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

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

This dog-friendly gastropub just inland from the North Norfolk coast has characterful bedrooms, a Mediterranean-inspired garden, and plenty of different gins on the menu.

On a square beside the Great Ouse in the ancient port town, this fine Georgian Grade II* listed former merchant’s house, once home to what would become Barclays, was debanked in 1869 and is today a buzzy hotel and brasserie.

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.

In this west-facing Victorian resort, Jeanne Whittome's unstaffed B&B appeals to independent spirits who don't need to be cosseted, with stylish bedrooms, a lounge and DVD library, a dining room with log burner, and breakfasts from sister property Thornham Deli.

The light, bright, well-equipped bedrooms are no afterthought at Jacki and Kevin Mangeolles' former coaching inn, but it is Kevin's Michelin-starred cooking of locally landed fish and the best Norfolk produce that put this restaurant with rooms on the map.

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

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.
