A north Norfolk hotel has become one of the first to achieve Michelin Key status.
Since its launch in 1900, the Michelin Guide has become a respected source of recommendations for hotels and restaurants.
Earlier this year it unveiled a new ranking system which would award particularly impressive Michelin-recognised hotels with One, Two or Three Keys.
One Key hotels offer guests a "very special stay", Two Key hotels offer an "exceptional stay" and Three Key hotels offer an "extraordinary stay".
Michelin Key selections were launched in France, Spain, Italy, Japan USA, Canada, Mexico and Thailand earlier this year and the first Great British and Irish list was released on October 1.
The Harper, in Langham, was one of just 72 venues to achieve One Key status.
