We found the b+b on a country road. Pulling into the drive we were pleasantly surprised. The house is set in a woodland setting. It has the main house and a separate bungalow. Ronica met us as we got to the steps. She was super friendly and welcoming. We were on the top floor in a room that overlooked the back garden and a wooded area. If you like wildlife, you would love it here. We watched 3 or 4 squirrels running around, a variety of birds, including a Robin, pigeons, crows, as well as the chickens that are Ronicas pets. Roinca also has guinea pigs, a beautiful rottweiler called Agnes, who is the softest and most beautiful rottweiler I have met, and a cat. All are very well behaved and much loved. Breakfast was amazing. As well as a cooked breakfast on offer, you could have a full range of cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt and toast. If you don't want a cooked breakfast every day, Ronica will happily make you porridge, and the porridge is the best I have tasted, salmon, kippers, croissants, pastries, you can ask for anything, and if she can do it, you will have it for breakfast. Our room was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was well equipped and cleaned daily. As we have decaf, Ronica provided both coffee and teabags. Our bed was super comfortable, one of the most comfiest beds I have slept in. Would we stop again? Absolutely!!

The holiday was over too quickly.

Ronica was very friendly and her lovely two dogs and cats welcomed me on arrival. The house was lovely in a quiet area plus my room called the poppy room was very nice, the bed was very comfortable and a lovely hot shower was a plus …tea coffee plus biscuits lovely extra lots of books to read plus a choice of DVDs you can watch in your rooms 😊 Breakfast was lovely and good choice plus local butcher sausages. Was lovely to see animal friendly guest house with chickens Guinea pigs and lots of birds to watch while you have breakfast. I will definitely be visiting again.

Nothing it was perfect

We recently spent five days holiday at Thornybank. We absolutely loved it, Ronnie and her army of (animal) friends run such a warm and welcoming guest house. The private and secluded location is within walking distance of Cromer. Ronnie keeps the house spotlessly clean and is an engaging host. Our room was exceptional with a balcony overlooking stunning woodlands and a full glass. floor to ceiling window by the side of a very comfortable bed. The bathroom had a jacuzzi bath and power shower. Breakfast was a feast with everything you could think of. We really loved this most unusual place. Karen and Steve x

Nothing not to like

Room was really spacious and well equipped with everything that you would normally expect to be available, bathroom was large and again had everything that you'd expect. A nice but unfortunately unused aspect was the nice balcony with views into the garden. Breakfast was excellent!

A couple of minor details which I'm sure would have been rectified had we have mentioned anything to Ronica. The plate on which the plant in the bathroom was resting could use a clean. Having some shower gels available would have been nice, as well as the use of a hairdryer (although I think I spotted one just outside the room), within the room.

The location was just outside the town, a 5 minute drive to the town centre, but so quiet and peaceful. Our room was lovely, lots of space, and the little balcony was a bonus, to sit and watch all the wildlife was lovely. Jacuzzi bath was also a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was perfect, a large choice of cerals and a beautiful fresh fruit salad. Big pot of tea for two, lovely!

Nothing, we enjoyed everything about it.

The location was good. A 1 minute drive into Cromer or could walk down a very picturesque country lane... The setting of the property is very pretty and surrounded by countryside. The breakfasts are amazing with so much choice. Buffet table then an offer of cooked breakfasts with top quality food. Room clean & comfy bed with good bedding. Towels good and bathroom a good size. All in all a good stay. Gardens lovely front and back and parking off road. Host very helpful in suggesting where to visit if area not known...

Will have a think..... !

Very calm location with birdsong and very attractive conservatory for breakfasts in amongst the trees. The breakfasts were exceptional and Ronica very attentive and generous in every way. We felt it was a very good location for visiting Cromer and surrounding area being only a mile away....

Just tiny thing was the queen size bed seemed to tilt towards window slightly necessitating one of us choosing the bottom bunk instead...

Everything about our stay at Thornybank was absolutely perfect. We couldn't fault anything. Ronica was the perfect host. We fell in love with her 2 dogs. (Very friendly and very soft dogs, who both love a stroke and a fuss) If we were to go to Cromer again, we'd definitely book to stay again. Ronica told us about local buses to save driving to Norwich and other nearby places of interest.

Everything was perfect.

Very clean, ideally situated for our needs. We had booked the family room which was very spacious, and serviced even though we weren’t expecting it to be. Our host was very welcoming, we appreciated the homely feel by being able to come and go as we pleased. The breakfast selection was vast, although we didn’t eat the cereal, there was so much choice, catering for every taste. Fresh fruit salad and cooked breakfasts were also available and delicious.

Nothing

A beautiful home from home. Ronica our host opens up her lovely home to visitors and gosh does she spoil you at breakfast. Fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, too many cereals to list and a freshly cooked option of whatever you would like. Excellent quality produce. The scrambled eggs are to die for. We had the balcony room which was huge and overlooking the garden/woods with the plentiful wildlife. Great bathroom with shower and jacuzzi bath. The cuddliest Rottweiler dogs, cats, chickens, Guinea pigs also live there. Located on a country lane only 2 minutes drive into Cromer, perfect for the areas we intended to visit. Absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return if visiting the area again.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike if you love animals and a very chatty friendly host.
