  • Outstanding pub conversion

Award-winning inn situated in the beautiful grounds of Gunton Park with its deer herd, featuring tasteful and 'interesting' decor, comfortable furnishings and log fires in winter, in the style of a country house.

The large and well-stocked bar has plenty of seating with views across the park. East Anglian ales predominate, with regular guests. The first-class restaurant features some dishes cooked in the vaulted main dining room. Snacks are also available all day, plus sandwiches from 12-5 on Saturdays.

Accommodation is sumptuous and cosy, and most rooms overlook the thousand acres of restored parkland.

Conversion

A hotel and bar that started as the shooting lodge to Gunton Hall and is set in beautiful Gunton Park featuring tasteful, comfortable furnishings and log fires, in the style of a country house. The accommodation and the large bar have views across the thousand acres of historic parkland which has herds of deer. It was bought by an art dealer and his artist wife and radically transformed into a characterful pub, restaurant and hotel in 2011. They have created a visual treat that includes a vaulted dining room and an old-style bar that encourages drinkers to enjoy the charm of the building alongside diners. There are rooms, real ales and meals.
