Save to favouritesPrintMailThe Gunton ArmsThe Gunton Arms is a cross between a well-heeled private house and a supremely comfortable pub. The world-renowned art dealer Ivor Braka and his artist wife Sarah Graham used to call it their local, until they decided to make the arrangement a bit cosier, and bought it. After a lengthy and impressive renovation, it reopened in November 2011. The pub remains popular with locals, the restaurant is outstanding, and the 8 [r:UK124:bedrooms] are comfortable and characterful; best of all, the whole show is run with a very generous spirit. Over your inspirational supper, cooked expertly by Stuart Tattersall, former head chef at Mark Hix's London restaurants, there’s so much to talk about that your conversation will never run dry: from the Damien Hirsts and Gilbert & George canvases lining the walls, to the ancient elk above the fire. Come here for everything you didn’t expect from Norfolk - a dash of high society, controversial art themed around sex and death, and foodie heaven - which perfectly complements the ravishing scenery, historic park and quiet beaches nearby. Don’t tell everyone, but this part of the UK is fast becoming our secret hotspot.
