Heacham Manor, a delightful country house hotel in North West Norfolk, has become the latest member of HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts' portfolio of independent hotels in the United Kingdom.

Built in 1580, Heacham Manor has been transformed from an Elizabethan manor house into one of the finest hotels in Norfolk. Its long and storied history has helped to inform its sympathetic renovation and refurbishment in 2009, when it opened its doors as a hotel for the first time.

Today, the hotel contains brand new spa facilities, an 18-hole golf course, named in 2014 by UK magazine Club Golfer, as 'Norfolk's most exciting new club' and an award-winning AA Rosette restaurant. The rooms – 45 of them – range from bright and modern Cottage Standard Rooms to the traditional, opulent Manor Suite. Each room is designed to welcome corporate and leisure travellers, whether they are individuals, couples, families, groups, and even well-behaved pets. Every guest is treated to complimentary Wi-Fi as standard, and there is plenty of free parking.

Heacham Manor also has excellent meeting and conference facilities, with three rooms perfect for small and medium-sized gatherings of up to 60 delegates. The rooms offer boardroom and auditorium-style spaces. The hotel is only 20-30 minutes away from corporate locations including three large retail parks and two industrial estates, as well as the historic medieval port of King's Lynn.

What sets Heacham Manor apart, however, is its various opportunities for leisure and relaxation that cater to the differing interests of all of its guests. Those without an interest in the highly-regarded 18-hole golf course might find the modern spa and treatment facilities or the well-stocked bars more to their liking.

The hotel's location means guests are only a 15-minute drive away from one of the homes of the Royal Family at Royal Sandringham Estate, as well as other stately homes such as Holkham Hall. Only a couple of miles away are the beautiful beaches of the North Norfolk Coast, featuring some of the best bird watching areas in the UK and the famous walking routes of Peddars Way and the Norfolk Coast Path. The hotel also has a unique historical connection: legend has it that Pocahontas herself planted a mulberry tree in the manor's grounds four hundred years ago.

Graham Bray, Marketing & Revenue Manager at Heacham Manor, said:

'I wanted to make sure Heacham Manor received the best possible representation, so it was important to find an experienced and reliable partner with a strong record in the industry, which is integrated with our PMS partner, Guestline. HotelREZ's expertise in the GDS market made it the obvious choice. We consider that there are few options that come close to offering HotelREZ's level of service.'

Heacham Manor is now available to book on the GDS via HotelREZ's HO chain code, its online booking website and call centre.
