The Grove in North Norfolk

Great service and food.The room 11 was so special and comfortable. Gardens very nice and close to the sea......great anniversary break. Breakfast was excellent great quality, well done.

Have been visiting Cromer many many times over the years but had never found this gem before. Was made to feel welcome as soon as we set foot in the building - very personable and friendly. Food was amazing with many ingredients home grown. The venison and chorizo stew to share was out of this world. They were also very patient with young diners - offered a children’s menu too. Already planning our return.

Our first trip to the Grove garden restaurant . Despite being locals as they are not dog friendly had to wait til we could get a sitter. Beautiful grounds though poorly lit for parking. Very warm welcome into beautiful building. Mix up with our booking so we had to wait to be seated. We had two courses which were really superb. Only thing that let it down was slow chaotic service - we had 4 different people serving our table- which led to our dessert being forgotten. The manager kindly offered a free drink as recompense. Lovely staff and wonderful food. Would go back

Lovely setting Excellent efficient and friendly staff Wonderful food And for the quality very reasonable prices I had the game terrine followed by crispy belly pork- both were lovely Thoroughly recommended

We had booked an afternoon tea for a family 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The service provided by Jodie was superb from start to finish - she had decorated the table with 50th anniversary serviettes and sparkling decorations, and we were thoroughly looked after throughout the time we were there. A bottle of prosecco that I had asked for was waiting for us in a wine cooler by the table, and nothing was too much trouble. A thoroughly enjoyable experience thanks to the care and attention shown by Jodie. We'll be back!

We visited Sundown at the Grove and we had a wonderful evening ... Great food ... very friendly staff and excellent value for money .. we will be back next year .. thank you

We went and had a delicious selection of tapas and pizza at Sundown-there are so many to choose from! It is such a cool vibe with great decor and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Only a short holiday in Cromer so searched for a decent restaurant. This one came up with good reviews and as it does Tapas, it was very inviting. The staff in the Sundowner Restaurant were excellent, explaining how the ordering worked. The food was freshly cooked and you could watch it all happening. Everything was fabulous and very, very tasty AND value for money. We particularly liked the Cromer Crab. We paid £59.50, which also included two drinks, all portions were generous.

Went because we had a red letter day voucher and used a Tesco voucher to stay overnight at same hotel.Knew because of this the room would be small but it was fine for an overnight stay,clean and comfortable and big enough but the bed was a double which is a big no for us.Luckily the food was absolutely awesome to make up for this.Best dinner we’ve had in a long time.Big wow to the chef.Loved that you could check out online and pay your balance.Felt very welcome

I ate here recently with friends on a Saturday evening. The restaurant wasn't too busy, and the service was friendly and efficient. The menu isn't too extensive but there should be something for everyone. The prices weren't too bad and the food was good quality.

We ate here a couple of times while staying at the hotel. The food at the Grove was the definite highlight of our stay - the steaks especially were delicious. The servers were all excellent as well.

After having several expensive but poor quality meals in Cromer we were starting to think that the food in the area was not good. We then went to The Grove and finally had a marvellous evening! We sat in a lovely cosy sitting room initially and chose our drinks. The waitresses were very pleasant and friendly. We then went through to the main restaurant. We were very happy with the food, very good quality and I didn’t mind paying a little more for it. Even the kids were happy and they are extremely fussy eaters! All in all an excellent evening to end our holiday.

Sundown was great, took the kids here when we were visiting Cromer for the day. Staff were friendly and attentive, Michael was particularly helpful. The food was quick to arrive and we had a couple of pizzas and some tapas that both girls have been raving about ever since. We’ll definitely be back!

