| Formerly known as Fritton Old
Hall, Fritton House has its origins back in the fifteenth
century when it was thought to be an Inn for sea traders
and smugglers navigating through the Lound lakes from
the North Sea to the River Waveney and beyond. Fritton
House is not grand but, we like to think, very comfortable
and intimate, serving fresh, locally sourced food, much
of which is supplied from the estate’s natural
larder. |

The real magic of Fritton House
is its setting on the edge of Fritton Lake, the jewel in
the Somerleyton crown, and arguably the most beautiful stretch
of water in East Anglia. Tucked between the North Sea on
one side and the Waveney river valley on the other the Somerleyton
Estate is a traditional farming estate covering some 5000
acres, much of which is accessible via a network of bridleways
and footpaths, and its unspoilt countryside serves as a comforting
buffer from the world outside.
With Fritton country park on the adjacent site Fritton House
is a great environment for kids, a secluded retreat for
weekend breaks and ideally situated for business travellers
visiting Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and Norwich. Other attractions
on the estate include Somerleyton Hall & Gardens and
the Duke’s Head, our gastropub over looking the River
Waveney. In addition, we are expanding on existing walks
right around and across the estate for those keen to stretch
their legs. If you have time to explore the locality further,
the Suffolk Heritage coast which runs from Southwold to
Aldeburgh about 25 minutes away offers seaside towns and
Adnams beer whilst the Norfolk Broads National Park can
be accessed from St Olaves only a mile away for adventures
by boat! Clean sandy beaches run from Gorleston to north
of Great Yarmouth both of which offer more traditional activities
such as fun fares and arcades. For retail therapy and culture
Norwich is a rival to any major regional city and, further, Beccles
and Bungay combine traditional market towns with excellent
antiques and tea shops and restaurants.
Throughout May and June we will be offering introductory
rates for both mid-week business customers and weekenders
alike. Please contact Sarah Winterton to make your booking.

The Victorians enjoyed the formal gardens and rowing on
Fritton Lake long before the present Lord Somerleyton opened
Fritton Country Park in 1971, so it is a great pleasure to be
able to continue the development of the venerable 'institution'
that is Fritton Lake. Following the success of the Duke’s
Head, our gastropub in Somerleyton, Fritton House is a continuation
of the same theme, serving fresh seasonal and regional menus
and also offering a boutique hotel with nine contemporary en suite
bedrooms.
Fritton House is well positioned for business travellers visiting
Norwich, Great Yarmouth or Lowestoft and an intimate comfortable
hotel for weekends and short breaks from which to explore the
unspoilt acres of the Somerleyton estate which our family has
been privileged to enjoy since 1863 and which we are determined
to preserve and enhance. Our ancestors were successful entrepreneurs
in Victorians times and the Crossley cross symbol was created
by the Crossley family in the 19th century.
The emblem has always stood as a hallmark of quality and we
intend to ensure those high standards continue here at Fritton
House and across the estate’s businesses. the Hon.Hugh crossley and all those who
work here look forward to welcoming our first guests at Fritton
House and will make every effort to make sure you never want
to leave.
