The Gunton Arms
Norfolk, England
8Telegraph expert rating
The Gunton Arms sits just inside a vast, flat park. A charming porch leads into a series of rooms (including private sitting rooms for residents) that really do feel cosy and traditional but also – and this gives the place its unique quality – stylish, creative and full of surprises. Where else would you find a Damien Hirst spot painting in the ladies’ loo or a Magritte above the residents’ lounge fireplace? Dogs are made welcome - with beds, bowls and biscuits provided - and there are plenty of good walks and dog-friendly beaches in the vicinity (although the parkland surrounding the hotel is private, so off-limits to guests).
