A country pub in Norfolk has been named one of the best places to stay in the UK.

The high-end travel guide Condé Nast has named its favourite country pubs to visit and The Gunton Arms in Thorpe Market has been named in the guide.

The publication said: "There's no backdrop like a 1,000-acre deer park...where the twilight dawdles as the mists engulf the estate.

"The look is old money drenched in big-hitting art. It could so easily be hipper than thou, and yet it's relaxed and unpretentious".

The gastro-pub is owned by art dealer Ivor Braka who has restored the estate, filling it with artwork from Damian Hirst and Lucien Freud.

It is not the first special mention The Gunton Arms has received being named in the Good Food Guide, named as the best place for a foodie escape by Waitrose, and mentioned as the "nations best" by BBC Good Food. 

The restaurant headed up by chef Stuart Tattersall has also been commended for "knocking out superlative steaks that draw people from all along the north Norfolk coast".
