Breakfast was fabulous,we were more than happy with everything
We were more than happy with everything
LOVELY BREAKFAST
Ideal location, short walk to the centre of town, clean and comfortable, lots of choice and big portions at breakfast, free off road parking

Booking in.
Breakfast was nice but not worth the money charged. I was aware I had to share a bathroom, but the booking is misleading because it seemed I would be sharing with only one other room, it appeared to be with the whole floor.
Overpriced on booking.com
Our bedroom shared a toilet with 4 other bedrooms the toilet was separated from rooms
Lovely dog friendly property. Basic but comfortable and all the necessary amenities for a 2 night stay. Friendly staff & made our pup feel very welcome, the poop bags and dog biscuits were a great touch 🥰
Great location. Very close to the sea side and restaurants. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Room and toilets are clean.
Limited parking.
Room clean and comfortable. Breakfast very good. Good location to the beach, pier and amenities.

Great location overlooking Cromer beach and very clean
Mattress not that comfortable
Location great. On site parking only for around 10 cars so couldn’t be guaranteed.

Very dog friendly
A little dated
The pillows were a bit hard.
Room was good and beds very comfortable. Having the Cliftonville Hotel next door was a bonus
Not seeing staff and going through Booking.com
Breakfast was 10/10, staff very friendly and helpful.
Good location, nice big room that was clean,
The lady serving us breakfast was very rude!!!! The food quality was poor
We had a lovely 2 nights in Cromer, despite a thunderstorm! Very friendly welcome. The location is very good, on the cliff, 5 minutes walk from the pier, the old town, bars, restaurants etc. Our room (No.6) had a compact bathroom which was easily one of my favourite hotel bathrooms ever! Thank you. Highly recommended.
The location on the sea front was first rate. Breakfast was the best we have experienced for a long while, and we particularly liked ordering at the table and having an allocated table so that we sat at the same place each day.
Being on the top floor was okay, but it was a bit of a struggle managing more than 30 stairs with our luggage. This, however, is a relatively minor criticism
The bed was comfortable and the room itself was clean. Great location.
The shower water pressure was quite low and we found the shower a little difficult to operate. The bathroom doors are wooden shutter-style doors, so there’s very little sound privacy. You can unfortunately hear pretty much everything from the other side! I was also slightly concerned about security, as the same key used to open the main front door also opened our room door which made me wonder whether the room keys are the same across the property.
The family room was spotless and, while small, suited us nicely. The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot, and everything was exactly as described. The location is superb - facing the cliffs and a very short walk from the train station, shops, town centre, the pier and the beach.
Everything was absolutely fine and very good value for the cost. If I had to be annoyingly picky, I'd say that the small window, which opens just a crack, did not help cool down the upstairs room very much when the weather was hot - though a fan was provided to help with this.
Location was good just across the beach and not far from town.
Offer lunch and dinner
This was our second time at the Sandcliffe and again the stay was over and beyond perfect. Well done 'Team Sandcliffe' you were yet again outstanding
Good stay, very friendly and welcoming. Top marks all round..
Leaving.
Simplicity and quality of the room. Cleanliness Never had breakfast , but the breakfast area was modern and bright.
Stairs
Great access, location and facilities
Bar shuts at 8 pm
Good location, comfortable bed and pillows
Small shower room and not much space for clothes (but we were in a cosy double)
Friendly staff , wonderful room and was perfect for our dog too. We had a room on the ground floor by the door which was ideas for taking him out . Was a welcome treat dog for him on the bed and a little card showing where we could go on the beach and vets numbers etc . It’s hard travelling with pets but the little extras meant the world . Lovely large room and TV will absolutely come back again.. Home from Home
Nothing
Great location, it's a short walk along the main road into Cromer town centre. I was able to park on the street next to the B&B because the car park was full. The reception manager was friendly, the room was very clean with lovely cotton sheets on the bed. No issues, would stay here again.
10:30am is a bit earlier than usual for checkout.
Stunning Value Very clean Very friendly. Very happy customer
Lovely clean room with Seaview. Comfortable bed & nice to have a fridge in the room. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. Everyone was very friendly & helpful And we managed to get a parking space outside the front
We liked everything 😊

