Clarence House Reviews

Kirstie
Lovely house and very close to the town centre with all the amenities you need.
Juliet
A lovely house, very well placed in central Cromer.
Dean
The ground floor doesnâ??t do the property any justice. The bedrooms are all at a better level than the ground floor. The back outside space could do with upgrading, getting rid of the weeds.
Lynda
We had an extremely nice â??familyâ?? week with children and grandchildren, helped by some pretty good weather. The location of the house is perfect, close to the pier and beach and many eating places, and we managed to load and unload the cars with little difficulty. The property is well laid out and comfortably equipped. We found parking in the main car park to start with, but later on in local streets.
David
Great location. No driving required for a great beach holiday. Well equipped and spacious.
Rosemary
OMG what an incredible cottage. So close to the beach and town it couldnâ??t have been a better location. The comfort of the whole place was amazing but the beds take it to top class. We loved our stay, the grandchildren enjoyed the surf school camp and would recommend it for busy children
A D

Kerry
Great location
Maxine
We enjoyed a lovely stay at this welcoming cottage. It was very convenient being in walking distance of shops and restaurants in Cromer, with easy access to the seafront too. Thank you for the welcome gifts - they were a nice surprise!
Cherrelle
This is a real gem. A toilet on every level, it's a real family home . Although there isn't a view it is central , there is a public car bay around the corner. We will definitely return.
Heather
We had a super stay here. Four adults, a child and two dogs. We loved staying so close to the town centre. A beautiful house with the most amazing, huge bed on the top floor. Everything we needed was there and a lovely little welcome basket too. Very clean, modern ans comfortable. At the end of the day we welcomed the use of the dishwasher! If you have disabled parking, thereâ??s some spaces close by. We paid to rent a driveway in Cromer which was secure for our six seater van. Downstairs toilet was very handy for limited mobility and our child. Hillside Animal Sanctuary is a must. Holy Garden Centre is good too. Both dog friendly x
Caroline
This is are second visit and itâ??s perfect for us. Especially the location, as my husband has mobility issues.
Linda
Fantastic Cottage in excellent location. Cleanliness, equipment and decor all of a really high standard. We all had the most wonderful time.
Matthew
Lovely house in very central location. We paid for a week's pass at a public car park, and then barely used the car. Excellent Red Lion pub at the end of the street, then straight down to the sea front. Co-op supermarket very close by too. The house is well-kept/equipped. The second floor main bedroom with en suite is particularly spacious, with a large and extremely comfortable bed. Hot water on demand, and the central heating (we had a couple of cool days) effective and user-friendly.
Tracy
Beautiful townhouse right in the centre of Cromer, 30 seconds from the sea. Decorated and furnished to a very high standard. Excellent pub at the end of the road, facing the sea, would highly recommend. Very clean and very comfortable. A few minor maintenance issues which will hopefully be rectified. Would definitely return.
Sherrie
Lovely property in a great location. We had a great time here, the pub across the road is excellent and everywhere was very dog friendly. Parking was not an issue as there are plenty near by where you can pay for a weeks parking at a reasonable price. Would definitely come here again.
