The Gunton Arms

The personal touch

Take the gravel drive off the A149 south of Thorpe Market and expect the unexpected – a chic, hunting lodge-style inn set within a stunning 1,000-acre country estate. Chelsea art dealer and Gunton Park resident, Ivor Braka, snapped up the once faded hotel at the end of the drive in 2009, renamed it the Gunton Arms and lavished money on the place, totally restoring the 18th-century building, with the help of some well-known designer friends, Robert Kime (bedrooms) and Martin Brudnizki (bar & restaurant). If you’re lucky, your arrival will coincide with deer roaming freely past the inn, a sight to behold and best enjoyed from one of the vast chunky tables on the open parkland beside the inn, or in the comfort of the bar on cooler days. Bar and dining rooms exude a baronial feel, with warm red hues, antique furnishings, blazing log fires and wooden floors, but the vibe is relaxed and informal, and there are soothing parkland views from every window. The eagle-eyed will spy the risqué Tracey Emin sketches behind the bar, and some other fine artwork dotted around the walls. The elegant Stamp Rooms and lounges offer residents a peaceful refuge away from the bustling bar.
 

Muddy paws

Dogs are always very welcome in the bar and overnight in two of the rooms (£10 per night).
 

Sticky fingers

Children can stay overnight, there’s a cot and fold-up bed available. Under 3s stay for free; older children £15 a night.
 

Alfresco

With (thankfully) no fencing around the inn, the mown area naturally blends in to the vast parkland, allowing uninterrupted views of open parkland and roaming deer. So, arrive early in summer to bag one of the vast tables (designed to share) and soak up the view over lunch or supper. With removable sides, the Garden Room, replete with stone floor, fat candles on rustic tables, and open fireplace, offers extra summer alfresco dining space. Braziers and blankets allow you to stay outside until late.

The Gunton Arms

Mastering the menu

Inspirational in the development of the kitchen has been renowned chef Mark Hix, whose simple, gutsy, ingredient-led style of cooking is engrained in head chef Stuart Tattersall’s (ex Hix Oyster & Chop House) ethos and simply described monthly menus. Stuart only uses local, seasonal ingredients, with venison from the deer park, seafood and Cromer crab caught by local fishermen, and foraged samphire from the coast, so hearty dishes and big flavours. Roasted, well aged meats, cooked by Stuart over the vast open fire in the Elk Room (not Sundays), is a highlight, notably a deliciously juicy Blythburgh pork chop, served with goose fat roast potatoes and Bramley apple sauce. Leave room for a memorable pudding, perhaps gooseberry meringue tart or a chocolate marquise with caramel oranges. The Elk Room is an impressive dining room, dominated by huge elk antlers over the equally vast open fire, and featuring a vaulted wooden roof, interesting artwork, old pew benches and scrubbed tables, and long, colorful drapes at the French doors, which lead out to the parkland garden.

On the menu

Norfolk asparagus and feta salad (£10.50)
Smoked sardines, horseradish, golden beetroot (£7.50)
Blythburgh bacon chop, cockles and sea beet (£16)
BBQ beef brisket, chips and slaw (£16)
Hake, pardon peppers and chorizo (£16)
Chicken, bacon and leek pie (£12.50)
Sharrington strawberry meringue (£7)
Blueberry & vanilla cheesecake (£7)
Sandwiches: salt beef, dill pickle, mustard (£7)

Sunday Roasts

Traditional roast rib of beef (£16) or a whole farmhouse chicken to share (£35) served with goose fat roasted potatoes and all the trimmings

Time to Eat

Breakfast: 7.30am – 9.30am (8am – 10am Saturday & Sunday)
Lunch: 12 noon – 3pm
Dinner: 6pm – 10pm (6pm – 9pm Sundays)
Bar food: 12 noon – 10pm (sandwiches served until 5pm)

Local, local, local

Venison from the Gunton Estate
Cromer Crab, seafood & mussels – caught by a local fisherman
Foraged coastal plants, including samphire
Cley Smokehouse

Behind the bar

On the bar four handpumps dispense tip-top East Anglian ales including locally brewed Woodforde’s Wherry, Adnams Southwold Bitter and Broadside, and a local guest beer, perhaps Winter’s Storm Force. Behind the bar you’ll find some boutique gins and a good range of malts, plus concise list of wines, which includes a decent house wine from a small French vineyard (£20).

