Company info

I run the guest house and our holiday cottage (which is just around the corner) on a full time basis now. Ali, our housekeeper is on-site during the daytime too and loves stopping to have a chat with our guests. I do all of the cooking myself at breakfast time and pride myself on the quality of the food on offer to our guests. Being on site all of the time ensures our standards are kept very high hence we constantly win awards on the basis of our excellent customer reviews. In February 2025, we were declared the winner of the Visit England's Best B&B/Guest House in Norfolk & Suffolk!

Property info

Belle Vue is a 18th century Grade II listed building in the village of Denver, Norfolk. Purchased in December 2014 by Louise (a Denver girl!) and Martyn, the 7 bedroom property has been extensively refurbished and now stands proudly in the heart of the village. 5 rooms are let to guests with 1 on the ground floor and 4 on the first floor.

Neighborhood info

We are right in the centre of Denver village, opposite the local pub (The Bell) and church. Just a couple of hundred yards away on the lovely Whin Common Road is our holiday cottage (Belle Vue Cottage). The village has a pub; a village general store and post office; two golf courses; fishing lakes; a sailing club; and, the recently refurbished Denver Windmill complex which hosts amongst other businesses, the Blackstone Engine Bar (serving locally brewed ales and several gins) and Tea Rooms. Parking is not a problem. We allocate a space at the rear of the house to each room reservation. There is also plenty of on street parking in the village. It's a popular area for cycling and walking with the River Great Ouse and Denver Sluice complex popular locations to pass through. We are just a short walk from the historic market town of Downham Market which hosts a number of very good restaurants (Allium, Naxos, The Cave, Dangs, The Downham Tandoori, Titash); a couple of minutes drive from the famous Arbuckles American Diner; Church Farm Rare Breeds Centre; and, The Hare Arms country pub at Stow. During the Spring/Summer, a visit to Watatunga (Norfolk's Wildlife Safari) is just 10 minutes away, combine it with a visit to Jack's Diner at Woodlakes or The Heron at Stow Bridge. Oxborough Hall is only 15 minutes away and within half an hour you could be enjoying the wonderful surroundings of the King's Sandringham Estate and the North Norfolk coast. Go south, Ely and it's stunning cathedral is no more than 20 minutes away.
