The Brisley Bell Shortlist*
Brisley, Norfolk
Good Hotel Guide Review
A buzzy local landmark, this 17th-century inn facing the village common is just the place for lively quiz nights and Friday-evening cricket matches; for more peaceful diversion, there’s also afternoon tea and board games by the original inglenook fireplaces. It is owned and run by Norfolk-bred Amelia Nicholson and Marcus Seaman, who restored the old pub and extended it to include stylish modern bedrooms in converted barns, set in a spread of lawns and landscaped gardens. Served across dining areas inside and out, well-regarded pub lunches and dinners feature English favourites tweaked with French techniques. Nature trails, country estates and the north Norfolk heritage coastline are within easy reach.
