Rooms

The rooms at The Fox Inn meander through what used to be the village post office, bought by the inn's owners a few years ago. The result are eight country-smart rooms with contemporary furnishings and quirky detail touches. All are very comfortable with big cosy beds topped with quality linen and vibrant throws, high-spec TVs and spotless tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers.

The triple-aspect room at the top has a roll top tub in the room, while the five chalet-style Garden Rooms have private terraces - ideal for those travelling with their canine chums. The Fox English breakfast will really set you up for the day.

Restaurant & bar

The Fox has certainly earned its fine reputation for being the best 'gastropub' for miles around with their menus offering something for everyone. Showcasing the best regional ingredients, dishes range from imaginative lunchtime sandwiches, exciting pub classics with a twist to more sophisticated dishes on the evening carte. Meats are sourced from local farms and the fresh seafood comes straight from the Norfolk coast.

The Fox may thrive off its foodie reputation, but it remains a true local boozer with a relaxed vibe in the spacious bar. You'll find five top-quality beers on tap, including Adnams Bitter, Fuller's London Pride, Woodforde's Wherry and two guest beers. There's a shelf of boutique gins, a good range of juices and soft drinks, and a good global list of wines.
