Norfolk isn’t blessed with a large crop of spa and resort hotels – it’s a rural county, and most of it is relatively far from the urban folk who crave the sort of pampering spa hotels promise. Indeed, often the resort hotels here are of the old-fashioned kind that existed long before experience showers and reiki treatments were even dreamed of.
Having said that, there are a few little gems where you can enjoy all the delights of a decent spa – lots of treatments, a good pool and even a hot tub – alongside the real reasons people come to Norfolk: the beautiful coastline, big skies and the feeling of being far from the rat race. As such, it’s perfect spa territory, and nowhere delivers hot tubs beneath dark skies with quite such aplomb.