Bar snacks

Potted salmon with toast (£4)
Spicy wild boar sausages, chilli jam (£4)
Pork croquettes, rhubarb relish (£4.75)
Lamb keema, naan (£6)

Walking

www.walkinginnorfolk.co.uk
www.nationaltrail.co.uk/peddars-way-and-norfolk-coast-path
The North Norfolk Coast has been described as a long way from anywhere and that is certainly the impression it gives, especially when you stroll its many miles of deserted beaches. The region offers enormous scope for all kinds of walking – long, short and medium. One of the most popular haunts of walkers is the region’s remote Holkham Beach, immortalised in the film Shakespeare in Love. It’s just the place to enjoy wild beauty and stunning wide skies. If you enjoy sampling long-distance paths, however, try the 93-mile Peddars Way and North Norfolk Coast Path. Following ancient tracks and Roman roads and consisting of two paths joined together to form one route, the Peddars Way and North Norfolk Coast Path offers a great blend of pastoral Norfolk hinterland and magnificent coastal scenery.
 

CYCLING

www.cycle-route.com
www.norfolkcyclehire.co.uk
The region’s relatively flat terrain makes this part of the country ideal for cycling. There’s a wide choice of undemanding cycle rides, but for something more ambitious, try the Bure Valley Railway, a nine-mile trail running from Aylsham to Wroxham. If you prefer, you can return to the start by train. For the really adventurous, there’s the Norfolk Coast Cycleway between King’s Lynn and Cromer.
 

EVENTS & FESTIVALS

www.visitnorthnorfolk.co.uk
www.cityofale.org.uk
Among the area’s host of entertaining events is the Norfolk and Norwich Festival in May, a flagship event for the East of England and one of the largest arts festivals in the country. The North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival at Holkham Hall in August celebrates all that is good about local produce, while the Hill House Inn at Happisburgh, between Cromer and Caister, has its own annual Solstice Beer Festival in June. Sherlock Holmes fans should note that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a short story, The Dancing Men, after visiting Hill House in 1903. Norwich City of Ale Festival, is a treat for all ale-heads - here is a distinct scent of malted barley in the air for 10 days in May across this fine city, celebrating local ales and breweries in an array of pubs and other venues.

Activities

Surfing, Cromer NR27 9HE

North Norfolk Railway, Sheringham NR26 8RA
Operating both steam and diesel trains, the North Norfolk Railway runs between Sheringham and Holt and is a great way to see the local countryside. There are catering facilities on board and numerous special events throughout the year.

Places to Visit

While you’re here, visit the museum and the delightful wildflower meadows.

Blickling Hall, Blickling NR11 6NF
Catching sight of Blickling Hall for the first time takes your breath away. The turreted Jacobean mansion stands proud in the Norfolk landscape and surrounding it is a beautiful 500-acre park. Blickling, near Aylsham, is widely believed to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn.

Felbrigg Hall, Felbrigg NR11 8PR
Fellbrigg Hall’s splendid park is one of the highlights of a visit to this popular National Trust visitor attraction a short distance from Cromer. Here, you can explore over 500 acres of woods and miles of waymarked paths where nature and wildlife are much in evidence.

Digby's, 6 Garden Street, Cromer NR27 9HN
Good old-fashioned sweets, upmarket Belgian and English chocolates and a fine selection of greeting cards and gift boxes make up the stock at Digby’s.

Pinkfoot Gallery, Cley-next-the-Sea NR25 7RB
North Norfolk’s stunning wildlife has long been immortalised by well-respected East Anglian-based artists and at this Cley next the Sea gallery you’ll find everything from abstract artworks to traditional watercolours.

