Good Hotel Guide Review

Highly idiosyncratic and seriously fun, Hannah Springham and Andrew Jones’s hotel features bedrooms themed on the Georgian Grand Tour and Victorian global gallivanting. The interiors are ‘a joy – quirky, and constantly brought a smile to my face’. A reader sampled China room, in blue and white, with bamboo wallpaper, as well as Africa, with animal prints, tribal artefacts, and a roll-top bath at the foot of the bed. ‘Both were beautifully decorated and furnished, and very comfortable, with splendid marble bathrooms.’ In the retail wing, you can browse antiques and vintage fashions, kit yourself out in Prada or a puffball skirt before repairing to the cocktail bar for a Porn Star Martini. In the restaurant, Mr Jones’s ‘extremely good dinners’ favour top-quality produce, with ingredients sourced from local farmers, and fish from Brancaster. ‘The food was consistently good.’ Evolving menus include dishes such as cod, seaweed, saffron and mussels. ‘The staff were all young, cheerful and busy.’ Free-range eggs at breakfast are sourced from the allotment at Reepham High School.
