Best hotels in Norfolk for 2022


With miles of unspoilt countryside, big skies, and broad, empty beaches, Norfolk has all the ingredients for a relaxing rural escape. Talking of ingredients, you’ll find a fabulous food scene here, too, with pubs and restaurants making the most of the county’s bounty of locally grown, reared, and plucked-straight-from-the-sea produce. Graze your way between historic market towns and nostalgia-steeped seaside resorts, or head into Norwich for a shot of creative energy and culture.

(The Assembly House )

Location: Norwich

This 15-room Georgian boutique is practically next door to Norwich’s principal play house, Theatre Royal – and it’s not lacking stage presence of its own.

Its 16 rooms and accommodations are split across the main Georgian building, and standalone brick cottages and timber summer houses, which are ideal if there’s a boat-load of you travelling together. Across the board, the decor is calm and comforting, with muted colours, velvet bedspreads and homemade brownies on arrival.

The Lifeboat Inn serves up some fantastic food

(The Lifeboat Inn)

Location: Thornham

North Norfolk’s coast is a dreamy sweep of wide-open sands, shimmering dunes and salt marshes teeming with birdlife – and the Lifeboat Inn is just the kind of beachside bolthole that you’ll be aching for after a day of sea air.
