Take a well-deserved break away from the norm with this luxury overnight stay for two. Choose from a number of beautiful country house locations offering wonderful views and sumptuous surroundings nestled in the British countryside.
Enjoy exquisite furnishings, roaring log fires, splendid gardens, and a comfortable atmosphere at these magnificently restored houses. Although dinner is not included, our locations pride themselves on their delicious food, good wines and personal service.
Afternoon tea has been a British institution since Anna Maria Russell, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, asked her footman to bring her a pot of tea and light refreshment one afternoon in 1840. The ritual caught on and afternoon tea became the corner stone of high society dining. These days taking tea as a light afternoon meal has become much more accessible, but has not lost a crumb of its charm.
This idyllic retreat makes a perfect gift for someone special. Whether they prefer traditional or contemporary settings, this break provides for both.
This break is a one night stay for two people and includes breakfast and a Traditional Afternoon Tea. Restrictions may apply to certain properties, on specific days of the week and months of the year. Please note you will receive a cream tea at The Speech House Hotel instead of afternoon tea.
This break is available Monday to Sunday, subject to availability, throughout the year.
This is a one night stay for two people including breakfast and an afternoon tea.
This break is for two people to enjoy.
The minimum age is 18 years old.

What did you get up to?
The Links Hotel is set in a stunning area, a stone’s throw from Cromer and the beautiful beach. Upon arrival, the staff were very accommodating in getting me settled into my room, which was spacious and spotless. The reception staff told me about the local area as I was due to head out, pointing out other areas of interest and what time to come down for breakfast the following morning.
Down the road is the beach, which is accessible via a small path which can be walked or driven down. The beach itself is incredibly clean and accommodates for both sand and stone beach lovers, although further down towards Cromer it does feature more stones. Within the vicinity of the Hotel, there are some fantastic places to enjoy an evening meal and drink. The Village Inn pub features a good array of beers, ales, house wines and a selection of food to go with it.
The Links Hotel was a fantastic setting for an afternoon tea, which hosted a wide variety of cakes, finger sandwiches and lovely warm scones. The food was all fresh and tasted amazing, a definite go-to for all afternoon tea lovers. The pot of tea was wonderful and hot, the milk perfect and cold and my friend had a peppermint tea, which was delightful. Make sure you leave plenty of room as it was very filling.
The room we stayed in was wonderful and very spacious, meaning me and my friend had plenty of room to ditch our stuff as we headed out for the evening. It was one of the most comfy beds to sleep on, but the breakfast was well worth getting out of bed for.
If you are in the mood for some sports and exercise, the golf course behind the hotel is sure to get the circulation going for a small charge, and the tennis court is well maintained to ensure that there is something for everyone. The indoor pool was at a lovely temperature to enjoy a paddle, plus there is a gym free of charge which hosts some great equipment to help burn off the hot breakfast.
What did you enjoy the most?
I loved how close this was to the beach! We spent the whole day there.
Take enough clothes to use all the facilities such as pool, gym and golf course.

I was extremely disappointed that an expensive deal worth £169 was terrible! Got a cream tea as opposed to an afternoon tea, was originally asked to pay a surcharge as a Saturday night, was put in a budget room, was required to pay extra if was to use spa facilities. Was overall very misleading and disappointing!

Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear of your disappointment. I can see that the location does advertise as only being able to provide a Cream Tea, and this would have been confirmed by our customer service advisers when you rang to book, so I do apologise if this information was not clear. Having spoken to my customer service manager I can see that you have been given an Afternoon Tea voucher as compensation for this experience, so I do hope you enjoy your next experience with us. Thank you again for your time.

I was given the voucher as a present and very much looked forward to using it for a “ladies who take tea” country hotel getaway. The hotel was nice but clearly had no idea what afternoon tea was. 80’s pop music and bland doorstop sandwiches? Plus when we asked to take our scones to our hotel room to finish later we were given just that - the accompaniments (jam, clotted cream, plates, knives) were all removed and the dry scones put in a plastic takeaway container. Overall, very odd. Good voucher which I would recommend, just not sure about the selection of venues. Hopefully, I just chose poorly.

Very friendly hotel owners, reception staff were excellent. Hotel is quite secluded and a little dated but very clean and had lots of character. The cream tea was huge!
