun shone, the food we all chose was delicious. One friend chose a vegetarian dish and said it had been excellent and very tasty, the goats cheese and warm bacon salad was well presented and enjoyed by two of us while the fourth person chose gammon egg and chips. The staff were very friendly and helpful.They do a weekday lunch time deal of two main meals for £14 which is amazing. I shall be there again

What character and charm this hotel has. We stayed 2 nights in The Lookout Suite. A wonderful view over the beautiful landscaped gardens out to sea. Ate in the restaurant both nights, the al a carte menu changed every night, you could stay for a month and have something different each night. Staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

Booked in for dinner with our children on Saturday night - staff couldn't have been more helpful and food was good. Historic building with beautiful grounds, garden games and secret path down to beach. Slightly older clientele but didn't bother us and would definitely return.

Beautiful hotel overlooking the sea. Very friendly, welcoming and efficient staff. Room excellent, bar and lounge lovely. Food extremely good, and two course offer each day very good value. Would certainly go back.

We booked this hotel for a two night stay in the Cromer Area just to relax and look around. We booked on a dinner bed and breakfast basis however the dinner was booked as an extra via a gastro pub experience voucher,The hotel was great, full of charm and character. All the staff were very helpful and pleasant. Our room was very spacious especially the newly fitted bathroom. The bed was kingsize, extremely comfortable,feather pillows and Egyptian cotton sheets made for a lovely nights sleep.The breakfast was very comprehensive including the full English which was beautifully cooked,The gastro pub experience voucher entitled us to a 6 course fine dining experience which I must say was superb,The quality of the food was outstanding, every course perfectly prepared, full of flavour and of Michelin star quality.The hotel itself overlooks the sea with wonderful walks along the cliffs, along the beach and around the village,A truly wonderful stay and lovely experience, lots to do and see locally especially the north Norfolk steam railway.Highly recommended, we will definitely book again,Mr & Mrs Measom room 9 (24-25th May)

Impromptu night away turned into two thanks to this delightful hotel.Yes it's a bit tired in places but it makes up for that in character and superb service.The room (15) wasn't big but well proportioned our second room ( 62- we had to move rooms due to deciding to stay an additional night ) was very small but both very clean with fab showers.Breakfast was beautiful in a sunny dining room and a great choice- English breakfast great quality and kippers to Die for.We had fish and chips in the garden one of the evenings over looking the sea and they were delightful - beautifully served and delicious.Service fabulous, gardens beautiful and we will definitely be returning

We had a ruby wedding anniversary afternoon tea for eight people. We had a small room overlooking the garden and the sea. The building has a great character and history. Tea was served with sandwiches, cakes and scones. Presentation was excellent and the price was very reasonable. Quality of the food was very good and plentiful. Service was of a high standard.We really enjoyed the event and would thoroughly recommend.

Whilst out for an afternoon walk, we stopped at the SeaMarge hotel for a drink. The staff were very friendly and the location was both unusual and inviting. Later the same evening we returned to the hotel with a view to eating there. The bar was busy but the staff went out of there way to accommodate us in the lounge and a tasty meal was enjoyed by all. A great place to eat with superb service.

Set front on to a lovely leafy avenue, the amazing part of this old fashioned hotel is that it backs onto a wonderful sea view. 'Old fashioned' is a compliment here as the hotel complements the old world feeling of the north Norfolk coast with good food, decent rooms of a good size and the most amazing staff..............could not recommend it more highly.

Quiet when we visited and sat by window in the dog friendly lounge. Good friendly service but no moules et frites as advertised! Doh! Otherwise food was fine.

Stunning Clement Scott bar. Double height arts and crafts room. A real honour to eat or drink in there. Staff amazing and really friendly.

This was our first stay at the Sea Marge, and we were delighted with our DB&B weekend stay. Our two dogs were welcome, and we were allocated The Cottage, a self contained bedroom, bathroom and sitting room opening onto an enclosed and private lawn area which was perfect to let the dogs out on.The food and service was exemplary, and the included dinner discount was suitable for the table d'hote menu. Drinks were reasonably priced. The bar was a delight to end the evening in, with log burner and a good choice of nightcaps.Well worth a visit, if only for high tea - which looked splendid!

We stayed at the Seamarge on Friday night for an overnight stay with my husband's parents. Check in was easy and the receptionist was really friendly and helpful. We found our rooms and were all extremely happy. The bedrooms are lovely and warm with a massive bed and stunning bathroom with a really big shower. We had our dog with us and she was really well catered for with her own towel, blanket and bowl in the room - she was really happy!!The hotel itself is beautiful and really well maintained. As we had the dog we didn't visit the restaurant but did have a sneaky peak inside and and it looked lovely. We ate in the bar which was so lovely and cosy with a massive log burner making it relaxing and lovely and warm. The food itself was a little over priced but what we had was nice. I wish we had had timefor the afternoon tea because that looked absolutely fabulous.We will definitely be back to the Seamarge. We had a lovely relaxing couple of days in a lovely warm, cosy, welcoming hotel.

The Sea Marge is a delightful building in a lovely setting and the staff are very pleasant but the quality of the Sunday carvery is only "average" at best........both the meats and the vegetables failed to "inspire" unfortunately
