Strattons Hotel in Swaffham was named the 2019 Good Hotel Guide Editor's Romantic Choice.

The guide, which is independent and impartial, praised the hotel as a 'hidden gem in which guests can relax and enjoy comfy and funky surroundings', with a restaurant, cafe deli and interiors shop on site.

Among the romantic features the judges identified in the hotel's 14 rooms and suites were open fires, four-poster beds, freestanding baths at the foot of the bed with room for two, a Moroccan-style tented ceiling, a private decked balcony and cinema screen.
