More best Christmas hotels in East Anglia

The Blakeney Hotel, Holt

‘A wonderful reminder of the delight a well-run, imaginative hotel can offer,’ reads one of many good reports of this family-friendly hotel with shimmering vistas over estuary and salt marsh.

Talbooth House & Spa, DEDHAM

The Milsom family’s Victorian country house hotel in Dedham Vale, in the heart of Constable country, has been subtly rebranded with the addition of a spa by the pool house.

The Pier at Harwich, Harwich

Cranes, container ships, Holland-bound ferries . . . The views from this quayside Victorian hotel with its striking iron-lace balcony overlooking the Stour and Orwell estuaries, are ocean-going, stirring, never dull.

The Great House, LAVENHAM

The Great House has closed until further notice.

The Wentworth, Aldeburgh

The first hotel to feature in this Guide is also one of the most loved among long-standing readers, as dependable as the tides that wash over the sand and shingle beach opposite.

Beechwood Hotel, North Walsham

Agatha Christie memorabilia, murder mystery weekends and Art Deco touches set the tone at this creeper-clad hotel, former home of doctor friends of Christie, in a bustling market town.

The Dabbling Duck, GREAT MASSINGHAM

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.

The Three Hills, Cambridge

The Hills were alive with the sound of 'obvious customer contentment' when our inspector called at Chris and Sarah Field's pub in a village known for its Roman burial tumuli (the eponymous ‘hills’).

The Harper, Holt

You don’t have to blow a fortune to stay at this ‘relaxed yet refined’ hotel in converted barns, former home of Langham Glass, with many fun nods to its heritage.

The Three Blackbirds, Newmarket

‘If you’re after a weekend in the countryside, in a good-value, charismatic pub with excellent food, you can’t go wrong here,’ a Guide insider advises.

Sopwell House Hotel, St Albans

A favourite hangout of the England football team, the former home of Lord Louis Mountbatten is ‘well-run’, with contemporary bedrooms, cosseting suites, a good choice of eating and drinking spaces, and a magnificent spa.

The Packhorse Inn, Newmarket

Gee’d up with a sophisticated steer, this inn in a former Victorian pub sits in a rural village near Newmarket, by a medieval packhorse bridge.

The Bildeston Crown, Bildeston

With its slightly wonky windows, half-timbering and sunny yellow paintwork, this 15th-century coaching inn, in the heart of a lovely Suffolk village, has a cheerful appeal that continues inside.

Tuddenham Mill, Newmarket

The setting is pure Nellie Dean, with an old watermill by a stream in 12 acres of meadow. Run by chef/patron Lee Bye, it offers 'top-notch cooking' in a 'beautiful hotel'.

The Assembly House, Norwich

A Grade I Georgian House of Assemblies, where Fanny Kemble played Shakespeare, Liszt played piano, and people danced for joy in the ballroom at the end of the Crimean War, is still the place to have a ball.

The Swan, Southwold

Bright and jazzy, this Southwold stalwart which has stood on the market square for centuries, has a hip, modern feel with a colourful sofa or two on stripped oak floorboards.

The Ship at Dunwich, Dunwich

Once a smugglers’ haunt, this creeper-covered inn is close to the unspoiled salt marshes of Dunwich Heath and the RSPB reserves at Dingle Marshes and Minsmere.

The Lifeboat Inn, Thornham

Gaze out to the sea and over the salt marshes from this 16th-century beer house, which takes in the changing landscape from its ‘spectacular’ location facing the north Norfolk coast.

The Westleton Crown, Southwold

Ramblers, twitchers and wildlife enthusiasts seek out this refreshed 12th Century coaching inn, on the edge of a common in a quiet Suffolk village.

The Northgate, Bury St Edmunds

A red-brick Victorian townhouse from the outside, glamorous cocktail-bar-and-restaurant-with-rooms from the inside, The Northgate has a relaxed, fun vibe.
