In pretty Langham village, a short drive from Blakeney, this new
kid on Norfolk’s boutique hotel scene is a self-proclaimed “breath
of fresh air”. Barns that once housed a successful glass-blowing
business have been transformed into 32 mod-rustic rooms with
exposed brick and knotted oak beams nodding to its industrial past.
Elsewhere, restaurant menus are thoroughly East Anglian, while the
spa dishes out wellness practices inspired by the elements of North
Norfolk.

Cradled within a magnificent 1,000-acre deer park, this pub with
rooms isn’t far inland from the sweeping beaches of the North
Norfolk coast. Owned by art dealer Ivor Braka, the historic country
house hotel is dripping with head-turning works of art by the likes
of Emin, Hurst and Freud, while the surrounding park packs an
equally impressive punch with sculpture by Ernesto Neto, Mona
Hatoum and Phillip King. Heading up the kitchen is Mark Hix-alumni
chef Stuart Tattersall, who carries forward the ethos of local,
seasonal and ingredient-led cooking on the pub’s impressive
menu.

Set beside a peaceful lake and surrounded by more than 750 acres of wild farmland, this cosy shepherd’s hut is one of a handful of glamping spots at Manor Farm, a back-to-nature retreat in a former working farm. Sleeping four with a double bed and bunk, the Barn Owl (lovingly known as “Bunky”) has a wood burner for staying toasty warm, an outdoor picnic table and firepit for lazy-afternoon board games and even a roving hot tub that’s delivered to the door on a tractor. Order a “glamper hamper” for meals around the campfire, or rustle up your own food at The Nest – the farm’s communal safari tent decked out with marshmallow-y leather sofas, a covered porch and an outdoor cooking shelter with its own pizza oven.
