Autumn at The Grove in Cromer
September, October & November
Stay on the North Norfolk Coast
Some people just crave the cosiness that autumn brings; drinks lightly spiced with cinnamon, food with deep complex flavours, the time to slow down and enjoy a good book or a beach walk with big skies full of clouds and a slight nip of the air. It’s the perfect season to book that getaway – we all love summer with its blue skies and seaside nostalgia but September and October have simple magic.
Good food and slow days create effortless autumn stays. Whatever you are looking for – a touch of luxury in our rooms, the ease of self-catering or more nature-focused glamping; The Grove have a space for you.
Dining in The Garden Rooms in autumn
Now if Summer in the Garden Rooms is all about the coast, our autumn menu speaks more to the country. Prepared by Sean O’Callaghan and his team and using Norfolk in autumn as the inspiration, the chef has looked more in land with game such as Gressingham Duck paired beautifully with deep autumnal flavours and homegrown vegetables.
Plus Autumn sees the return of Dinner, Bed and Breakfast with The Garden Rooms mere steps from your room. Evenings feel richer when you know a beautifully prepared dinner is waiting, turning a simple getaway into something indulgent and memorable. After a day of big skies and crisp air, settling in for a relaxed, chef‑led dinner is the kind of comfort that makes autumn stays unforgettable. Wake to a freshly cooked breakfast, knowing the day ahead is yours to enjoy – no planning, no fuss, just Norfolk at its best.
Sundown, our tipi restaurant serving stone baked pizza and tapas, is open for weekends through September and October.
Plan Your Stay
Autumn is the slow season, the break you book to take some much needed time by yourself or with a loved one. It is an afternoon spent playing cards and enjoying a glass of wine from local Norfolk vineyards or walks planned around the coastal path seeing blackberries growing in the wild and leaves slowly turn all the shades of orange.
More than the rest, there is so much to see across Norfolk in September and October. National Trust properties including Blickling Hall and Sheringham Park, sports club including the Royal Cromer Golf Club and the Cromer Lawn Tennis and Racquet Club and the end of the Summer Show at Cromer Pier are all ways to spend the days of your holiday.
