More best hotels for walking in Norfolk

No. 33, Hunstanton

In the only west-facing resort on England’s east coast, Jeanne Whittome's B&B appeals to those seeking space and freedom, without cosseting, live-in hosts.

Anna’s House, Thornham

On the north Norfolk coast, Thornham’s saltmarshes and unspoiled beaches are a paradise for birdwatchers and walkers. Every bit as blissful, is this chic bolthole with a garden hot tub near the town’s artisan shops, restaurants and pubs.

No Twenty9, King's Lynn

One of ‘a new breed of restaurants-with-rooms, offering a buzzy, stylish stay’, this quirky venture ‘has plenty of attitude within its Georgian exterior’, writes a Guide insider.

The Dabbling Duck, GREAT MASSINGHAM

They have all their ducks in a row at this wisteria-decked gastropub-with-rooms overlooking the green in a village where mallards glide on old abbey fishponds.

The Crown, Wells-next-the-Sea

On a Georgian square overlooking a green, this former coaching inn and popular local drop-in offers an interesting choice of bedrooms, dog-friendly dining, an enthusiastic host, and a short menu of appetising modern dishes.

The Harper, Holt

You don’t have to blow a fortune to stay at this ‘relaxed yet refined’ hotel in some converted barns, the former home of Langham Glass, and featuring many charming nods to its heritage.

The Pheasant, Kelling

Amid a sprawling estate of woods and parkland, this country house hotel is a relaxed, unstuffy retreat with classically styled bedrooms and a restaurant serving estate-grown produce on a daily changing menu.

The Victoria Inn, HOLKHAM

On the Holkham Estate, closed to unspoilt beaches, this Victorian inn is now a hotel and restaurant with individually styled bedrooms, cosy spaces to relax in, and a menu of seasonal, local and estate produce, served in the Orangery.

The Lifeboat Inn, Thornham

A white-painted 16th-century beer house with views over salt marshes, this family and dog-friendly inn has an oak-beamed bar, rustic-chic bedrooms and relaxed restaurant serving seasonal dishes and daily specials.

Beechwood Hotel, North Walsham

Agatha Christie memorabilia, murder-mystery weekends and Art Deco touches set the tone at this creeper-clad hotel, former home of doctor friends of Christie, in a bustling market town.

The Dial House, Norwich

Highly idiosyncratic and seriously fun, this hotel features bedrooms themed on the Georgian Grand Tour and Victorian global gallivanting.

Bank House, King's Lynn

Occupying a splendid Georgian merchant’s house and one-time bank on a square by the Great Ouse, this hotel deserves to be restored to main entry status, by all accounts.

Magazine Wood, Hunstanton

In a swath of green countryside, Pip and Jonathan Barber’s chic B&B looks over the village towards the Norfolk coast.

The Gunton Arms, Thorpe Market

‘A fun take on a gallery crossed with an old boozer, and a good-value one at that’, this former steward’s house in a 1,000-acre deer park is an ‘anything-but-traditional’ pub-with-rooms, say inspectors.

Cley Windmill, Cley-next-the-Sea

'One of the quirkiest, most characterful B&Bs', this five-storey, 19th-century tower mill is set ‘in an idyllic spot’, amid reed beds on the former quayside of the River Glaven.

The Saracen’s Head, Erpingham

Tucked away down a country lane, Tim and Janie Elwes’s inn is in ‘a beautifully rural setting’ yet close to the North Norfolk coast.

The Neptune, Old Hunstanton

The well-equipped bedrooms are no afterthought at Jacki and Kevin Mangeolles' restaurant-with-rooms in a former coaching inn, but the big draw here is Kevin’s Michelin-starred cooking.

Norfolk Mead, Norwich

A superb base for exploring the surrounding Norfolk Broads, this country-house hotel in a ‘beautiful Georgian building’ has a private lake and gardens on the River Bure.

Strattons, Swaffham

There is ‘an air of a chic curiosity shop’ about this singular hotel with café/deli, centred on a Palladian-style villa, up a narrow lane, where resident cats sun themselves on the front lawn. As the Guide went to press, Stratton’s announced it was being sold.

The Rose & Crown, Snettisham

Roses festoon this family and dog-friendly 17th-century pub-with-rooms, in a thriving village close to the RSPB’s Snettisham Nature Reserve.

Morston Hall, Holt

Birdwatchers and bon vivants beat a path to Tracy and Galton Blackiston’s Michelin-starred restaurant-with-rooms in a flint farmhouse with Blakeney nature reserve on the doorstep.

The Blakeney Hotel, Holt

Readers again lavish praise on this quayside hotel – ‘one of the best run and best maintained in Britain' – in a ‘stunning setting looking over salt marsh’.

Heacham House

Heacham

Overlooking the village duck pond, this B&B in a red brick Victorian house is a 15-minute stroll from the wide sands and salt marshes of north Norfolk’s ‘sunset coast&rsquo. Pretty bedrooms are supplied with bathrobes and facecloths, fresh milk and home-baked biscuits; a posy of garden blooms makes a cheery welcome. There’s home-baked bread, home-made granola, local honey and freshly ground coffee at breakfast. The enthusiastic hosts can offer advice from stately homes to seal safaris.
