PASSPORT PARTNER UPDATES
Introducing Henry's Bar at Byfords
Take a look at Henry’s - the new bar and lounge at Byfords. Once home to an old ironmonger’s run by Henry Byford himself, this thoughtfully restored space pays homage to the building’s storied past. From subtle design nods to Byfords’ heritage to its cosy corners and elegant charm, Henry’s is full of character.
Exclusively for overnight guests, it’s the perfect hideaway after a day exploring Norfolk. Put your feet up, soak in the atmosphere, and sip on a quirky cocktail (or two).
