Norfolk Coastal Gem Wins Best UK Hotel Award
27 Nov
Summary
- Coaching Inn Group crowned best in UK by thousands of customers.
- Manor Coastal Hotel in Blakeney boasts charming staff and location.
- Hotel recovered strongly after significant 2013 storm surge damage.
The Coaching Inn Group has earned the title of the UK's best hotel chain, according to a Which? survey of over 4,600 customers. The Manor Coastal Hotel and Inn in Blakeney, part of this group, exemplifies the chain's success, offering a blend of comfort and character in the North Norfolk countryside.
Despite minor disruptions like a temporary power outage, the hotel's history includes overcoming significant challenges. In 2013, it was severely impacted by a storm surge, with the damage estimated at £1bn. However, the establishment has since demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth.
Beyond its comfortable rooms, the hotel's appeal lies in its prime location near the River Glaven and its exceptionally charming staff, many of whom have long tenures. This personal touch transforms a simple stay into a homely experience, distinguishing it from more budget-focused competitors.
