Stower Grange Hotel

With its ivy-clad brick work and tree-lined drive, the Stower Grange Hotel provides Country House Hotel accommodation with a grand façade in a former rectory building. The en suite rooms are furnished in a classic style, including one with an eight-foot, oak four-poster bed.

Served overlooking the attractive gardens, the cuisine in the AA rosette restaurant is traditional in style with touches of the continental and local produce takes pride of place. The wine list is particularly worth a browse, with a wide variety of international names.

Drayton is a well-appointed suburban village close to Norwich airport. The centre of Norwich, Britain’s most complete medieval city is only three miles away.

Two cathedrals and a Norman castle constitute part of the ‘Norwich 12’, an architectural journey through the 1000-year heritage of the city. With two malls, a large market and independent stores clustered around cobbled streets, Norwich is also highly-rated for its shopping.

The Norfolk Broads are within ten miles, while the stunning North Norfolk coast is a thirty minute drive.
