Lovely relaxing setting and a genuinely fantastic massage from Jason, he managed to release all the tension in my neck and shoulders. Thank you so much. We also took afternoon tea at our leisure, all the staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be returning.

We’re regulars to Cromer End of the Pier Show and it really is the highlight of our year both summer and Christmas. Proper family entertainment and a variety show with a great mix of comedy, magic, dance and singing from a very talented cast. Meeting the cast afterwards in the foyer is also a lovely touch.

This beautiful old Church caught our attention the minute we drove into Cromer. All the graves on the right side of the Church had garden beds of beautiful red and white petunias (I think). Just stunning. We searched out the Public Car Park to enable a visit to the Church itself. The Parishioners run a very professional Coffee and Religious style Gift Shop inside the Church, all very respectful and it was very popular and well done. The Church is beautiful and had quiet sections for prayer and the stained windows of note and oldest parts of the Church were well advised of.

I have been going to this cinema for over 40 years. My aunt used to do the bookings for the cinema from her shop on the corner of Hans Place and Louden Road. One of the earliest films I remember seeing was Live and Let Die when a Mr. Norris was manager - I also remember that he was ex-army and drove a VW Beetle. Anyway, back to my visit. This time it was to see the film "1917". Since my work to restore and repair the WW1 War Memorial in Cromer, I have done a great deal of research and reading into the "Great War" so this film was something I have been looking forward to since last May. My Great-Grandfather was killed in "1917" at the Passchendaele so part of me was thinking about that particular conflict. The film was brilliant and captivated everyone in the cinema. At the end, something happened which I have only seen happen once before. As the credits rolled, nobody moved or spoke. Everyone stayed silent and sat still. Whether the film deserved this or it was a mark of respect I don't know - personally, I think it was both. The last time by the way was in Florida, September 2006 when I went to a cinema with my son to watch "World Trade Center". The cinema is a little gem. It has 4 screens - this time I was in Screen 1 - the largest of the screens. At the opposite side of screens, the smallest is Screen 4 which is a cosy little theatre and is like a luxury cinema in your own house. I always try and sit in an aisle seat on the left side facing the screen so I can move my right leg around. Fortunately, the staff at the cinema have become used to me asking for this so are always able to accommodate my request. Accessing the cinema is not a challenge either as they have a ramp meaning I do not have to negotiate the steps. On this point, Screen 1 is ramped all the way to your seat with no steps so again, absolutely perfect. The selection of films is always up-to-date and they have special screenings here which come from The National Theatre, Royal Opera House in Covent Garden and Royal Shakespeare Company to name a few. The staff are great and always agreeable. There is a bar, popcorn and confectionery, ice cream available at a reasonable price. Yes, you can travel to the city and sit in a larger seat with a few hundred people and see a film in 3D but if you want good service, latest films in a convenient cinema that delivers what you expect this cinema ticks all the boxes. What shall I see next?

If you are in and around this part of the coast the beach here at East Runton is one you will not be disappointed by. There are cliffs so be warned don't let you children play on them. The slipway down to the beach can be classed as steep. There are a few seats at the top of the slipway if you don't want to risk the slipway the views are fantastic looking towards Cromer and the Pier.
