In this west-facing Victorian resort, Jeanne Whittome's unstaffed B&B appeals to independent spirits who don't need to be cosseted, with stylish bedrooms, a lounge and DVD library, a dining room with log burner, and breakfasts from sister property Thornham Deli.

The light, bright, well-equipped bedrooms are no afterthought at Jacki and Kevin Mangeolles' former coaching inn, but it is Kevin's Michelin-starred cooking of locally landed fish and the best Norfolk produce that put this restaurant with rooms on the map.

This dog-friendly gastropub just inland from the North Norfolk coast has characterful bedrooms, a Mediterranean-inspired garden, and plenty of different gins on the menu.

In a swath of green countryside, Pip and Jonathan Barber's chic B&B looks over the village towards the Norfolk coast.

A white-painted 16th-century beer house with views over salt marshes, this family and dog-friendly inn has an oak-beamed bar, rustic-chic bedrooms and relaxed restaurant serving seasonal dishes and daily specials.

On the north Norfolk coast, Thornham's saltmarshes and unspoiled beaches are a paradise for birdwatchers and walkers. Every bit as blissful, this chic bolthole with a garden hot tub is near the town's artisan shops, restaurants and pubs.

Roses festoon this family and dog-friendly 17th-century pub with rooms, in a thriving village close to the RSPB's Snettisham Nature Reserve.

With views over meadows and marshes to the sea, this boutique hotel within a former Victorian farmhouse offers contemporary-style bedrooms in colours inspired by the landscape, some with private terrace and hot tub, and serves modern cooking in the bistro and conservatory.

There is a good vibe to this gastropub with rooms in a coastal village, serving excellent, locally sourced, Mediterranean-inspired food.
