Beautiful Norfolk

Where do you go to enjoy a relaxing weekend away? Well, having just returned from spending two nights in Holt, I recommend the Norfolk coast.

My husband and I stayed at the 'posh B&B' Byfords in Holt which was a real pleasure. The rooms were sooo cosy and they have a wonderful deli, cafe and restaurant too. And if that's not enough, we were presented with a free cup of tea and cake on arrival, and bedtime cookies just before we fell asleep.

It was also a great place to stay before exploring the delights of the North Norfolk coast - Cley, Wells

next the Sea, Burnham Market, Cromer and even Nelson's birthplace - Burnham Thorpe.

My top five places to visit in Norfolk

1. Byfords Posh B & B - they serve the best breakfasts
2. The Pigs in Edgefield - voted Country Pub of the Year 2009 by Country Life magazine and a quirky and very piggy experience!
3. Hello Sweetie - sellers of traditional sweets, the Rhubarb & Custards are my favourite!
4. The Lord Nelson in Burnham Thorpe - Nelson's cosy, local pub
5. Wells next the Sea - a vast, bracing beach with beautiful sand dunes to race up and down. Why not hire a beach hut for the day!

We also met a pheasant along the way too, but that's another story....
