The Victoria Inn

Almost mythically flat and endless, Norfolk is a watery county, with its beautiful inland broads, salt marshes, rolling dunes and smooth beaches. This is a relaxing place to travel around dotted with ancient chutes, castles and charming seaside towns. It’s this peacefulness which makes it such a wonderful destination to discover the old way, via the highways and byways, staying in the best pubs with rooms in Norfolk along the way. Norfolk does have a reputation for being slightly old fashioned, but while there are still plenty of pubs offering rooms, they’re not at all fusty or musty! Our Guru’s recommendations include a lively inn overlooking the Brancaster estuary and a modernised country inn beside one of Norfolk’s most beautiful sandy beaches. Plus good food, comfortable rooms, local tips and a friendly welcome every time.
