The Best Hotels Near The Maltings, by the Record

-
A Victorian farmhouse on the Norfolk coast, renovated into a country hotel that describes itself as a retreat rather than a country house, a distinction it earns by swapping ancestral portraits and stuffed pheasants for an eclectic mix of period detail, vintage finds, and modern furniture. The kitchen swings from composed tasting-menu territory to a proper Sunday roast, and the same team runs nearby fish-and-chips and wood-fired pizza spots. Titchwell Marsh nature reserve is just down the road.

A Palladian-Victorian hybrid that couldn't quite commit to one century, Strattons is a luxury boutique hotel tucked into a Norfolk market town that most people drive straight through. Fourteen rooms and suites, each one decorated differently enough that choosing matters, with the old house leaning atmospheric and the outbuildings leaning contemporary. Neither is the obvious pick, which is honestly half the charm of staying here.