Richard and the team looked after the 10 of us so well. Food and wine aplenty (recommend the Hogget). Atmosphere was relaxed and felt like we were at home

So, i was bought a voucher for my birthday by a friend for an afternoon tea at the Grove. My husband has unfortunately had three lots of major surgery in London in the last year and i have been unable to use it until yesterday. I asked the Grove via e mail if i could have it as a take away and was told yes i could and was asked when i would like it for. I emailed back twice over two days and got no reply. On the third time i e mailed i included my phone number and promptly got a phone call (this was three days after my initial e mail).I was told i could collect it at 2pm yesterday which we did. At approximately £40 for an afternoon tea, and knowing what the Grove was like historically (albeit 20 years ago), i had high expectations! My husband and i opened the box to find some dried up sandwiches (one of which had one missing!!), which looked disgusting. Two scones which were hard; a small tub of cream, two burnt cheese straws, two mini sausage rolls,two tiny jars of jam, two very small bottles of prosecco, and four tiny bits of cake which had seen better days. We were so so disappointed and in fact horrified at the quality and quantity of the contents of the box. Apart from the prosecco and two miniature jars of jam, the whole lot went into the dustbin. We were not willing to take the risk of becoming ill by eating the contents. I would not have even offered the contents to my dogs it was so below standard. I feel we got the previous days left overs ( as one who bakes alot i am in fact sure we did). I would never recommend an afternoon tea from here, and i would have given a zero if i could have. We are locals, and i thought so much better of the Grove than this!

We arrived towards the end of day and were so pleased that they were still serving main meals. Really organised for Covid-19 rules and inside dining. We had two main courses. Pie of the day and scampi. There’s an excellent choice of dishes as well as tea and cakes. We took away two sausage rolls for a sneaky supper snack which were delicious! Thank you for making us welcome and for great service. Good luck for a busy summer.

Lovely location, genuinely friendly welcoming staff and outstanding delicious food. Wish were local as we could visit more often

We visited the day of the second lockdown. Google maps initially directs you to a new housing development, but head round the corner and you'll see the venue, which is a small country hotel, and looks very nice. The food is good, but a few minor issues. Starter of mussels in cream was fresh and tasty, but a bit heavy on the cream for my taste. Could have done with some fresh parsley and the "artisan" bread was indistinguishable from supermarket sliced. The second starter of salmon was good but needed a toast or crouton for texture.We ordered the beef and chicken for mains. The chicken was supposed to be accompanied by dauphinoise but was replaced with boiled spuds. It was the day of lockdown, so I suspect they just switched for convenience. The purees to accompany the chicken were bland. I think a vegetable is needed to balance the dish. The beef main was excellent, and the pureed potatoes were good, but again the other purees were bland. We shared the de-constructed Eton Mess and it was good. The carbonated lemon curd was superb, sharp and "fizzy". The service overall was friendly and good but a bit patchy. Not easy to "catch their eye". I would recommend and it would get a five from me with a few minor tweaks.

We chose this venue near our hotel because of the TA reviews. Therefore I was expecting better. It's a guest house open for dining. We had a warm welcome and shown to the dining room. Because the tables and floor had no coverings (probably to make it easier and cheaper to clean between guests) it all seemed a bit stark and not what I was expecting for the rating.The service was good and the wine list perfectly good. I had a very good creamy mussels starter (the highlight of my meal) and my wife had tasty leek & potato soup. Then we both had roasted trout which was only average. For dessert I tried the chocolate creme brulee which had a lemon sorbet topping - too much of a contrast for my taste.Overall it was a pity that, for me, it didn't live up to the 4.5 star TA rating, even if it may have been the best restaurant in the local area.

We chose the restaurant from a selection around north norfolk and although was out of our way we were really pleased we came.Drinks in a comfortable lounge in front of a fire before the meal. Some lovely wines and the menu and food was superb. Very surprising the quality of the cooking and food. The surrounding sometimes lend themselves to complacency of just serving hotel guests but the chef clearly caters for diners and whilst a quiet country hotel feel to the restaurant the food made all the talking for us.Being picky we had to point out the woody leeks and were totally confused why the chef would serve them considering the quality and flavour of everything else. I must say however, give it a try I dont think you will be disappointed. Atmosphere wise is a little quiet as you would expect from a hotel resaurant. but make your own atmosphere :)The service was professional attentive and friendly.Thank you a gem which could really be something :)