Ship-To-Shore, Quayside, Wells-next-the-Sea NR23 1AR
Expect to find British nautical clothing brand Quba at Ship-to-Shore, the company’s first outlet in Norfolk. There are jackets, bags and accessories, too, all expertly crafted using traditional sail-making skills, plus marine-themed home wares ranging from deck chairs and bean bags to sofas and cushions.

Reviews

The Sunday Times, 100 Ultimate British Hotels, 201, Posh Pubs
"The rooms are bright, stylish and comfortable; and downstairs, when the fires are lit, the place glows. The woodburning range, where they cook venison sausages and steaks, is the focal point of each evening, but pretty soon the soon the sense of warmth it generates spreads through the entire building and out into the deer park beyond. By bedtime, you'll be utterly bewitched."

Inn Location - The Gunton Arms

Wiveton Hall Café and Fruit Farm, Cley-next-the-Sea NR25 7TE
Outside Wiveton to the north off the A149 coast road is this rather grand hidden Norfolk gem, full of Jacobean architecture, charming walled gardens and productive fruit farming in the grounds. PYO or buy berries and other crops in the shop. But main attraction is the farm café with beautiful views and fabulous rustic ingredient-led cooking.

The Dun Cow, Salthouse NR25 7XA
This lovely hostelry on the coast road is being revitalised with passion and interest. Don’t miss the Gray family’s beef reared outside the windows on Salthouse marshes and the famous local Morston mussels.

The Ship, Weybourne NR25 7SZ
A traditional real ale pub, local is key, including seafood landed on the beach nearby or smoked fish from Cley Smokehouse. The village sits on the North Norfolk Coast path, so The Ship makes a great relaxing stop-off.

Gangway Crab Shop, The Gangway, Cromer NR27 9ET
Marty Rowlands lands crabs and lobster daily in his own boat during the season and is one of the more-established long serving fishermen. Selling to restaurants like the Arms, they also have a seasonal shop for dressed shellfish in The Gangway (call 01263 515744 to check opening hours).

Mary Jane’s Fish Bar, Garden Street, Cromer NR27 9HN
After a bracing walk down the Pier, what’s better on the coast than proper fish’n’chips. Always freshly fried and be ready to queue, good things are worth the wait. 01263 511208.

Marsh Pig, Claxton, Norwich NR14 7HU
Loved by the Gunton Arms chefs, free range Norfolk charcuterie such as different salami, coppa shoulder, and lomo loin made with Blythburgh Free Range Pork from just over the border as well as beef braesola. Find it in local delis and farmers markets. Claxton-based Jackie Kennedy also runs courses and sells online.

Cookies Crab Shop, Salthouse NR25 7AJ
The popularity of this seafood shack is legendary (after three generations). It’s a simple place all round, quite set in their ways about how to do things but that’s how they cater for so many. Family day boats bring in flapping-fresh seafood. Get there early!

G F White Butchers, 16 Red Lion Street, Aylsham NR11 6ER
Quality, regional award-winning family butcher’s who source local quality meats and also can supply plentiful game birds when in season. Their sausage recipe has been handed down three generations.

Wroxham Barns, Tunstead Road, Hoveton NR12 8QU
An emporium of independent crafts studios, quaint shops, food producers, such as a brewer and fudge maker, alongside a charming tearoom and café-restaurant. Not forgetting a petting zoo, pitch’n’putt, amusements and fun park to keep

Richard Hughes Cookery School, The Lavender House, 39 The Street, Brundall NR13 5AA
Winner of the UK’s British Cookery School of the Year title, this is a culinary gem for all those amateur food lovers who aspire to be a chef for the day. Restaurateur Richard Hughes is a very familiar face on the Norfolk food scene.

Walpole Arms, Itteringham NR11 7AR
Recently bought by the local Harrold farming family, this iconic Norfolk country pub takes full advantage of their home-grown produce. The vine-covered terrace is just made for summer alfresco enjoyment.

Earle Arms, Heydon NR11 6AD
A traditional Norfolk freehouse-restaurant in a lovely estate village with the requisite green and church for a picturesque setting and Heydon Hall and grounds worth exploring before or after.

We reserve the right to edit any comments left by contributors to the site.


BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
