Cromer's seafront hotels put you steps from the sand and the Victorian Pier. For a classic cliff-top stay, The Cliftonville Hotel offers unrivalled sea views from every room, while Hotel De Paris sits just a 2-minute walk from the beach. The Red Lion Hotel, a historic inn, serves 14 real ales in its lounge overlooking the pier. Budget-wise, expect to pay around £80-£150 per night for a double room at these properties during peak season.
For a more intimate feel, Knoll Guest House (4-minute walk to the beach) earns an Exceptional 96 guest score, and Ogilvy House (7-minute walk) is an adults-only B&B with hypoallergenic bedding. The Grove, a Georgian country house, features an indoor heated pool and two dining rooms. Most hotels offer free WiFi and parking-though at The Cliftonville, parking is first-come, first-served. Book early for summer weekends, especially if you want sea views.