The restaurant is very Covid savvy and the bulk of the staff are very friendly however the actual service was disappointing and slow with many of the staff being unaware of diners needs. No complaints re quality of food however the drinks were overpriced.

we had read good reviews so were looking forward to our dinner here but were so disappointed. We had booked a table and arrived 10 minutes early and seated in the bar but not even offered to order drinks whilst we watched countless staff pass by and ignore us. We finally ordered and were shown to a dark table in the corner of the restaurant. Our starter of venison scotch eggs was so dry we considered pouring our wine over it. The hard boiled eggs in the centre had been cooked to death. My husbands fillet beef came with totally flavourless coloured spots on the plate and a teacups of a bovril like brown salt which was totally inedible. When we told the waiting staff about our view of the meal we were dismismissed with the comment that it was supposed to be like that and ushered out having paid for our overpriced undervalued disappointing meal. Needless to say we will not return

Recently visited for cream tea with family, but unfortunately came away feeling a bit disappointed. Food wise, the brownies and macaroons were delicious, however the rest left a bit to be desired. The sandwiches seemed to have an excessive amount of butter, but hardly any filling, and the other cakes felt shop-bought and a bit uninspired. The scones weren't fresh and we were originally only provided a small pot of clotted cream to go round our party of 4, which seemed funny when by comparison we were given pretty much a bucket of milk to go with our hot drinks. However the young waiter did bring us some more clotted cream and overall was very polite and helpful.Another note on the scones was one member of our party told me that when they had previously visited they had been asked if they wanted a plain or fruit scone. But on this occasion we were just provided fruit. Overall, a real shame as we had been looking forward to our visit.

Returned to the restaurant again last night and was not disappointed. They are working hard to make sure COVID rules are implemented and make you feel very safe in their establishment. Once again, food excellent, service friendly and relaxed. Always come away thinking of when I can go back again! Highly recommended.

We ate here after seeing the banner outside offering pizzas on the lawn. Some of our party were unhappy eating inside a restaurant with the current Covid situation so this seemed like a good option. We were staying in town near the pier and this restaurant was a pleasant 15 minute walk out of town. We were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to a large table outside well spaced from other tables. All of our party were completely comfortable with the safety of the arrangements. Our drinks order was taken promptly and there was a play area for children to keep them occupied while we waited for our food. The pizzas were excellent with a good choice and everyone enjoyed the food. There was a good choice of desserts which were of equally good quality. The menus are available online so we knew what to expect before arriving. Staff were attentive without being intrusive. All in all we had an excellent night out and were able to walk off the generous portions on the way back down in to town.

Booked on Monday, 17 August, via their app for Wednesday, 19 August. On checking what time we were expected we find out our booking has been changed to the 2 September. On that day we will be 200 miles away at home. Telephoned and spoke to a female who was very unsympathetic and refused even to acknowledge that there was a problem. I suggest anyone trying to book this restaurant rings them direct to avoid the same confusion we experienced.

Belated birthday meal for my mother which we were really looking forward to as she has been in self isolation for five months.The house itself is an old building and quaintly attractive and in a beautiful setting not far from town, perfect start until we walked in and greeted by a rude manager/ waitress we were not sure as she was just happy moaning that they were exceptionally busy and rolled her eyes.Begrudgingly shown to our table which was not in keeping to the old style property,it was relatively modern with leather chairs and no tablecloth ! I know we are still in a pandemic and life is still a little different but there was no effort made,a little vase of flowers would of been pretty in a dark dull room.The menu was on line only,shame if you didn’t have an internet device,again attention to detail,a few print outs on paper do not cost the earth and can be discarded for recycling.After ordering two of the meals were wrong and sent back,forgivable mistake but not an apology from the manager/head waitress.Other waiting staff were pleasant especially the lovely lady whose first night it was thank you for making us feel more relaxed.The food was definitely not worth the money and disappointing.... Had many meals in Cromer but this was sadly a poor show in many ways....! Again the rudeness continued when the card payment machine came and was told in no uncertain terms..’ Put your card in the machine,wait and then enter you pin’ NO please or Thank you ! I do not know how I kept calm and did not say anything, I wish I had now. When we left the dining hall there was not one member of staff to say goodbye,thank you or hope you enjoyed your meal.All of us walked out feeling we had an unhappy experience even my two young grandchildren commented that nobody said goodbye.I have been in hospitality and rudeness is not acceptable,mistakes with food at busy times are.I would just like to add that I am not normally a negative person and do not feel happy with myself leaving such a negative review but first impressions count and ours was an unpleasant one.....from start to finish...!