The Hotel is near the beach.
The hotel should provides the fan, especially, we were in the second floor, the room is the hottest part of the building. We had to sleep with the window opened and the door ajared. Fortunately, it was booked for two nights or less we have to move out to another hotel'
Location, cleanliness, friendly welcoming staff,great breakfast,spacious double room with stunning sea view
Great room view and facilities, very comfortable! Towels, TV, kettle, hairdryer and water refills were included and wasn't expecting such a lovely window view. Was worried about the queues for shared bathroom but there are a couple of them on each floor and was allowed to use any.
Only things that would have improved our experience was if tissue boxes and toothpaste tubes were included in the room, and a shower hose slightly leaking which made the bathroom floor wet.
Location was great, with ease of parking being a bonus. Breakfast was delicious and served by very friendly and helpful staff.
No improvement needed.
Was a small guest house. We stayed in a recently refurbished room with an enquiry small but fully functional for 1night stay
Breakfast not being self service/help to continental side. No clear availability
Great location being close to main amenities. Well kept and clean. Good parking options available near if none at the property. Friendly staff.
Water pressure could play up at times. Drains blocking also a bit. But not a major issue.
friendly place to stay at, breakfast was the best we have ever had .
Nothing to dislike
Výborná lokalita, možnost parkování
Nepříjemná obsluha první den u snídaně, další den již byla jiná paní a ta byla velmi milá
Breakfast was fantastic
See view
The price & breakfast wasn’t included
Our room overlooked the sea and we could also see the pier. Breakfast was very good with a extensive menu, and was delicious. Location was good, being a short walk into the town, and, of course, the sea views. They displayed a 'Top Ten' of restaurants and eateries in Cromer which we used to our delight.
The limited parking on site was not ideal, although there was a car park about 100m away which was £2 per night.
Nice & clean, lovely breakfast & friendly, helpful staff. I would definitely staff there again.
Air-conditioning room was a bonus surprise considering the hot weather ,breakfast was great although we had to pay extra for it .all staff was helpful and friendly
Nothing
Great breakfaat
Shared bathroom, no desk
The rooms were very clean, beds comfy and fluffy towels. Breakfast was 4 courses you get plenty of choice. Martin was a font of knowledge explaining what was on in Cromer and surrounding areas, nothing was too much trouble for Martin. Met the cleaner, lovely lady who made up our room, can well recommend a stay here

Great location friendly helpful staff and a good choice for breakfast.
Great location, very clean, staff friendly and efficient. Had second floor room so lots of stairs up and down, slanted ceiling so a few head bumps too. Good breakfast. Breakfast room lacking warmth due to dark wall paint. Enjoyed my stay regardless.
Everything
Only one window so not enough air in room
Location
Top floor. Noise. No curtains on windows
Location and helpfull staff
All ok
If I had to describe in 3 words I would say our stay was clean, quiet and comfortable. The room was spotless, it was in a fantastic location just a short few minutes walk in the centre of everything and we could even bring our dog! We were able to check in a little early and parking was easy.
We didn’t realise but we had booked one of the 2 rooms on the first floor that had shared facilities. When arriving I was a little concerned about this but they were kept very clean and as there was only 2 rooms sharing, we never had an issue getting into the toilet / shower room. However I feel this could have been made more clear on the booking beforehand.
Clean and friendly staff 👌
Nowhere to hang towels etc. Needs more rails hooks and shelves
Location is great close to sea front , lovely bedroom ,
Clean bedroom, very comfortable bed, good shower.
That not all the bedrooms have an en suite toilet and shower.
Its clean & tidy not to far from the centre 5 to 10 min walk. The price is fair.
Shame the rooms aren't en suit but the facilities aren't far away.
Staff: All very friendly, helpful and cheerful. Location: Path (not steps) down to the sea front. Breakfast: Good, hot, real porridge, made as I requested with oat milk. Plenty of natural plain yoghurt.
I found the Sandcliff on Booking.com, and booked through them. They offered only a room without a lavatory, presumably because I said I needed a single bedroom. I don't know whether an en suite room would have been available in a bigger room, but next time I will book directly with the hotel and hopefully find a room which is en suite. But in any case there will, I hope, be a next time. Cromer, and the Sandcliff, suit me.
The breakfast was very good and the staff very pleasant and helpful
None
Location great Room nice with a sea view
Expensive for what it was. Booked with small dog, then told they didn't know we had a dog......
So central to shops and promenade
Nothing - everything was good room bed breakfast If anything could do with later checkout time
Breakfast was really great and nicely presented. Staff were really warm, available and helpful Lovely location right on the beach
Perfect location, friendly staff, very nice homely feel - we didn’t opt for breakfast but it smelled lovely!

