Map unavailable

The New Year is a great time for a hotel break, whether you want a quiet celebration, and perhaps a walk in the countryside, or a gala dinner with champagne. Here you’ll find our tips for the best New Year’s Eve hotels in East Anglia

The Blakeney Hotel

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

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

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

The Great House, LAVENHAM

The Great House has closed until further notice.

Cley Windmill

Cley Windmill, Cley-next-the-Sea

‘In an idyllic spot’, amid 'reed beds on the former quayside on the River Glaven’, this five-storey, 19th-century tower mill is home to an unusual B&B.

The Wentworth

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

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

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

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

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 Brisley Bell

The Brisley Bell, Dereham

Just the place for watching a Friday-evening cricket match, this 17th-century inn faces the village green.

The Old Hall

The Old Hall, Ely

Entering the long drive up to the Old Hall, it’s hard to know where to look first; either to the striking tall-chimneyed manor house or the romantic views of Ely Cathedral over the Morbey family’s farm and woodland estate.

Strattons

Strattons, Swaffham

There is ‘an air of a chic curiosity shop’ about this singular hotel with café/deli, centred on a Palladian-style villa, up a narrow lane, where resident cats sun themselves on the front lawn. As the Guide went to press, Stratton’s announced it was being sold.

The Bildeston Crown

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Northgate, Bury St Edmunds

A red-brick Victorian townhouse with spacious, soft-hued bedrooms decorated with French-inspired furniture and statement headboards; garden-facing rooms are quietest. A two-bedroom suite would suit a family.