We had a perfect two course meal, fabulous food served by attentive and friendly staff, couldn’t have asked for any more, so much so we made a return booking.

Service very slow. Starters good when they finally came. My main was meagre on the monkfish which was chewy from being overcooked. My wife's butternut squash and ricotta was just a couple of bits of squash and no ricotta. When asked they came back with a small bowl of cold ricotta. Overall a very poor meal despite the nice hotel setting. Thoroughly not recommended!

At the time we didn’t want to bring anything up as the lady who served us was very attentive and kind but on reflecting I’m really quite disgusted at the Liberty taken at this time with serving food to people when ill, especially at this sensitive time. We both heard the waitress coughing her guts up after ordering our food which pretty much automatically put us off the remainder. You could hear she was ill when she spoke, we can’t understand why on Earth she was working when having such clear symptoms putting everyone else at risk. The food that was served was Luke warm, looked pretty but not overly impressive in flavour for the price paid.

Visited this wonderful restaurant again this week with friends and as always had a fantastic meal. Staff so friendly and surroundings lovely. Never disappointed.

We visited with parents/in-laws for the Christmas Launch Tasting menu (as a gift to each other). I'm so pleased I came across it, as it really was a truly exquisite dining experience. The location is great, the food was exceptional, as was the customer service. It was excellent value for a 7 course tasting menu and wine flight. Our parents/in-laws hadn't done a tasting menu before and loved it. We'd certainly go again! Thanks to everyone on The Grove team for an evening to remember!

On arrival this looks like a typical country house style restaurant. We were greeted by staff and shown through to a comfortable seating area to look at the menus, chose a bottle of wine, which was average price for this style of restaurant. Taken through to eat and we chose to have two courses, main and desert. The food was delicious so many individual flavours and complementing each other a true fine ding experience! Three niggles:The staff were dressed in very poorly fitting clothing which were showing too much of the staffs profilesThe staff were not particularly friendly and whilst we were choosing our food they were bickering amongst themselvesThe wine was lovely and well chilled but was served in extremely cheap glasses which were very thick. That said, we will definitely return as the food was outstanding both in quality and value for money.

A wide variety of offerings, almost all locally sourced and delicious. Prices are well in line with quality.

Came in on chance they had space as non resident at the hotel. Food ok but scallops very dissappointing as served on cold plates and not worth £5 supplement. Other diner sent their course back as not cooked properly. Service ok but not outstanding.

My daughter bought me vouchers for my birthday present here as we were holidaying in Cromer at the time. What a gem! Very quirky and interesting. The food was outstanding, the best we’ve had in a long time. We loved every second of the whole experience!

