Harper Langham
Contemporary-industrial country house with an unstuffy, come-as-you-are attitude. More Scandi wellness than country-house pomp. Dog walkers and cocktail drinkers equally welcome.

Why It Matters
Named 1 Michelin Key in both 2024 and 2025, and won the Good Hotel Guide César Award for best hotel in East Anglia. One of very few genuinely contemporary luxury hotels on the North Norfolk coast, housed in the beautifully restored former Langham Glass factory. Every spa pool session is booked on an exclusive-use basis — a genuinely rare touch.
A 32-room boutique hotel built inside a converted flint-and-brick glassblowing factory in the quiet Norfolk village of Langham, a mile from the coast at Blakeney. Opened in 2021 by Sam Cutmore-Scott, it has a genuinely relaxed, no-stuffiness feel — think four-poster beds, Negronis pre-mixed in the fridge, and a Scandi-style spa you book by the private slot. The interiors nod to the building's industrial past with exposed red brick, copper, oak, and slate, balanced against primary-hued velvet couches and irreverent artwork.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Big
The entry-level room at The Harper, but don't let that fool you — 280 square feet is genuinely spacious. Some face the landscaped courtyard and fire pit; others look east for morning light. A handful have characterful sloping ceilings that rule out a four-poster, and there are twin configurations available. All the Harper room essentials included.
Double (most) or Twin
Bigger
Over 300 square feet of 'quirk and comfort' according to the hotel. East-facing for sunrise views. Some rooms have sloping ceilings that rule out the four-poster, but the extra space and personality make up for it. Same full suite of room amenities as all Harper rooms.
Double (most)Biggest
Over 400 square feet, west-facing for the evening sun. Some rooms have Juliet balconies with views over The Yard courtyard. These are the premium standard room tier — generous space, great light, and all the Harper signature touches.
Double (four-poster)Biggest Plus
The most generous room in the main hotel building — over 400 square feet with the largest bathrooms on-site, designed for long soaks. West-facing, evening sun. The 'lock yourself away' option for guests who want serious space and privacy.
Double (four-poster)Combo Room
A double room with four-poster connected via an internal door to a twin room — perfect for multigenerational trips or groups. East-facing for morning sun. Open the connecting door to share the space or close it for independent privacy. Both rooms have all the Harper standard amenities.
Double (four-poster) + TwinFamily Room
A self-contained family room — big enough for the whole crew but intimate enough to feel cosy. East-facing for morning light, which suits the early risers most families come with. Includes all the Harper standard amenities.
Mixed (family configuration)The Cottage (Biggest Cottage)
Entirely self-contained and set just away from the main hotel building — the pick for multi-generational trips or families who want their own front door. Breakfast is not included by default (you can pre-order a Continental hamper for £15/day or walk across to Stanley's for a cooked breakfast from £25).

How you'll actually spend your days.
The hotel partners with Bayfield Hall for clay pigeon shooting sessions — a classic Norfolk countryside pursuit, arrangeable through the hotel.
Complimentary bikes available for guests to explore the surrounding lanes, coast path and countryside. Pre-order a Harper Hamper picnic to take along for the ride.
Curated walking routes provided by the hotel, ranging from the mile-long coast path run to the sea to longer countryside trails. Maps and route cards available from reception. The staff are particularly good at tailoring recommendations to your pace.
Golf at nearby North Norfolk courses — the hotel can provide recommendations and directions. North Norfolk has several links-style courses within easy driving distance.
Guided open-water swimming and coastal exploration experiences arranged through the Coastal Exploration Company, featured in the hotel's 'Out & About' guide.
A private event and leisure space with a full-size pool table and a 120-inch screen. Available for movie screenings, private parties, or just an afternoon of pool. Can also be set up for yoga classes or private gatherings.
Exclusive-use 30-minute swimming pool slots. You book the entire stone-clad, naturally lit indoor pool to yourself — no lane sharing. Available daily 7am–10pm. Must be pre-booked via stay confirmation email.
The hotel can point guests toward seal-spotting boat trips from Morston Quay, just a short drive away, to Blakeney Point — home to one of Europe's largest grey seal colonies. Not run by the hotel directly but a core part of the Harper experience.
