Art dealer Ivor Braka bought the Gunton Arms in 2009 and converted the country house hotel into a pub, with works from the likes of Tracey Emin and Damien Hurst on display. 

The Big 7 Travel list is in its second year and is based on factors including ingredient quality, value for money and consistency of reviews.
