Cool, soothing pastel-shaded Scandinavian styling, and oodles of creature comforts await at a brand new hotel and restaurant, perched close to the UK’s most easterly point.
The Hog Hotel, in Pakefield near Lowestoft, is within touching distance of some of the most desirable parts of the country – Lowestoft’s sandy beaches, the wild dunes of Walberswick, chic Southwold, and the wilderness of the Norfolk Broads.
The hotel (set to be the first in a series along the East coastal region) is a passion project for Nathan and Sally Jones, alongside Nathan’s sister Cathy, who resides at the property as a co-director and general manager.
Pakefield holds fond memories for the siblings, whose parents used to run a fish and chip shop just up from the beach. And the hotel’s cheeky hedgehog branding is named for their father, Dave, who sadly passed away last year.
Formerly The Fishers Hotel, no stone has been left unturned in the complete refurbishment of the 150-year-old building, with sympathetic works carried out by local tradespeople to retain as many characterful features as possible, while transforming every room into a little oasis of coastal calm.
There are now 16 rooms to choose from, including options for families, dog owners and guests with mobility issues. All have been given a sprinkle of style by Hannah at Suffolk’s Shelf Interiors, whose subtle palette of gentle greys, blues, greens and yellows weave through every inch of the hotel.
