Black Lion
Listed under Best Hotels in East Anglia, United Kingdom.
Six years ago hotelier Craig Jarvis bought this 17th-century inn with a colourful history and transformed it into a hotel full of quirky character. Downstairs, with its comfortable bar, informal bistro and elegant dining room, there's no hint of the extravagant bedrooms upstairs: some exotically flamboyant, others coolly romantic. Sink into one of the bar's squashy sofas for a drink before a first-rate dinner.
