It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide.

Erpingham, Norfolk

Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Built in 1806 for Horatio Walpole in the style of a Tuscan farmhouse, in the middle of nowhere yet close to the North Norfolk coast, this ivy-covered inn has a welcoming bar, restaurant and beer garden. Its bright public spaces are home to glowing wood burners, with books and maps to browse. Simply and cheerfully decorated, bedrooms have a well-supplied drinks tray, and good Norfolk toiletries; a family room comfortably accommodates four people. Beers and gins are local; so too are fish dishes and Cromer crab on seasonal menus that might also feature roast chicken supreme or burgers. Beaches, stately homes and day boats along the River Bure are all within easy reach.
