Roman Camp Inn

Roman Camp Inn

Overview

Set on the edge of Aylmerton village and just a five-minute drive inland from Cromer and the north Norfolk coast, the Roman Camp Inn provides a cheerful and practical base for exploring this tranquil corner of East Anglia. A family-run inn with an inviting pub-restaurant and a neat cluster of guest rooms, the Roman Camp Inn is especially well suited for casual weekend breaks, walkers setting out for the expanses of the Norfolk Coast Path, or anyone craving relaxed hospitality without pomp. Its position off the A148 makes it a convenient jumping-off point for visiting Sheringham, Holt, and the surrounding countryside.

Eat

Dining at the Roman Camp Inn is a convivial affair, with emphasis on locally sourced, seasonal produce from Norfolk’s larder. The kitchen serves a robust English breakfast and, come lunch or suppertime, a menu featuring comforting British classics and hearty pub dishes—think home-made burgers, battered fish and chips, and vegetarian options, all freshly prepared. The sunny restaurant dining room and terrace host an easy-going, welcoming crowd, while the attached bar with open fireplace is a popular spot for a pint or a cup of tea after a bracing walk. Menus change to reflect what’s best from local farms and fishermen, keeping things pleasingly rooted in the area.

Sleep

Each of the Roman Camp Inn’s rooms has en-suite facilities, free Wi-Fi, a TV, and thoughtful extras such as tea and coffee trays. Upgraded rooms offer spa baths for a deeper soak after a day out, plus larger beds, smart TVs, and touches like Temple Spa toiletries. The style is informal and comfortable, with plush beds, practical furnishings, and plenty of daylight. Rooms on the ground floor are particularly accessible, and several are suitable for families and dog owners. It’s an excellent fit for those who value straightforward comfort and friendly service above formality.

Retreat

With its easy access to both coast and countryside, a stay at the Roman Camp Inn makes it simple to explore Norfolk’s attractions. Sandy Cromer beach, famous for its pier and fresh crab, is less than three miles away, while Sheringham Park’s landscaped woodlands and the Norfolk Coast Path are equally close. Walkers can trace local trails past heathland and Roman earthworks, and birders have countless saltmarshes within a 20-minute drive. After a day exploring, guests can unwind in the inn’s attractive gardens or soak up the rustic warmth of the bar. The train station at Cromer offers links to Norwich in just over 45 minutes, making the Roman Camp Inn an easy rural escape for a one- or two-night break.
