Congham Hall Hotel  Rooms start at £125 When you first pull into the driveway, Congham Hall looks like any other Traditional country house hotel. Inside the Georgian manor house, which is mere miles away from the Queen’s Sandringham Estate, you are greeted by grand fireplaces and rows of wellington boots but you can forget frilly valances and fussy interiors - the hotel’s 26 rooms are nothing short of stylish, with bold prints, contemporary fabrics, deep stone baths and monsoon showers. If you’re lucky enough to bag a garden room, you’ll find your hotel haven opens up onto a little patio, too. Aside from their insanely comfy beds, what really makes Congham Hall special is its spa. Situated in a pretty little building away from the hotel – within hopping distance from the garden rooms – the small, intimate spa offers a wide range of reasonably priced treatments as well as a hydro-pool, hot tub, experience showers, sauna and steam room. Hotel guests get earlier access to the facilities than spa visitors, so when we were there we had the place to ourselves for an hour before breakfast. Divine. 54