My wife and I had an evening meal for both of the days we were at the hotel. The restaurant was fine on the first night ( excellent table staff - I hope they pay them well), but far from good on the second. I don't eat meat and ordered a 'jack fruit and mixed bean cassoulet' (OK, not to everyone's taste), which was to be served up with a fennel slaw. Sounded good to me. Well there were no beans in the cassoulet, no fennel slaw (just a salad), and no explanation. After questioning this, I was told that that the beans would 'be coming'. This kinda misses the point of a cassoulet, where the ingredients are stewed together.I mentioned all of this to the desk when we checked out, but they seemed pretty unimpressed and about this, apart from (obviously) not charging me for that course and a £5 deduction from my wife's meal (which was the surcharge for choosing scallops).Feeling a bit unsatisfied with this, my wife wrote to Richard Graveling, the owner, and I can only describe his response as ignorant (of what a cassoulet is) and overall sarcastic about our complaint. I've noticed from previous complaints on TripAdvisor that he doesn't take kindly to criticism and is frequently sarcastic and dismissive. So please don't respond to this Richard, I've already had enough of your sarcasm and supercilious tone.

We had a very enjoyable evening here. The table service was impeccable, starting with a pre-dinner drink in the bar. The menu was interesting and the food excellent; prices were quite reasonable for the setting.The driveway to this hotel restaurant could do with a few more lights for those walking back in the dark rather than arriving by car, but that is a very minor detail.Easily the best restaurant we found on our holiday.

The food was lovely as was the presentation. The service super friendly and efficient and just right. Not too fast and not too slow - well aware of when service was actually needed.

So my daughter is not going to die if she has dairy but she is intolerant, we did not tell them this till later as you can usually gauge what is in a main meal. She ordered the chicken which was moist but lacking in taste. It came with a cream sauce not advertised on the menu, thankfully in a separate pot, which she didn't use. Upon asking a different waiter he checked with the chef afterwards to check the ingredients of the meal to make sure there wasn't any hidden dairy/lactose which was a nice gesture. My daughter then decided to mix things up by ordering dairy free ice cream (dark chocolate) with white chocolate sauce because like she says a little bit wont hurt me. (To be clear she does NOT have an allergy, she has an intolerance to dairy). I had the tenderloin which was nice but missing something which I later realised was probably mustard, salt and truffle which is what I would suggest they add for an enhanced taste. However the pudding was out of this world just amazing I had the cheesecake 10/10.

We chose The Grove because it had lots of vegan options on its menu (most of the vegetarian options said they could be made dairy free). It was a meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was lovely that the chef created a vegan canapé for me. The bar area to wait in was really nice. However, it turned out they couldn’t make the risotto vegan, despite saying ‘df on request’, so I asked for the apple and leek strudel. When it arrived, it was served with a plate of shredded iceberg lettuce and not the rocket and pine nuts stated on the menu. When I queried this, the waitress went to speak to the chef and came back to tell me they’d run out of pine nuts and rocket. It would have been better to have been told about this when I ordered. The strudel itself was very nice though, and my husband enjoyed his scallops starter. The main courses that myself and my husband had (stuffed pepper for me and halibut for him) were both really delicious. The dining room didn’t have a great deal of atmosphere, but this was probably because there was only one other couple in there. The waiting staff didn’t seem to be really present much - I had to leave the dining room to locate our waitress to ask her about my starter. There should have been a £5 supplement for my husband’s scallops starter, which was removed to make up for my starter not being as advertised. Overall fine but not brilliant.

I visited with my partner on a quiet weekday for a special birthday dinner. The food we chose was lovely however I asked for a simple birthday message to be placed on my partners’ dessert plate.

The food at The Grove was simply amazing. Beautifully presented and very tasty. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. If you haven’t eaten here yet, I highly recommend you do, you will not be disappointed.

My partner and I visited last night and were very impressed. Lovely setting, delicious food and excellent service. We'll be back.

We had a lovely 2 course meal for £24.99 last night.

Very good Menu well prepared and presented food. Set Price for 2 courses and 3 courses Staff and location excellent.

We have just been for a 3 course meal for my partners birthday. We shared the baked cheese, Ms had the chicken and I opted for the pork. I followed with the cheese board while the lady had a passion fruit parfait. We shared a bottle of wine, had a large brandy, a glass of port and coffee.

My Mother-in-law has a thing for afternoon tea so during our stay in Cromer we visited the Grove.

