- Revcole7 (10/5): Wonderful B&B, a special place with an excellent breakfast! - We enjoyed a delightful stay at Ogilvy House. Great central location with a wonderful room. Everything spoke quality and the breakfast must rate as one of the finest in Norfolk. The host was a true gentleman and we were made to feel very welcome.

- Peter (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was unbelievably good. Not used to making so many great decisions as to preferences so early in the morning. Host extremely pleasant and informative. All 4 of us were in our 70s so the third floor was a bit of a struggle. Something I had not looked into when I booked - my mistake!
- P (10/5): Very nice stay - My stay was comfortable, but due to regulations, the windows could only open 6 inches. I came on the hottest weekend of the year and the room was 25 degrees at night without a breeze.
I have suggested a fan for such nights in the future.
This was a lovely stay and Richard is very helpful. I can recomment this B&B to anyone who is looking for a close to the centre/beach holiday in Cromer. I would hope to return again. Thank you Richard.
- Jean (10/5): Excellent short break. - Richard was very helpful and hospitable. The breakfast was excellent as was our room. The property is in a good position, very quiet yet only a short walk to the centre of Cromer.
- Peter (10/5): Very good and welcoming good breakfast - The room was very clean and Tidy It was all good
- Ron (8/5): Comfortable and friendly boutique b&b - The breakfast was excellent and tailored to our requests.
Richard was a great host, very friendly and welcoming. We were disappointed to see that the U-bend of the WC was quite stained and limescale evident around rim indicating lack of adequate cleaning. This marred an otherwise excellent room and ensuite.
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional - The host Richard was fantastic. Easy check in . Plenty of parking nearby . Breakfast was superb.
- Andrew (10/5): Truly outstanding - Very close to town Nothing
- Maggie (10/5): Good location / great room / good breakfast / good host / - The pre ordered breakfasts were very well presented with top quality ingredients. Richard, our host was very welcoming. The building is beautifully furnished & well maintained. The room was cosy with a king size bed and scrumptious bedding. Towels were clean and fluffy. Blinds & curtains. Heated towel rail. The frontage, hall, stairs, landings & rooms all decorated with elegance, style & superbly finished. Immaculately clean. Well situated with only a few minute walk into town and prom. Enjoyed our 2-night stay. That is a tuff question. The stay was very good and enjoyable. Maybe a hook on the inside of bathroom door. Maybe a choice of fruit at breakfast time.
Was a little upset to be told the window cleaner would be in our room when we were out for the day. As a guest I would normally hope the room for guests stay just for guests for the duration of their stay.
