Good Hotel Guide Review
Studied eccentricity abounds at this Georgian house on the market square with most rooms styled on a geographic theme – and a hairdresser and boutique on site. ‘Unashamedly quirky, but very comfortably and engagingly so,’ write readers this year. ‘The bedrooms are elegant’, each with a record player and shared library of vinyl discs, handmade biscuits, a marble bathroom, roll-top bath and drench shower. Natural History opens on to a decked terrace. Parisian Garret has French antiques and – ooh, la-la! – a slipper bath at the foot of the bed. China, a celebration of Willow Pattern, proved ‘a real treat’. Since Hannah Springham and Andrew Jones arrived in 2018 they have introduced a new cocktail bar. Andrew cooks local produce over sustainably sourced charcoal. ‘The restaurant is set in a number of rooms, one hidden behind a revolving bookcase. Food was consistently good. We particularly enjoyed their Norfolk asparagus “dib dabs”, mussels, and grilled fillet of cod in a delicious buttermilk and dill sauce.’ The staff are ‘unfailingly cheerful’. An eco picnic basket can be filled on request. (Simon and Mithra Tonking)
