A welcoming inn with rooms on the edge of a small village. Stay in a converted barn in the pretty garden, eat delicious country fare

Read guest comments

Amelia and Marcus have transformed a derelict 17th-century pub overlooking the village common into a handsome inn with two stylish dining rooms, a book-lined garden room and a cosy snug with an open fire for winter. Sit at the friendly bar or in one of the many nooks and crannies.

Bedrooms are in the converted barns set around a courtyard in the garden; find some homemade shortbread as a welcome. Breakfast is cooked or continental; you can choose anything you like cooked to order. You'll want to stay for lunch and dinner too – the French chef’s hearty pub food attracts plenty of locals.

On sunny days you'll be supping a hand-drawn local ale in the large garden, playing croquet or listening to the comforting sound of leather on willow from the cricket club. Norwich is 20 miles, and the north Norfolk coast about the same.

  • GOLF: The Brisley Bell is ideally placed as a base to explore the county’s abundance of golf courses. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, you’ll find something to suit all tastes.
  • NORWICH CITY: a wonderful fusion of the modern & historic. As well as being the most complete medieval city in the UK, it has a flourishing arts, music and cultural scene, superb independent and high street shops, lively restaurants, bars and night life.
  • COUNTRY ESTATES: if you're a National Trust enthusiast, we've a plethora of beautiful houses, gardens and grounds to visit. From Sandringham estate and Blickling Hall to Holkham estate and Houghton Hall.
  • NORTH NORFOLK’S HERITAGE COASTLINE: Most people visit our coast for the wonderful birdwatching that the area presents, the vast open beaches and the diversity of landscape and terrain, (salt-marshes, woods, shingled beaches, clifftops and sand dunes).
  • HOLT: A charming Georgian town in North Norfolk. Beautiful market square with lots of interesting shops and plenty of antiques. Not far from Blakeney if you’re planning a boat trip to see the seals.
  • PENSTHORPE NATURE RESERVE: Spectacular gardens with nature trails throughout that are great for birdwatching or casual strolls. There’s an impressive children’s play area that goes down just as well as the scrummy cakes in the nearby café.

"Arrived for lunch on the Friday service was excellent staff very engaging and helpful, we were given a seat at the bar until our table had been wiped down and made ready, our water was George on the day who showed us through and explained the specials and the menu. Our order was taken efficiently and the meals arrived. The meals was fabulous well balanced. We were so impressed that we came back on the Sunday for lunch. Can’t praise the staff food or service enough "

"The Brisley Bell is another example of the enthusiasm and flair of a young couple turning round completely an almost derelict old country pub, to retain its original appeal but through careful additions to add modern style and attention to the needs of the guests, which are clearly paramount."

Peter - Sawday's inspector, United Kingdom
