Norfolk/Suffolk/Cambs/Lincs/ Leics - romantic break help

[curlydolly]

I'm trying to find a hotel for a long awaited romantic break around Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire or Leicestershire. Its got to be amazing and I'm getting fed up with searching online. Can anyone help? Thanks mumsnetters

What kind of facilities do you want? Budget?

lets say we are prepared to splash out a bit as its got to be special.

What sort of thing are you looking for?

What have you discounted so far?

A friend of mine used to go to Morston hall near Blakeney with her DH for special occasions

Or what about the Victoria at Holkham? (never been but I think otehr Mners have and may be able to recommend or not)

ok I think I need to be a bit more specific! Looking at country house style but don't want anything stuffy. Good food and large rooms, maybe with spa but thats not essential. Would quite like something a bit different with more of a personal touch.

Restaurant with rooms rather thana hotel, but looks v. romantic - dh and I were going for our wedding anniversary but have had to cxl as we are getting a new puppy the week before

looked at the Victoria actually. That is an option..has anyone been there recently?

The Crown and Castle at Orford in Suffolk is fantastic - gorgeous rooms, and wonderful wonderful food....

There is a website - can't do links though so you'll have to google it!

The C & C is Ruth Watson's hotel isn;t it?

yes it is

Thanks everyone for suggestions. They all look lovely. Just one slight problem we were thinking of going in January but that seems to be the time when hotels close so we may rethink and go in Feb. I am a hotel inspector fan so would be really interested in what she has done at the C&C.

We are going here for my 40th in January.

we went here for our wedding anniversary once and it was lovely. Or the Hoste Arms in Burnham Market is fab too.

Try Alastair Sawday www.sawdays.co.uk for lots of lovely places too.

the C&C was reviewed in one of the Sundays recently - they were less impressed than they might have been given who it belongs to.

I'll see if I can find it.

ooh I was going to say the Crown and Castle too - never been but friends have stayed there - I do like Ruth Watson !

and I'd love to go to Morston Hall !!

We went here- Sketchley Grange hotel at Hinckley (just off the M69, Leicestershire) for my Grandma's 90th birthday a few years ago.
