A major hospitality group has named one of its Norfolk venues its Hotel of the Year.
The Coastal Manor Hotel and Inn in Blakeney was handed the crown at The Coaching Inn Group's annual ceremony.
The 17th-century hotel, which sits right on the saltmarshes, was known as the Blakeney Manor Hotel until the group took it over in 2023.
The Coaching Inn Group runs 35 hotels and inns in market towns across the country and takes venues on with the aim of restoring them to their former glory.
It recently acquired the 188-year-old King William IV in Sedgeford and also manages The Pheasant in Holt.

Greg Dover, The Coastal Manor Hotel's general manager, said the award was a tribute to everyone in his team.
“There is a really great camaraderie between all departments with everyone willing to support one another,” he said.
The Coaching Inn Group's chief operating officer, Adam Charity, said after the ceremony that the hotel was a credit to the hospitality industry.
