The Titchwell Manor Hotel (a)

The Titchwell Manor is situated at the side of the main A149 coast-road. Although near the road it is raised about 10 feet above the marshes toward the sea; sufficient to afford magnificent views.

You would be well advised to book; certainly for a weekend evening and in summer.

Burnham Market

The Hoste Arms  

Not the place to go to eat if you are watching your budget. The restaurant is modestly up-market, but the quality of the food is excellent with a good range of traditional and a la cuisine dishes.
If you wish to savour the lively flavour of the "Hoste", then maybe have a pre-meal drink in the public bar. If it's to your taste, then have a large glass of the house dry white wine.

The "Thee Horseshoes, Warham (includes accomodation at the Old Post Office)

"The Three Horseshoes"

The "Thee Horseshoes" stands four-square on the crossroads at the centre of this village. It was formerly a shop property which owner Mr Ian Salmon has made into a very succesful pub which serves superb food. Don't expect plush surroundings! It's bare boards and basic, but don't let that put you off. The awards from "Good Food" to Egon Ronay to Good Pub Guide won year-in year-out are countless, and the food is always top-notch home-cooking.
It does get busy in-season (and out, sometimes!) There's ample parking space in the field diagonally across the cross-roads.
A three-course meal for two with wine comes out at no more than £30. (I've lost count how many times my wife and I have been- and never been disappointed)

stay here; B&b is available at the adjacent "Old Post Office"
