The Brisley Bell

A little time to switch off, slow down and simply relax.

We're delighted to be one of just six Norfolk staycations hand-picked to be part of the Slow You Down Wellbeing VIP Visiting Collection.

Enjoy a truly indulgent massage experience in the comfort and privacy of your bedroom here at The Brisley Bell, with treatments brought directly to you by experienced wellbeing practitioner Kate.

Unlike a traditional massage, each treatment takes place on a comfortable, heated futon, surrounded by soft candlelight, with calming music or nature sounds to help you unwind.

Combining eight therapeutic techniques, from Swedish and deep tissue massage to acupressure and mindful breathwork, every experience is tailored to you, with a no-oil option available too.

The perfect addition to a relaxing Norfolk escape. 🍃

Get in touch with our team to find out more about adding a wellbeing treatment to your stay.

Independent. Norfolk. And proudly doing things our own way. 💚

When we brought The Brisley Bell back to life, we set out to create somewhere that feels every bit as special as its Norfolk surroundings.

We’re still very much part of the day-to-day life of The Bell, working alongside our team to make it the kind of place we’d want to visit ourselves – whether that’s for a pint at the bar, dinner with friends or a few days away in the Norfolk countryside.

Today, there’s seasonal food shaped by the best local produce, a free-house bar, six individually designed bedrooms and two acres of gardens to explore.

At the heart of it all is a love of good hospitality – working with brilliant local suppliers, supporting our community and making sure The Bell remains a warm, welcoming place for everyone who walks through the door.

Proudly independent. Proudly Norfolk.

Stay in Stewkey.

With its dark, soothing colour palette and cosy interiors, Stewkey is designed to be a serene and relaxing place to retreat after a day exploring Norfolk.

The room takes its name from Stiffkey – or “Stewkey” as it’s known locally – a beautiful North Norfolk coastal village surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home to salt marshes rich in wildlife.

And there’s no need to leave your four-legged companion behind. 🐾 Stewkey is one of our dog-friendly rooms, so they can enjoy a Norfolk escape too.

🔗 Discover Stewkey and book your stay via our website.

Proper pub, proper pint 🍻

At The Brisley Bell, the bar is at the heart of what we do. With a large, welcoming pub and six b**r pumps, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to settling in for a drink.

As a free house, we’re able to curate our drinks list and support independent producers, including Hawkstone, alongside a changing selection of b**rs.

Whether you’re popping in after a countryside walk or meeting friends for a few pints, pull up a chair and make yourself at home 🍺🌿
