All our places to stay in Norfolk have been personally inspected by our team, to make sure you find comfort and quality but also character. We want you never to have to stay in a bland chain hotel again, so we work only with independent, small-scale businesses providing a break from the norm.
In our collection, you’ll find self-catering cottages, hotels, B&Bs and pubs with rooms, all run by passionate people who use their creativity and local knowledge to make your stay memorable.
We’ve been seeking out special places to stay for over 30 years and we hope you’ll enjoy discovering them as much as we do.

Take a break in Norfolk to taste the bounty of the Eastern English coast, bounce from Manor house to castle to medieval town, and spend the night making maps of the milky way in un-polluted night sky.
From pretty Tudor cottages bedecked with roses to modern minimalist beach houses, we’ve picked out six very special holiday cottages in North Norfolk. We’ve also asked the cottage owners to share their favourite local walks to help you discover Norfolk’s most breath-taking stretches of coastline, prettiest fishing villages, and cosiest pubs.
Comforting retreats from the hectic whirl of modern life are a requirement rather than an indulgence. That’s why we’ve put together this selection in Norfolk for those times when you need to step away from the hustle and bustle in order to return refreshed and reinvigorated.
Come for delightful walks, boating, canoeing and cycling, or simply soak up the vast skies and glittering light when you stay in our special places in Norfolk. We’ve picked a sleekly modern converted barn and elegant ivy-clad rectory, both offering generous breakfasts, and a couple of stylish eco builds if you prefer to look after yourselves.
Some of our places to stay in Norfolk add a touch of indulgence and some extra pampering for your visit. From small spas with heated swimming pools, steam, sauna, jacuzzi and treatment rooms, to wood-fired hot tubs with views, these are places to activate your zen.
Sweeping sandy beaches, the glittering coast and a web of waterways are on the doorstep of seven of our favourite coastal places to stay in Norfolk. Norfolk Coast Path as it twists and turns for 84 miles, so there is something for everyone – including boat trips to watch the seals play at Blakeney Point.
Self-catering & holiday cottages in Norfolk
Even when you aren’t being hosted in person, it’s still lovely to stay in a place that gives you a warm welcome. We look for owners whose creativity, local knowledge and generosity of spirit make it feel like you’re walking into a home, not a soulless holiday let. In Norfolk, you’ll find everything from old stone cottages down leafy lanes to arty apartments and gorgeous barn conversions, all ready and waiting to be your new home for a few days.
Pubs with rooms in Norfolk
Staying in a pub is a wonderfully stress-free way to travel. The moment you’re checked in, you’re where you need to be for dinner, a good night’s sleep and breakfast in the morning. You can even throw your bags in your room and head straight back to the bar, to sit in a quiet corner and let any lingering travel angst fade away. In the pubs we like to work with, you’ll find local ales on tap and a menu of locally sourced food that’ll spoil you for choice and have you wandering upstairs to bed full and happy.
Hotels in Norfolk
At their finest, hotels are moments of pure indulgence, with beds more comfortable than you can ever seem to make yours at home, exquisite food at dinner and breakfast, and touches of magic in the décor that make you smile. We work only with small-scale hoteliers and although some of them do own a few places, they pour their passion and attention to detail into every one, so you’ll have far more than a good night’s sleep.
Bed & Breakfast in Norfolk
These days, it’s hard to tell where B&Bs end and boutique hotels begin. Both have an independent spirit, a warm welcome for their guests and a personal touch in their service. B&Bs tend to have fewer rooms and occasionally a more sociable feel to any mealtimes, which is what makes them brilliant places for anyone who wants to really explore the area they’re staying in. Swapping ideas and stories with the owners and other travellers over breakfast can lead you on adventures that no search engine will ever dig up for you.
