Bank House in King's Lynn, England

Bank House offers 12 individually named rooms, each with its own decor and river or town views. The Captains Room includes a large bay window, a sofa and armchair, and a freestanding bath inside the bedroom. Rooms are accessed by key rather than a fob, and the building retains its original Georgian character with creaky floorboards and unique quirks.

The on-site restaurant serves a daily changing menu that focuses on local produce, with dishes such as fish of the day and a seafood chowder. The restaurant also provides a cooked-to-order breakfast that includes a full English and a vegetarian option. The bar offers a selection of wines and cocktails, and afternoon tea is served with sandwiches and scones.

Bank House sits on the quayside of the River Great Ouse, with the Custom House (built 1685) visible from the hotel. The property is within walking distance of St Margaret's Minster, the Guildhall, and the Saturday market. Sandringham House is 8 km away, Houghton Hall 22 km away, and Holkham Hall within driving distance.

Children are welcome at Bank House, with a children's menu available in the restaurant and accommodation options that include family rooms. Dogs are also allowed in certain areas of the hotel, and pet bowls and baskets are provided. The hotel's riverside terrace and garden offer space for children and dogs to enjoy the outdoors.

A stylish boardroom is available for meetings and private events, with catering provided by the hotel's kitchen. Bank House also hosts wedding receptions and has hosted cream teas for ceremonies. Fax and photocopying services can be arranged through the reception.
