She said: I m really pleased but it s obviously not just us, it s the whole team, it s a big achievement and especially now that we re able to open properly from next week.
Ms Duttson, said while it had been a challenging time for businesses the team at The Norfolk Mead had tried to use the pandemic to carry out maintenance and updates.
She said she thought there were a number of factors that made the hotel a favourite for romantic getaways, including the range of rooms available to guests, the hotel s grounds and the restaurant. On the romance side of things, we have had quite a few engagements, each room is very different and we are not a standard boutique hotel, said Ms Duttson.

We ve gathered some afternoon tea delivery companies in Norfolk that are perfect for a decadent mid-afternoon treat
Afternoon tea is an institution in Britain. And we have Queen Victoria’s close friend Anna Maria Russell, Duchess of Bedford to thank for this rather delightful custom.
It is said that the Duchess would get peckish in the afternoon and complain of a ‘sinking feeling’, as it was common for most people to eat their evening meal rather late at around 8pm. So, one afternoon in the mid 1840’s, Anna Maria Russell requested a pot of tea and some snacks to sate her appetite and in that moment afternoon tea was born.