Came across this restaurant by chance and we are so glad we did. The food is amazing. So many different flavours and the food cooked to perfection. The young chefs are so talented and produce dishes that you would pay a small fortune for in most restaurants. The service was superb and the hotel was a delight. Thank you for making our visit to Cromer one to remember

I am a very awkward customer with special dietary requirements. The chef couldn’t have been more accommodating. The hotel is old world relaxing charm and the food great. Yes you have to wait but then with great company in a relaxed atmosphere who cares. Quantity just great and can tell it’s cooked there and then! Had two courses which was just right!

Our experience did not live up to our expectations. Very disappointed with the food. Each course took a long time to arrive. Starter of cauliflower steak, tasted nice, cooked well, accompanying cous cous tastless and stodgy. Asparagus and leek risotto, again stodgy, sticky, greasy and lacking in flavour, accompanying puréed tasted diluted. I felt quite queasy by this point and decided not to have a pudding. I know I could have mentioned this to staff but I didn’t think telling them would achieve anything. They wouldn’t be sending the food out if they didn’t think it was fine. The waiting staff appeared to be trying their best and were always polite. Unfortunately the impression the website and appetising menu gave me online fell short of the standard I was expecting for our wedding anniversary meal.

We arrived very, very early, an hour and a half to be precise, due to cycling there and hoping to have a drink outside in the sunshine first. We were warmly welcomed and helped with where to park our bicycles and shown to a beautiful table in the sun outside. The garden is delightful, a traditional English country garden and a wonderful place to sit. We enjoyed a lovely Prosecco and local lager whilst reading a fascinating book (with photographs ) telling the history of The Grove from the 1700s to recent times. We were bought a complimentary canapé each and our order was taken outside so we could be served promptly! The dining room is a beautiful room and the food was exceptional. I had a salmon starter and my husband had the asparagus starters and both chose fillet of beef for main cooked perfectly. All fantastic. We will most definitely return!

Booked a table for 20.00 hours, arrived 30 minutes early

A different section each day plus table-d'-hote. The desserts are so scrumptious. Between us we tried them all.

We stayed for two nights and had a great time, the rooms are lovely and service is great. Dinner was excellent

Very pretentious but disappointed, the portions are extremely small, the food tasted okay, but not great.

Excellent Sunday lunch at the Grove Hotel with friends . Very friendly staff. Laid back Sunday Lunch with no rushing. Coffee in the lounge,felt very at home Well worth a visit

The service was great and very quick and easy and calm. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was - well, the only way I can describe it is GREAT!!! The food was delicious, including for allergies. Just amazing!

lovely food and very well presented a great selection for the whole family. The Copy's cloud starter is fantastic!

We stayed for just one night, self catering in The Barn. This was a great choice and suited us very well. The property was on the whole well appointed and had everything that we needed. We didn't use many of the facilities on the site or in the hotel itself as we were in Cromer to meet up with family. However our stay was positive enough for us to feel that we would return and perhaps stay in the hotel itself on a other occasion.

This place is lovely , wish could have had more time in Cromer , been before and loved it . The hotel is lovely . Lovely staff , damn comfortable massive beds ! Beautiful building and grounds as well . Breakfast also nice . One suggestion though and it won’t detract from a great stay , the heating we couldn’t change and was very hot in the room . The bathroom had both shower and a roll top bath. Very quiet place , we are used to living in a high street so the change was great listening to the birds . Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again in the future when time permits

Group of 15 of us had met up for a lovely friends 80th birthday...

We were at The Grove with friends on Saturday evening for the 6 course tasting menu with wine and it was fantastic! The wine was described and served at the table by the two charming Italian producers who were our hosts for the evening. Each course was delicious and we had a lovely relaxed meal. When I enquired about buying a case of the sparkling rose, which was amazing, it was almost as if they hadn't considered actually selling any wine on the evening which made a refreshing change from some similar events we have attended elsewhere. My only request would be the if they hold this event again, and I really hope they do, that they have wine to purchase on the night or at least an order form!

