The Dales is set in some beautiful grounds and is very convenient for Sheringham and the North Norfolk Railway. The garden even has a giant chess board- wonderful! It is a very attractive building and the family room is absolutely delightful. The hotel was clean, modern and practical which is rare for hotels in North Norfolk in my experience. There... more

The hotel is absolutely beautiful and set in wonderful surroundings, so it is perfect for a relaxing break and is a great location for walks. The lounge overlooking the garden is lovely to unwind in with a drink after a busy day and there is a selection of games too which is a nice touch. Service is marvellous. Staff are... more

Arrived for a 2 night midweek stay and were shown to our room (Bittern). Immediately we smelt damp and were not impressed. It is a ground floor room that gets little sunlight and really should not be offered as accommodation. However, when we complained we were shown to two other rooms without fuss and chose Grebe. This turned out to... more

A good hotel. The restaurant is fantastic with dinner and breakfast being excellent each day. Rooms are a good size and bathrooms were nice. My only little niggles were soap and other toiletries were not replaced when empty and the TV needs more choice especially on nights when the weather is poor. Overall though a cosy hotel and recommended for... more

We stayed in a four poster room which was very comfortable withn plenty of room and seating. The grounds were nice and a pleasure to walk in. The dinner was rather disappointing, my wife's main course had to be returned, and it took so long to replace it that I had finished mine before it arrived. So in the end... more

We've used TripAdvisor for several years in vitally deciding where to stay and where to avoid both here in the UK and around the world. We've consistently found the reviews and tips/hints to be invaluable in making not only the right choice of hotel but also learning how to make the very best of our stays, wherever they are in... more

We have just returned from a surprise "romantic getaway" at The Dales. All I knew was that we were going to a place near Cromer. On the way we stopped at Holt - and had a great pub lunch annd checked out all the shops - another lovely place! When we arrived at The Dales, I was completey bowled over!... more

Stayed 2 nights at the Dales with members of my extended family. I was pleasantly surprised after some of the reviews I had read. We had 4 rooms between us; 3 superior and 1 deluxe. All the rooms were spacious and comfy with pleasant views of the lovely gardens or surrounding countryside. Perhaps some people might find the decor and... more

My wife & I are OAP's but have NEVER stayed any place quite like this place with such a sour faced miserable bunch of (older than us) people! During dinner/breakfast etc they just sat & either stared into space or shut their eyes - did not converse at all - and if you dared to laugh whilst conversing youselves one... more
