With an AA 4-star rating, The White Horse offers a unique opportunity to combine the escapism of a traditional seaside holiday with the quality and comfort you’d expect from a luxury hotel.
Situated in Overstrand, a pretty coastal village, which was so popular with the Victorian rich that it became known as ‘Millionaires Village’, The White Horse has seven superb en-suite bedrooms. All are spacious and individually styled to a high standard, with the added benefit of that warm cosy feeling that you get from feeling at home away from home. Wake in the morning to a three course home-cooked breakfast before starting your day exploring the beauty of North Norfolk.
With the philosophy that ‘eating out should always be special’ and a growing reputation for quality cuisine, The White Horse is well equipped to provide a relaxed, enjoyable experience for diners. Take pleasure in a pre-dinner drink or unwind at the end of a day of sightseeing in the bar and lounge area, or enjoy a romantic meal for two in the stylish restaurant.
Tariffs start from £68-£85 per room per night (double room) depending on season.
Dogs welcome at no extra charge.
Family room available.
The Stiffkey Red Lion.
44 Wells Road, Stiffkey, Norfolk, NR23 1AJ.
Tel: 01328 830552.
On first impressions, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is a traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer. However, since the 1st May 2008, this popular refreshment stop for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers has seen the addition of 10 fabulous rooms, making it one of the most special places to stay near the North Norfolk Coast.
Modern, chalet-style rooms (5 on the ground floor with a small terrace and garden area outside and 5 on the first floor, each with a private balcony) offer luxurious hotel accommodation at a location that is perfect for discovering the entire North Norfolk region. Well-equipped with en-suite bathroom, high quality furnishings and details like flat-screen televisions, there are 6 King-Sized Double rooms, 3 Twin rooms and a Family Double room with sofa bed. There is WIFI Internet access in the adjacent pub (along with great food all day long and a refreshing pint or glass of something cold), but this will be accessible in the rooms shortly.
The first floor rooms have amazing views out over the Stiffkey valley and the hills beyond.
The accommodation building is eco friendly, with a sedum roof that not only ensures the rooms are warm in winter and naturally cool in summer, but also collects and recycles rainwater, using it to flush the toilets. All the rooms are ultra-insulated – there are no fewer than 14 layers of insulation between the ground floor rooms and the first floor rooms, ensuring total peace and privacy if you so desire it.
Room tariffs between £80 and £120 depending on room type, season and whether you want to include a delicious dinner. All room tariffs include a full English breakfast.
Children & babies welcome.
Dogs welcome in some rooms.
Online booking available through the Stiffkey Red Lion website.
The Old Coach House.
High Street, Thornham, Norfolk, PE36 6LT.
Tel: 01485 512229.
www.maypolehotels.com/oldcoachhouse
Despite its name, this former Coaching Inn on the North Norfolk Coast is not all it seems… Multifaceted, this particular hostelry combines a charming country pub with a rather swish Italian restaurant and comfortable country Inn accommodation.
The rooms have been simply and tastefully styled to enhance the natural charm of the building with reassuring warmth – perfect after a day of sightseeing, walking, cycling or splashing in the sea.
All rooms have double beds, some of which can be converted to offer twin accommodation, and a Family Room has a double bed with a set of bunks in an attached annex. A cot is available for very young guests.
In keeping with the welcoming allure of The Old Coach House (everyone seems welcome, and refreshingly, everyone seems accommodated), dogs are also welcome at a small supplement.
To set you up for the day ahead, choose the hearty English breakfast or select from the Breakfast Buffet.
For lunch or your evening meal, you don’t have to venture far either – The Old Coach House has two bars complete with sink-into-sofas and local ales and a bright, open restaurant offering homemade pies, pizza and pasta dishes.
Tariffs from £47-£77 per person per night, including a full English breakfast.
Dogs are welcome – £6 per stay.
Extra beds for children can be provided at a cost of £20 per night.
The Globe Inn.
The Buttlands, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR23 1EU.
Tel: 01328 710206.
Minutes from Wells beach and overlooking the village green, The Globe Inn is the perfect base for exploring Wells itself and the surrounding region of North Norfolk.
Renovated in award-winning style by the Holkham estate in the summer of 2005, The Globe retains all the warmth of a traditional British pub, whilst radiating an unpretentious, easy kind of class at the same time.
The Inn has 7 light and airy en-suite rooms, including 5 doubles and two twin rooms. The Holkham Room is particularly large and overlooks the Georgian square. Children’s beds are available.
