As a Cromer resident, this is actually my favourite place to go for a drink or meet friends. I like…read morethe character, cosiness and 'laid back' atmosphere and always manage to get a seat. There is a variety of seating options including some more private areas and staff are friendly and attentive. I'm not impressed with the food giving value for money, and the quality seems to be inconsistent but there is a reasonable range of choice. The decor needs some attention with paint peeling from the stained glass divisions, woodwork and ceilings and tends to make me wonder whether it's because of wanting to retain original features, and William Morris wall coverings that it appears so neglected 'yellowed'. The women's toilets are always clean and functional and provide quality extras, my only complaint is the height of the mirrors, I'm 5'2 and can only see my face if I stand on tip-toes. I should mention here that I have never stayed in the actual hotel, so my comments are about using the bar. Ye Olde Red Lion Hotel also has a banquetting hall and when it's laid out for a function it looks truely amazing and very 'olde worlde' I've just given this venue an extra star,( it should be 4 stars now) as recently there seems to be an improvement in the consistency of quality of food. I've taken a few more people to eat and drink there and they have all liked it and would return.

Had a really delightful lunch at the Wellington in the courtyard restaurant section. The food was…read morefresh, very delicious and huge portions. The owner spent quite some time chatting with us in between running the business which was great as we wanted to learn about Cromer and life in this gorgeous little seaside town. Very friendly atmosphere and really appreciated the great photos and artwork decorating the room. We will return!

Ate here for lunch after walking the Cromer beach. This city is famous for their crab. I had the…read moreCromer crab salad. The mixed greens could use a little bit more dressing. It has ample amount of crab meat. My husband had the fish and chips he said it was good. The batter was crunchy and fresh. Our server was nice. Hubby's beer was good. The restaurant has a nice ambience. I do recommend.

After being charged full price for a two night stay we were told there was no food and we could not…read moreget a drink after 9pm. When asked were we could get a meal, we were told everything was booked up, you could get fish and chips to take away. No assistance, in fact this was our problem we should have done our "research" before hand. We were basically asked to pay £280 for two nights for a bed. Breakfast was not included and there were no facilities to even have a drink. To ask clients to pay full price when you are not even operating as a proper hotel, bearly a B&B is disgusting. Very disappointed in the Virginia Court Hotel and the staff. I would recommend people think very hard before booking this establishment, very disappointing.

We stayed here for a week in September 2013 and found the hotel to be everything it said on the…read moretin. Comfortable rooms with all facilities such as coffee making, t.v. shower room and WiFi. It is situated in a quiet street about 10 minutes walk from the promenade and 5 minutes from the center of town. The restaurant served really top notch food and I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone wishing for a pampered break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living. A great experience

So, this is actually a timeshare, part of Diamond Resorts International. We stayed here in June…read moreof 2018. I had read reviews on Hotels.com, so I knew what to expect. If you are a Diamond Resorts member, you will probably have a fantastic time. They will treat you well. If you book a room elsewhere, prepare for them to charge you for every little thing. Pool towels will be a charge. Laundry soap will be a charge. Everything is a charge. The staff do their best to be accommodating. The facility is absolutely gorgeous. The recreation director in the bar was probably the best part of the whole stay. He was a former cruise director, and he seriously made it feel like a cruise. We went into the bar for dinner with our family and ended up staying the whole night for trivia and whatnot. Ordered dessert, more drinks. It is pricey for what you get, but the resort really is a gem in terms of property.

This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. I wouldn't fault anything and sincerely…read morerecommend. The staff are super friendly, the food at the on site restaurant is amazing, spotless rooms and amenities, security cameras on site for vehicles.. family friendly...lots of extras...will definitely book again.
