Great Yarmouth

"There aren't really any minus points here at all. One small one for me was my disability so the sofa area was a bit low for me but this place (and I'm always reluctant to let everyone know when I find a diamond place to stay) was otherwise perfect. Obviously big enough for a family of four as the second bedroom has bunk beds . Nice little bit of front patio and table and outside table and chairs already there for you. Used to holiday in this area as a kid and there's enough arcades with walking...

Top California Hotel Reviews

Wellington Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Well appointed apartment conveniently located near train station. Helpful staff. Only problem was with the tv which the staff fixed."

Sprowston Manor Hotel, Spa & Golf

4/10 Poor

"Firstly, I came here last year and it's was an easy 10/10, but this time was different, I brought the family as we were attending an event near by, the 3 of them have disabilities and have poor mobility, the first problem we came across was that we were put in a part of the building where we had to climb stairs to get to our room, we didn't want to argue this because we just had a long drive and just wanted to refresh for the event but struggled to climb the stairs, secondly, the rooms we were given were above where they were having an event and we could hear music till 2330 and we were not able to calm down and get to sleep till after 0000, there was also a piano near the room and sombody was playing music pretty late, we ordered a double room and it only had one chair, where the twin room we had, had 3 chairs, breakfast was fine, but I have had betting in the likes of travel lodge and holiday inn expeess, but otherwise, the staff was great, the room were cleans and the swimming pool was great"

Revado Hotel, Norwich City Centre

8/10 Good

"The motion light for getting to the ground floor rooms was slow to come on, and a couple of times I stumbled to get to the room. Maybe the addition of a 'night light' in that stretch of hallway? Thank you to the staff member who discovered the I had left my wallet behind, and held it in after. I was still jet-lagged, and very traumatized about it, missed a prepaid train journey...but everything turned out ok in the end."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in California?

The best area to stay in California is the village center of California, which is the heart of the community and offers convenient access to local amenities.

The village center is characterized by its main street, which features a collection of local shops, pubs, and eateries. You'll find the village green here, a central open space often used for local gatherings. This area is very walkable, making it easy to explore on foot.

For couples looking for a relaxed retreat, staying in the village center is ideal. The proximity to local pubs and restaurants means you can enjoy evenings out without needing to travel far. The quiet streets and the presence of the village green provide a pleasant setting for strolls.

Families will also find the village center a convenient base. The open spaces like the village green offer room for children to play, and the local shops provide easy access to necessities.

When is the best time to go to California?

The best time to go to California, England, is typically during late spring (May to early June) or early autumn (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

During late spring, you'll experience mild temperatures, blooming gardens, and longer daylight hours, making it ideal for exploring the area's natural beauty and outdoor activities. This period is particularly good for couples who enjoy scenic walks and visiting historic sites without the peak summer rush. Attractions like the California Gardens and nearby walking trails are at their most beautiful.

Early autumn offers similar advantages with comfortable temperatures and the added beauty of changing foliage. This time is also excellent for couples or solo travelers who appreciate a relaxed pace and want to enjoy local pubs and eateries without the bustling summer crowds.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in California.