All rooms are simple and modern in their styling, with oak flooring, tea & coffee making facilities, digital TVs and telephones. You’ll also find access to a phone socket for computers. In the interest of aiding a good nights sleep, they are all well sound proofed.
Room rates include a hearty full English breakfast, eggs benedict, or Cley smoked haddock with a poached egg. The Globe is also perfect for lunch, dinner or a refreshing pint or glass of wine throughout the day.
Check in is any time after 2pm on the day of arrival. Check out time on the day of departure is 11am or before. Children are not charged for breakfast. A children’s menu is available at lunch and dinner.

The Stiffkey Red Lion.
44 Wells Road, Stiffkey, Norfolk, NR23 1AJ.
Tel: 01328 830552.
A traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is an uncomplicated retreat for those wishing to unwind in a relaxing atmosphere with no whistles and bells.
Centrally located on the A149 coast road, Stiffkey is easily reached from all the towns, villages and attractions that make this region special, from the chic rural hotspots of Holt and Burnham Market to the more classic seaside resorts of Sheringham, Cromer and Wells. There is a popular campsite just a stroll away and the Pub is close enough to the sea for those sitting outside to be refreshed by the sea breeze on warmer days.
In wonderful contrast, eating at The Stiffkey Red Lion is a less traditional affair. While the decor may be reassuringly simple, as you’d expect from a bona fide country alehouse, the cuisine is fresh, modern and mouth-watering. The main menu features classic dishes that take advantage of the wealth of local produce, changing regularly depending on seasonal availability. A specials board changes daily, offering a selection of more cosmopolitan dishes. There are also dishes for children and several vegetarian options.
You can choose to eat in any of the three rooms in the pub or in the conservatory or dining room. There is outside seating too if you’d prefer to dine al fresco.
Ideally situated on the North Norfolk coast (and reachable on foot from several nearby locations, including Wells-next-the-Sea), The Red Lion is the ideal stop-off for walkers, cyclists or birdwatchers. It is great for a hearty lunch, a refreshing pint of Nelson’s Revenge or an evening meal to finish off a hard day of sightseeing.
The Hunny Bell.
The Green, Hunworth, Melton Constable,
Norfolk, NR24 2AA.
Tel: 01263 712300.
The Hunny Bell is part of the highly acclaimed family of pubs and restaurants known collectively as the ‘Animal Inns’, which count among their number two Michelin Bib Gourmand eateries in Norwich.
As with all the Animal Inns establishments, The Hunny Bell has its own unique character that has been enhanced in style and quality by its new owners. A traditional country local in the pretty Norfolk village of Hunworth, and formerly known as The Bluebell Inn, The Hunny Bell keeps true to its rural position, offering real ales (including local brews by Woodfordes among others) from a gleaming wooden bar that compliments the solid wooden fittings and furnishings throughout. The interior has been given a sympathetic twist with new upholstery and contemporary detailing to create an air of comfortable-chic.
The menu at The Hunny Bell, devised by head Chef Martin Recchi, centres on traditional dishes, made simply from local ingredients but made very, very well. Including time-honoured favourites such as Cod and Chips and Steak and Kidney Pie, the food is already considered by many to be the best served in the locale.
Under its new ownership, The Hunny Bell is still very much a country village pub at heart with a welcoming feel and uncomplicated food and drink at reasonable prices. A country village pub yes… but like a distillation of all the wonderful features of such a pub, one that would be top of its class on all fronts.

Ship Lane, Thornham, Norfolk,
PE36 6LT.
Tel: 01485 512236.
www.maypolehotels.com/lifeboatinn
The 16th Century Lifeboat Inn at Thornham is a real North-Norfolk treasure in its stunning coastal location (even the car park has a breathtaking view out onto Holme Dunes).
In addition to the cosy oil-lantern lit bar and general ambience, that remains faithful to traditional inn-keeping values, The Lifeboat is a great place to eat all year round – particularly throughout the winter months when it really is an inviting and snug bolthole.
For summer dining, there is a lovely walled patio garden, and bright conservatory, the roof of which is covered by an ancient vine that apparently thrives on Abbot Ale. For evenings and special occasions, try the more formal dining room with its welcoming traditional décor and daily-changing one rosette standard menu (3 courses for £28.50). Year-round, the reasonably priced bar menu features local delights and daily specials and is very popular in the evenings. Children’s meals are available and there are options for vegetarians.
If you’ve tried the Lifeboat and want to experience something a little different, why not try its sister Inn – The Old Coach House, which is just down the road in Thornham. Serving pizza and Pasta in rustic, informal surroundings, it is perfect for everything from a romantic meal for two to a night out with the whole family.
