welcome
The Hoste Arms is a 17th Century coaching inn located in one of Norfolks prettiest villages, Burnham Market, a few miles from the beautiful North Norfolk coast. My late husband, Paul Whittome purchased The Hoste in 1989 and over the years we have created a stylish and welcoming place to visit or stay, serving delicious seasonal, locally-sourced food and offering an extensive wine list in relaxed surroundings. The Hoste Arms now boasts 58 bedrooms spread across six properties, a cosy bar, lounge, conservatory, garden, three main restaurants, function facilities and a new beauty spa. With fellow Directors, Emma Tagg, Andrew McPherson and Janie Thompson and a dedicated team of loyal staff, I will continue Pauls legacy to create the ultimate convivial inn. I look forward to welcoming you to what is undoubtedly a special place. Jeanne Whittome

a hoste of places to relax, eat, drink and stay.

A hotel since 1651, The Hoste Arms has also been a court house; a livestock market and a brothel! The Hoste now boasts 34 individually-styled rooms and suites, all with beautiful bathrooms, plasma TVs, pure Egyptian cotton sheets and luxury toiletries from Arran Aromatics. The Zulu wing which reects Jeannes South African heritage, offers six beautifully-styled rooms plus a penthouse suite and now houses a new Beauty and Wellness Spa. Guests can enjoy breakfast, morning coffee, tea and cakes, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner in one of our many public areas and restaurants, or in the garden and outside dining terrace located at the rear of the hotel. The Hoste Arms is very much at the heart of the village and we welcome locals, visitors and holiday-makers, whether staying just a few hours... or a few days.

The Railway Inn is located on the outskirts of Burnham Market and ceased functioning as a railway station in 1957.

Sitting on the old railway tracks, the original railway carriage has been cleverly converted into a romantic, cosy retreat for two with a stunning copper basin, walk-in shower and luxurious fabrics.

The relaxed conviviality in The Hoste Arms bar with its roaring log re in the winter is hard to beat. Lord Nelson was a regular Saturday morning visitor until his summons to sea, and it is now popular with locals and visitors alike. Informal yet buzzy, it offers the perfect excuse to read the newspaper, enjoy the local ale, glass of wine or cocktail. There is also a selection of bar nibbles and snacks on offer. Dogs are always welcome at The Hoste Arms, nowhere more than in the bar!
