The Blakeney Hotel, Holt

On the quayside overlooking the estuary and salt marshes, in the luminous landscape of north Norfolk, Emma Stannard’s ‘lovely, comfortable', child-friendly hotel gets another thumbs-up from a trusted reader.

Dedham Hall, Colchester

There is ‘nothing chichi’ about Wendy and Jim Sarton’s 15th-century manor house, which stands in ‘pleasantly rural, overgrown tranquillity’ in gardens where rabbits skitter.

Maison Talbooth, Dedham

In 1952, Gerald Milsom stopped at some Tudor tea rooms beside the River Stour and liked them so much he bought them.

The Great House, Lavenham

In one of England’s most perfect medieval villages, this timber-framed house may show the world a handsome Georgian face but within, it is all beams and slanted ceilings.

Morston Hall, Holt

‘Amazingly gorgeous.

Strattons, Swaffham

Walk up a narrow lane between a kebab shop and a barber’s in this market town, on a sunny afternoon, and you may be surprised to find people enjoying tea on the lawn in front of a Palladian villa.

The Wentworth, Aldeburgh

Nothing much alters from year to year at Michael Pritt’s Victorian hotel, just across from a shingle beach washed by the North Sea.

Beechwood Hotel, North Walsham

‘A bright spot’ in a north Norfolk market town, Emma and Hugh Asher’s hotel is also something of a night spot, with a rolling programme of events: taster nights, comedy nights, murder mystery nights (a nod to Agatha Christie, who stayed often when this was a private house), and South African Nights (to celebrate Hugh’s native land).

The Bildeston Crown, Bildeston

In a thriving village of gaily painted and ancient black-and-white houses, this hotel is set in a 15th-century merchant’s house-turned-coaching inn.

The Rose & Crown, Snettisham

Jeannette and Anthony Goodrich’s 14th-century pub-with-rooms, with ‘friendly staff’ and ‘fantastic food’, continues to earn high praise from readers.

The Sun Inn, Colchester

In the heart of Constable country, Piers Baker’s 14th-century inn is ‘what pubs were meant to look like’, from the eye-catching sign outside to the beamed ceilings and wooden floors within.

University Arms, Cambridge

You can’t miss the nods to the university at this ‘fantastic city hotel with stylish decor and superb food’ on Parker’s Piece green: Cambridge blue walls; corridor carpets striped like the student tie; and suites named after famous graduates, from Virginia Woolf to Stephen Hawking.

The Crown, Stoke by Nayland

With white-painted walls and a peg-tiled roof, this ‘smartly renovated’ inn, one of Suffolk’s oldest pubs, stands in landscaped gardens that melt into Constable country.

The Gunton Arms, Thorpe Market

No. 33, Hunstanton

A stroll from the seafront, a bay-fronted house has been transformed into a B&B by Jeanne Whittome, with a strong emphasis on customer care.

A hip, jazzy refurbishment has brought stripped wooden floorboards, green velvet sofas and ‘small but effective pink touches’ to this Southwold stalwart, which has stood on the market square, minutes from the seafront, for centuries.

In extensive grounds, the former home of Lord Louis Mountbatten is today a ‘well-run’ hotel with contemporary bedrooms, cosseting suites, a choice of eating and drinking spaces, and a sleek spa.

The north Norfolk countryside stretches away in all directions from Tim and Janie Elwes’s ‘enjoyable’ Georgian inn, which stands in ‘a beautifully rural setting’ not far from the coast.

Close to ‘one of the most beautiful, isolated beaches’, this genteelly refurbished pub on the Earl of Leicester’s Holkham estate is ‘perfect for exploring the North Norfolk coast’.

Formed from a trio of timber-framed 15th-century buildings, this swish hotel and spa in the heart of the medieval village is ‘so cosy and welcoming’.

On a 2,000-acre estate of woods and parkland, this traditional hotel is a tranquil country retreat.

Where to stay in East Anglia

East Anglia encompasses all the hospitality of hoteliers from Norfolk to Cambridge, including pubs with rooms and beautiful spots to go fishing, spectacular locations for walks and places to visit with families or on a romantic holiday.

Whether it’s traversing the unique countryside in the form of the Norfolk Broads, the Brecks and Thetford Forest, or discovering the sandy beaches in Essex and Suffolk, creeks and salt marshes, East Anglia has it all.

East Anglia’s cities offer much to enjoy as well. Cambridge in particular has a reputation that precedes it. The historic city of education has bustling markets and boutiques as well as impressive architecture, museums and dramatic skylines to explore - all the better from its plentiful riverside locations which make idyllic spots from which to watch the world go by.

The area’s hotels are as diverse as its opportunities, with the likes of Congham Hall in Kings Lynn and its spectacular herb garden placing it chief amongst the country’s hotels for gastronomic delights, while The Old Bridge in Huntingdon is an ivy-smothered Georgian town house that oozes charm. The Rose & Crown in Snettisham is a delightful 14th century inn which always has a host of special offers to take advantage of, and the likes of The Old Rectory are elegant examples of hotels with spectacular history and design.
