Always warm and welcoming, the hotel now has 27 bedrooms, 13 of which are built around a central courtyard herb garden, where the wonderful aromas Inspire the names of the rooms themselves. Other rooms in the main hotel have seaviews or are large rooms ideal for families. The kitchen uses the finest local seafood and shellfish as well as carefully Reared Norfolk Beef, Pork and Lamb from Houghton Hall Estate nearby.
