I have checked into this hotel over 40 times since my Norwich project started and I think it might…read morebe time to update my review. That number of "check-ins" above accurately reflect the number of days I've stayed. I have stayed in several different rooms and depending on how busy they are will depend on whether or not I get upgraded or just get a regular room. It is a conference center and it's the nicest hotel in Norwich, so it can fill up when there is a special event. (A movie was recently filmed in town so most of the cast and crew stayed here for two weeks.) While the upgraded rooms are nice (I had the honeymoon suite a couple of times) even the standard rooms are clean and comfortable and plenty roomy. Flat screen TVs, a work desk with UK power sockets, a trouser press, bathrobe and slippers, plus wifi that works everywhere in the hotel (not free unless you are Gold or Platinum elite) though it does get VERY slow between 21:30 and 23:00. The staff are very friendly and most welcoming. Once a month is a meet-and-greet with the management, which has allowed me to provide them with some feedback and opportunities for improvement. The 1559 Restaurant serves a continental and English breakfast buffet in the morning and a decent (if spendy) dinner. The Zest Bar is more like a golf club with less expensive entrees and the same selection of drinks and beers. Room service is expensive but good if you have to spend the night in your room on conference calls. Most of the time, the rooms are very quiet and very peaceful. I'd recommend avoiding the '01 rooms as inconsiderate guests who shout in the hallway can be heard in your room. I've also had to deal with the noise from the marquee once or twice, but closing the windows usually solves that problem. As part of a proper golf resort, there is a full 18 hole course which I have not played. There is a nice driving range that has allowed me to burn off a little frustration by smacking little white golf balls off into the distance (or not so far into the distance because I suck!) and the Pro Shop does have "house clubs" you can borrow. There is plentiful parking and it's free. The speedbumps on the drive are awful, so go slow! There are only two things that keep this property from getting that fifth star: - It is a couple of miles from the Norwich city center which means cellular coverage is poor. A taxi from the rail station will run about £10. - The hotel is not air-conditioned. Rooms are outfitted with radiators (that work well) and a three-speed rotating fan (that is great for pushing the warm air around).

Great place to play golf and have a drink in the club house cafe…read more Had brunch here when my parents stayed once. It was excellent. Great looking indoor pool.

As you walk in, you see an open space with tables-there is a cafe in this part of the centre. To your left is the pool, and gym, and to your right, the studio (For things like martial arts training) and the sports hall. All activities seem to be average value for money, but you can buy passes and get deals to make it cheaper if you go regularly. There is ample free parking on site.

The on site swimming pool was excellent and the children really enjoyed it on one of the days when we had rain. The property is ideally situated for a holiday in Suffolk and has incredible views across the Blyth valley. We definately plan to be back. Highly recommended - 5 stars!

I have owned a chalet on Beach Road Chalet Park for 20 years. I brought it because I liked the park…read moreand the fact that it did not have a club house. Scratby is a bit like Marmite some people hate and others love it. I am one of the one's who love it. The site is now run the best its been for years. It is quite a big site for the very few people who look after it, they are marvellous, they are friendly, helpful and they put in far more time and effort than they are paid for, just to keep the place looking nice to make our holiday's enjoyable. My family and I spend as much time as possible there and regret it when our time comes to return home. This is a very popular site, if a chalet comes up for sale its quickly snapped up. Most chalets are only used by the owners and their families, very few are rented out.

I have been coming to beach road chalet park every year for some time now, I have always enjoyed…read moreits proximity to the beach and the private swimming pool ( although the limited hours it's open is a pain) and I'm not sure why it closes for 2-3 hours over lunch, it would be nice if it was open later in the evening and also needs to be a little warmer. It is noticeable over the years that the place is looking tired, the gardens around the pool are untidy, and the site in general is in need of renovation. I think next year I will pay the extra and try one of the other parks opposite as they look more professional.

I wonder if all those chocolates on pillows i've encountered were accidents too? Not a nice location on a very busy main road. My window also overlooked that same main road. There are not many places to eat nearby either. The booking experience was weird, 118 pounds for 2 nights but if i added a third night it went down to 97! I was happy to get the cheaper price but i don't like being made to play games!

I don't even know where to begin with this review as…read moreI like to try to give a balanced review where possible, with a mixture of good points & some not-so-good if necessary however, this Hotel (if you could call it that?!) is by far the worst I have ever had the displeasure of walking in to. Dirty doesn't even come close to explaining it - disgusting is slightly more appropriate! Needless to say we walked straight back out and luckily found a room at the Holiday Inn near the airport (which was lovely by the way!)
