Explore Norfolk
Set on the banks of the River Bure in the heart of the unspoilt Norfolk Broads National Park, The Norfolk Mead is surrounded by some of the county’s most beautiful scenery. Norfolk is a wonderful place to explore, with its rivers, coastline, countryside and characterful villages offering endless opportunities to get out, discover something new and simply enjoy being away.
Anna & James Holiday
Owners Anna and James both come from strong catering and hospitality backgrounds and first met while working on the Formula One circuit with McLaren, where they travelled the world catering for drivers, mechanics and support teams at the highest level.
Their combined experience across restaurants, hotels and large-scale international events laid the foundations for what would become The Norfolk Mead.
When Anna and James discovered The Norfolk Mead, they saw not just a hotel, but the potential to create a welcoming destination built around food, service and memorable experiences. Carefully restored and thoughtfully developed, The Norfolk Mead reflects their belief in relaxed luxury.
Pet Friendly
We welcome pets at The Norfolk Mead but unfortunately they can only stay in some of our rooms: Juniper, Crab Apple and Sweet Chestnut.
Please be aware before you book that dogs and pets are not allowed in the main hotel, venue or spa.
Pets are charged at £20 per night and we do operate a well-behaved pet policy (any damages caused by pets must be paid before you check-out).
