This Norfolk getaway is perfect for a big celebration, writes Adam Bloodworth THE WEEKEND: You’d be forgiven for having moved not only countries but continents by now in search of better weather, given the year we’ve had. But then last week changed everything and it’s finally nice! And you know what that means? It’s time to book a beautiful UK staycation immediately, because you know as well as anyone else that these blue skies won’t hold. Soon we’ll have another seven months of misery to endure.
Isn’t that a nice thought? No? Well hurry up and book a staycation then! WHERE? The quaint farming countryside of Norfolk , of course. You can stroll to the coast, take boat trips, and buy gorgeous local seafood and surprisingly good coffee in the cute hipster eateries of Blakeney, the seafront town close by to where we stayed. Or take the Norfolk Coast Path for a longer, more bracing afternoon’s adventuring.

There’s an entire corridor upstairs dedicated to the very essential art of dressing up, with tens of costumes, ranging from Halloween inspired to just plain bonkers. There are giant hats too, so you can slip up before dinner and don your most ludicrous outfit.
It’s ideal for big celebrations, parties, anniversaries, or corporate functions. Sleeping sixteen, with two bunk beds and the rest gorg.
