Great service from the very friendly staff from start of 2 night stay till the end. Excellent breakfasts included in the price of the nights stay. The room was very clean and well supplied with all the little extras. Just came back and already booked two more stays for next year. Excellent location next to the beach and pier, easy walking distance to the other bars and restaurants if you feel like a bit of a change.
Dear I4478JPharryf,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on your recent visit.
Thank you for your lovely comments, I will pass them on to the rest of the team.
Good views and selection of beers. We visit everytime we're in Cromer. And more than once. It's not wheelchair or ambulant disabled friendly from the sea side but you can go around the back. If you want a sea view you can sit on the benches at the front, which isn't ideal on a rainy day. The food is ok but overpriced for what you get.
Dear cherrym449,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback on your visit.
A relaxing two night stay here for our wedding anniversary, staying in our favourite room. Spotlessly clean and lots of nice touches. Fresh milk and water available from the landing fridge room, and a selection of teas and coffees, plus cookies. Perfect location to wander through Cromer, stroll along the pier of paddle in the sea. To fall asleep to the sound of the sea - bliss!

The Red Lion is an excellent place to stay, it is one of the reasons why we go back to Cromer next year. Why the "very good" then? Music at breakfast was irritating. There is not enough room for drinkers on teh silly high stools and way more room for people eating than is needed; if the front part of the dining area became part of teh bar and the silly high stools were replaced with normal pub tables that would be great!
Dear makethegradetuition,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
There is the bar area, conservatory & the den (both the conservatory & the den have low comfortable seating, should the bar's seating not be your favourite choice of seating. Unfortunately, the idea to use the front of the restaurant solely just for drinks, we would only have enough tables at the back of the restaurant for residents, which I'm sure would upset alot of customers if they could no longer dine with us.
I was trekking 60 miles backpacking and tenting the Norfolk Coast Walk and wanted to treat myself to a night in a Hotel in celebration of completing the walk. I booked the Red Lion through a good deal with booking.com, £149 down from £180 for a standard double inc breakfast. To be perfectly honest when I arrived and looked at the Hotel from the outside I thought to myself ‘Oh my Gawd I’ve made a terrible mistake’. BUT when inside its completely different. its been totally refurbished inside, and my room was amazing. Very comfy double bed, well cleaned throughout, fresh carpet and fittings, huge wardrobe, large TV with Netflix, Kettle-tea-coffee & milk, an honesty basket with Gin & tonic (£7.50)-nuts-chocolates & and bottle of red wine (£19), bath/shower and towelled dressing gown. My Dinner was incredible and so did everyone else’s that wafted passed my table. The Chef deserves full credit, along with the superb staff who were always cheerful and eager to serve, and the quality and standard continued through to breakfast the following morning. When praise is due, I DO NOT hesitate to dish it out - this hotel is exemplary and long may it last. The next phase is obviously the hotel exterior which is looking tired and the old windows to need replacing and I have every confidence that this will be tackled soon. One word to the Management though! As I lay soaking in the bath, I noticed the cursed green mould ‘just’ beginning to show signs on the tile grouting. This needs to be nipped in the bud before it develops, otherwise sure enough some guest will notice and photograph it with their review, and that would be an unfair shame, for this really is a fantastic hotel that’s put so much effort and hard work to make it so. Well Done Red Lion!! Just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover.
