The publication's hotel inspector - dubbed "An Inspector Calls" - recently paid a visit to the Pig Shed Motel, which is based on the A1065 Swaffham to Fakenham road behind the George and Dragon pub in Newton, near Castle Acre.

Although initially "fearing the worst", the reviewer had high praise for the accommodation after immediately falling in love with his room which was twice the size he expected.

His only disappointment was that the George and Dragon, which is run separately, did not serve breakfast.
