A historic seaside inn with sea views, hearty food, and Cromer charm.
Set on the seafront of Cromer, The Red Lion Hotel carries the feel of an old coastal inn with modern comfort woven through. The building, with its red-brick façade, faces the North Sea, so many rooms open to views of waves and wide skies. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and unfussy: deep armchairs, wooden beams, and the low hum of a pub that has long been part of local life.
Rooms vary in size and style, but each comes with thoughtful details—tea and coffee trays, soft linens, and private bathrooms. Some overlook Cromer Pier, letting guests fall asleep to the sound of the tide.
Food is another part of the experience. The inn’s restaurant serves seasonal dishes built on Norfolk produce and seafood, while the bar pours local ales beside an open fire. WiFi runs throughout, pets are welcome in designated rooms, and families will find larger spaces designed to fit them in comfortably.

Cromer is a compact seaside town where daily life still revolves around the sea. Fishermen haul in crabs and lobsters that end up on dinner plates across Norfolk, while the pier continues to stage classic theatre shows. Walks along the beach stretch for miles, and the Norfolk Coast Path passes right through, offering cliff-top views worth the effort.
