The Harper, UK Hotel

Norfolk, UK

A coastal stay for all seasons, this Norfolk bolthole has made quite the name for itself in the couple of years it’s been open. In the sleepy village of Langham, a mile inland from Blakeney, it resides in a former glass-blowing building. Unfussy interiors pay homage to its industrial past while speaking the modern vernacular of member’s-club-style comfort – see the four-posters, vintage furniture and generous bedrooms. With nook-like lounge areas, a friendly bar and fire pit- warmed courtyard, it’s easy to kick back and make yourself at home. There’s a spa and bookable indoor pool for utmost privacy too. After a bracing walk along the coastal marshes you can look forward to a tempting menu, with all the famed flavours of Norfolk well represented at the restaurant. Indeed, The Harper is part of the fabric of the area, running two nearby pubs – The Blue Bell and The Morston Anchor (known for its fish and chips) – that make a fine support act. Doubles from £260 including breakfast. 01328 805000 , theharper.co.uk