Lovely stay In great surroundings very green and lush but just a short walk to cliff top and the beach. Didn't get chance to use restaurant in the evening, but great breakfast.

Lovely stay The cottage was lush and cosy and a short walk to the beach Thank you Look forward to staying again

Excellent customer service. All staff polite and helpful. Chamber maid even offered to carry our suitcases down the stairs. Locally sourced breakfast delicious.

Had a lovely nights stay in the stable. Very well equipped. Swimming pool use was a bonus and the walk through the woods to the cliff top was great. Great hosts and the set evening meal was amazing.

We enjoyed the food and excellent location of The Grove. The weather was lovely so we took the short path down to the cliffs. Our family room had an enormous and very comfortable bed, although the bathroom was a little tired - there were marks on the walls and it was difficult to get the shower to the correct temperature. If we’d have been staying longer we would have used the pool, and it was nice to have the option of going for a swim.

A beautiful hotel. Brilliant room. Amazing evening meal and a fantastic breakfast. Only a short 5 minute walk to the beach and another 10 into the town.

Lovely hotel in a great location. No1 was a perfect family room for the four of us, the kids loved the pool, the staff were very friendly and the excellent dinner made for a perfect birthday treat.

Wonderful staff. We arrived from Bedfordshire over 1 hour before the check-in time but our room was ready and we could go in. Our room was very comfortable and warm. Lovely and clean bathroom. Good quality toiletries, complementary tea bags and coffee. Fabulous selection of foods for breakfast and service with a smile. Beautiful house. Fantastic location. However, the swimming pool was a huge letdown. I especially searched for accommodation with the swimming pool and was willing to pay £140 per night for it but very basic facilities, terrible changing rooms and cold water were definitely not worth the money. All the 4 of us were very disappointed with the pool. It needs improvements. It does not suit the stylish main building and other services provided hence only 4 stars from us instead of 5.

Young staff made us feel really at home, they could not of done more. The food was excellent . Bread and butter pudding really hit the spot.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grove, from the attentive and welcoming staff, lovely setting and walks across the cliff tops. Would recommend.

Comfortable, charming character hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent. A short walk away through the grounds you come to the cliff top path leading to Cromer. Well worth the effort. We'd stay here again without hesitation.

Four of us ate here on a cold, wet evening. Lovely, comfortable room with fire and big sofas for pre-dinner drinks. Menu was interesting and well priced for 2 or 3 courses. Dining area was peaceful with plenty of spaces between tables. Bit disappointed with prawn starter ... a bit bland. Monkfish/pork belly combo for main was yummy. No room for desert. Waiting staff need further training to be what is required for a fine dining establishment. I would return.

Warm and welcoming,just like staying at your nans.Flames flickering in the fire place,a glass of what you fancy,and a comfy big arm chair to relax into,a perfect way to chill out.

Third or fourth visit to this lovely hotel. Excellent as always. Food, staff and facilities wonderful. Restaurant always fantastic. We have moved around the corner so will return regularly for dinner I’m certain.

Lovely stay, thank you. Our room was very comfortable and the bathroom amazing! It's not often we have a great night's sleep in a hotel bed, but the bed in room 8 was the exception! Afternoon tea was delicious as was breakfast this morning. Such a shame you can't accommodate us for Malc's 70th ( you have a taster menu eve planned) as The Grove would be ideal. We will be back!

Absolutely, 100%, I will visit again. From the welcome, to the cleanliness of the room, general hospitality, wonderful breakfast and attention to detail... I could not fault this stunning accommodation.

I’ve stayed in the hotel several times before for business travels and always been impressed with the relaxed and informal atmosphere coupled with the very, very good food. So impressed I dragged my partner there on a rare non-business visit and I’m pleased to say The Grove lived up to expectations with everything we tried on the menu hitting the spot; lovely fresh scallops, very nice hake and definitely the second-best steak I’ve ever eaten. Breakfast the following morning also a triumph with a good range of locally-sourced quality ingredients and plenty of choice. Highly recommended.

