Find the Best Hunstanton Bed and Breakfast

Hunstanton, affectionally referred to as "Sunny Hunny", is a mid-19th-century seaside resort on the western edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its location, facing west out over The Wash, makes it 1 of the few places along the east coast where you can catch the sun setting across the sea. Much of the elegant town sits atop a cliff, and there's a quiet village-like atmosphere, with cosy British pubs and stone-built cottages. It slopes down to a long, attraction-laden promenade that buzzes with the weekend break crowd, and a stretch of picturesque sandy beach. The family-friendly destination has plenty to keep kids entertained, from crazy golf courses to funfair rides.
