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.