Det mesta bra.
Toalett saknades på rummet, inget jättestort problem.
Nice and clean
Sharing Toilet is too far from our room prefer the toilet is the same level to our room my husband have difficulties walking
Breakfast was lovely and well presented with good staff
We were pleased with our large room with good facilities including a large bay window which had a view of the ocean on one side. We would definitely use this guest house again.
My husband would have liked a small fridge or cooler to keep drinks cool.
Location
A little tired
It was such a lovely clean and tidy hotel in a wonderful position right on the sea front. The staff were friendly and for the price, it had all we needed for a three night stay
For us, it was perfect apart from the internet going down and me not realising so using up all the data on my phone.

Toilets shared bathroom facilities
Amazing location, spotless rooms, lovely staff!
There were no problems, it was all really easy and lovely.
Excellent breakfast
The hotel was in a very convenient location, almost opposite the entrance to the beach, which was perfect for us. Check-in was easy and the room was spacious. There was a kettle in the room, so we could make a cup of tea, which was useful. We did not have breakfast, so cannot comment on that. Parking was limited. We managed to get the last space, but there only seemed to be about five spaces altogether, so I would not rely on it. Even though it was a hot day and the hotel did not have air conditioning, the room stayed cool, which was greatly appreciated. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We only stayed one night and would have happily stayed longer, but unfortunately they did not have availability

Very friendly staff, great location, not far from the beach,pier or town centre. Great choice for breakfast.

I like the location of the place.
I can't think of nothing negative.
We had a lovely stay and were happy with everything.
There was nothing we didn’t like!
Location is perfect 5 mins walk into town and to to the beach, very clean hotel great staff , awesome breakfast
Hard pillows but will just take my own next time
Lovely staff. Great location and a very comfortable bed.
The extractor fan in the toilet didn't work.
Handy for Cromer and the beach. Got a parking space. Check-in went smoothly.. Clean and bathroom nice
Easy walk into the town centre and on the promenade.
Property was clean, staff were friendly, breakfast was excellent.
I put a sign outside my room one day, please make up my room and it did not happen. My breakfast table and surrounds were not cleaned properly from day to day.
This is a fairly basic hotel but it was clean and the staff were most welcoming and efficient. The location is perfect being only a short walk to the town centre. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks to all the staff for a most pleasant stay :-)
There was nothing to dislike
Puiki vieta trumpam poilsiui😁
Lovely location. The room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We were very grateful that we could leave our bags there before and after check-in - it allowed us to make full use of our time. Just an 8-m8nute walk to the train station.
Nothing not to.like
Spacious comfortable room, very quiet. Excellent breakfast choices. Lovely friendly staff 😊
There was nothing wrong!
5 minutes away from the bus station
The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was super clean and comfortable. The mattress was of excellent quality, we slept so well. The choice of breakfast was great, beautifully presented and great tasting. The best of all it's very affordable. It will be our place of choice each time we visit.
My only dislike was the room allocated was at the top of the building up two flights of stairs. That was my error, I should have asked for a ground or first floor room. There is no lift and so people like me who have mobility issues need to note this when booking. Excellent otherwise. It deserves its three stars.
Friendly helpful staff
We had a beautifully clean sea-view room with en suite facilities on the 3rd floor. Great views of the sea and promenade west of the pier. A short 10-15 minute walk into the centre of town, with the beach closer though a walk down the cliff steps or path. Fabulous varied breakfast worthy of a 5* hotel. We are already thinking of booking for a later date in the year.
No lift and limited accessibility for the less able, some rooms share bathrooms, but it is a guesthouse with proportionate rates dependant on room facilities. We booked a double sea-view room with en suite at a very reasonable price. it was excellent, clean, comfortable and quiet. No bar or restaurant facilities other than a beautiful breakfast room, however there is an hotel with those next door open to non-residents and restaurants and pubs are within a 10 to 15 minute walk. Limited hotel parking onsite but on road parking right outside or 24 hour public car park within 5 minutes.
Very clean and tidy staff very helpful
Wrong room
One single bed no bathroom no toilet like being in prison wanted to leave no other of a refund never use again