Stunning place and around the area, lovely little cottage, loved it, the only problem we had lack of sleeps coz of the bed, not sure the mattress is a standerd one. woke up with bad back:(. We can actually feel the spring in the mattress. Wished we could slept better

Great little cottage in the grounds with all the basics required. Very cosy and warm. Just a bug bear of mine. With recycling, 2 bins should be provided inside. Also I don’t think it’s my responsibility to go hunting for the recycling bins outside. Clear instructions should be left as to their whereabouts. Apart from that we would definitely return.

A beautiful place to stay - the cottage was very well equipped with plenty of space for 6 people - the pool is lovely - the people are lovely - highly recommend the full body massage. Walk to the beach and the lighthouse is beautiful - hoping to book one of the yurts for the summer.

Lovely location, helpful staff and quant, clean little cottage. Ideal for a family break away. My only complaint(s) would be the oven is a bit dated and there was no guidance in the welcome pack on where to put the rubbish (and recycling).

The hotel was lovely and everywhere was clean and comfortable although our room had shutters that let in a lot of light so also need a heavier curtain on the window too. The breakfast was nice and fresh and all the staff were very polite and helpful.

A return visit with friends did not disdappoint in any way, crab may be out of season but your hospitality certainly is not. Such a lovely country home atmosphere friendly courtious and helpful staff and a wonderful menu to choose from. Thank you.

Stayed at The Grove Hotel the end of November for three nights. The food in the restaurant was excellent, staff very helpful and friendly. Nicely positioned for Cromer town and cliff walks. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

We were staying in the hotel Sunsay evening so decided to eat in the restaurant. I had read some poor reviews but they do Sunday roast in the evening - nobody could get that wrong could they? I ordered roast beef and was asked how I would like it cooked; I asked for medium. When the dinner was served I thought it looked curled up at the edges but when I tried to cut it it was really tough, like a piece of old shoe leather. I called the waitress and immediately noticed an expression of resignation, as if she knew exactly what I was going to say, and then she asked if it was tough. I told her it was and requested a piece from the middle which was not overcooked - I was then told it was reheated from lunchtime and that's all there was. They did then cook me a piece of pork which was fine, but it was a loin of pork rather than roast pork and it meant my partner and I ate at different times.

Very comfortable stay. Friendly and hassle free. Excellent breakfast. Quiet and good facilities. Useful for walking into Cromer.

Hotel room very basic, bathroom tatty and icy cold

Came here with friends for the Norfolk restaurant week

I liked the food – really tasty and fresh. Service could be better, but overall this restaurant is pretty good.

The Grove. A first class meal was eaten, was well served all at a reasonable price. We will come again.

We were intending to eat at the nearby Amber restaurant in the Country Club but did not think the menu was very exciting.Walking down the road we discovered the Grove.

Everything we could need, Perfect location, beautiful walk through to the coastal path.Restaurant menu a little limited but very good and yurt very comfortable.

Came out for a quiet relaxing evening, menu looked promising. Food was just OK, presentation was ordinary. Crab main course was the same as the starter but with some potatoes and veg! We had a relaxing evening though.

Ate there both nights of our stay. Super food much of which grown in the garden or locally sourced. Wine list good range and value.

We came here for a meal a couple of days ago. We were seated in the relaxing bar to choose our food. The menu was varied and there was a special too. We both ended up choosing the ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection. The accompanying vegetables were also beautifully cooked and had great taste. We both chose different desserts which were equally delicious and not too rich. The restaurant played good background music, the staff were helpful and the two course meal deal represented excellent value for the food we were given. I'll certainly return!

Great evening meal set menu. Good value for money, using locally sourced produce. Staff were great and looked after us all evening without being intrusive. Thank you!

Lovely staff. Very efficient and welcoming. Comfortable relaxed atmosphere. The food was of a very good standard for the cost.
