Guests say
The Lookout in Cromer is praised for its excellent central location, spacious and well-equipped interiors, and suitability for families and groups. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, ample amenities, and thoughtful touches such as welcome packs. While the property offers a great base for exploring Cromer and the coast, some guests noted that cleanliness and maintenance could be improved, and parking access is tight for larger vehicles. Overall, the property provides a pleasant and convenient stay, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Several guests commented that the property was generally tidy on arrival, but a recurring theme was the need for a deeper clean, particularly in the kitchen, bathrooms, and under beds. Some mentioned dust, cobwebs, and maintenance issues such as mould and water damage. However, a few reviews did note that the property was clean and well-presented.
The location is consistently highlighted as a major strength, being close to Cromer town centre, the beach, and public transport, yet set back from noise. Guests found it ideal for exploring the area and appreciated the convenience.

Although the accommodation was well situated the stairs to the entrance were difficult to negotiate with luggage and felt unsafe.The standard of cleanliness was poor. Although the actual parking space was adequate the access was not straightforward. The toaster didn't work, kettle lid didn't always close and the TV was unreliable. On the plus side there was plenty of room.

The location of the property is excellent. Short walk and your in the heart of Cromer.We were very disappointed with the accommodation. The property is tired and in areas not very clean.The shower has a lot of water scale marks around the outer seal and shower head, mold on the shower wall. Carpets are dirty and rug in the living room that we kept tripping over.Quite a few radiators had gone rusty. Dust on the shelving of the tv unit.This could be an amazing place if some time and money was spent on it. Very disappointed with Welcome cottages. Maybe they need to carry out an inspection.

The accommodation is perfectly positioned to explore Cromer and the surrounding area. It's on both a regular bus and train route to Norwich. We chose to use the bus as it was nearer to the accommodation. The kitchen is well equipped and has all you need to prepare anything from a quick snack to a full meal. In the down side the cleaner had missed a couple of cobwebs and the kitchen floor was in need of a good mopping. The wooden stairs up from the parking space although quite solid and wide did present a daily challenge especially when wet. That said, the positives far outweigh the negatives and at the price I would be happy to recommend it.
