Gunton Arms

We have just got back from an incredible weekend at The Gunton Arms in Norfolk.  The owner, Ivor Braka, an art dealer has created a place which is stylish, comfortable, relaxed and completely unique - we felt so at home that we really didn't want to leave! 

It is a very special place the Gunton Arms, the walls are laced with mind blowing art where you will find Damien Hirst's in the loos and Tracey Emin's in the dining room.  Not only is Gunton dripping in the most exciting art,  but it is also the home to some seriously delicious food -  Stu the head chef cooks from an open fire in the middle of the Elk room which is a show in itself - the venison and scallops come highly recommended! 

We walked the beautiful grounds of Gunton, ate, drank, and peeled ourselves away only once to catch some fish and chips in Cromer at No.1 Fish and Chips -  it sure did live up to its name. 

The perfect staycation!
