Eight spacious modern rooms are situated in the brick and flint annexe between the inn and the sea, topped with grass and flower-filled terraces that blend beautifully with the multicoloured marshes behind. Featuring ocean colours and mood lighting, all have a handy guide to this month's tide tables, alongside nespresso machines and all the mod cons.
You'll find seven more rooms above the inn, some with inland views and others with panoramic balcony vistas. Bathrooms are roomy and luxurious, boasting products by Aromatherapy Associates. The 'Room at the Top' comes highly recommended, a split-level space high in the eaves with French windows and a telescope for gazing out to sea. A local therapist is on call for in-room facials or aromatherapy - there's a price list in your room.
If you love homemade, seasonal and local fare, The White Horse is just the place for you. Depending on the season, feast on local cockles, crab, lobster, oysters, mullet, mackerel and sea trout from the dazzling menu. The meat and game is mostly Norfolk-grown too and dishes are enlivened by unususal or exotic twists.
There are one or two week night offers - Monday is mussel night with bumper bowlfuls or mix-and-match platters. The bar boasts plenty of delectable local ales along with a well-rounded wine list, with 13 by the glass and half-bottles available too.
