The Hoste Hotel and Spa

What The Hoste Hotel and Spa does

The Hoste Hotel and Spa (operating commercially as The Hoste Arms) is a historic 17th-century coaching inn located on The Green in Burnham Market, North Norfolk, England. The property offers 47 individually designed bedrooms split across the main inn (39 rooms) and Vine House (8 rooms, a Georgian townhouse positioned across the green as an adults-only, dog-free sub-brand). Guest facilities include a full-service restaurant and bar with seasonal British menus crafted by a dedicated Head Chef using locally sourced ingredients, a terrace overlooking the village green, a 20-seat private cinema, a spa treatment cabin, and multiple event spaces — most notably the civil-ceremony-licensed Garden Room (capacity up to 120), The Lodge, and The Deck.

Revenue is generated from five principal streams: accommodation (rooms and packaged stays), food and beverage (restaurant, bar, Sunday roasts, Spritz menu), weddings and private events (space hire plus catering), corporate meetings and conferences (The Lodge and Garden Room with AV), and ancillary lines including gift vouchers sold through Young's platform, family-friendly stays with Borrow Boxes, and dog-friendly stays at a £25/night/dog supplement. Pricing is primarily quote-based for events and dynamic for rooms, with published child and pet rates. The business operates direct-to-consumer via its own website, the Young's Hotels booking platform (youngshotels.co.uk), and walk-in trade, with secondary distribution through OTAs and the gifts.youngs.co.uk voucher portal.

The Hoste Arms is owned and operated by Young & Co.'s Brewery, P.L.C., a UK pub operator listed on the London Stock Exchange and registered in England and Wales (company number 32762, registered office in Wandsworth, London). Young's provides the booking engine, gift voucher infrastructure, HR/recruitment, and back-office operations, while the property itself functions as a heritage hospitality asset within Young's pub and hotel estate. The venue serves leisure travellers, staycation guests, wedding couples, corporate event bookers, families, and dog-owning visitors to the North Norfolk coast.

Broad incumbents

• Malmaison: UK boutique hotel brand with rooms, restaurants, bars and event spaces. Comparable product and customer profile, but city-centric and chain-scaled versus The Hoste Arms' heritage country-inn positioning.
• Soho House: Global lifestyle hospitality group with boutique hotels, F&B, spa and event programming. Comparable on the experience-led, F&B-anchored boutique hotel model, though membership-driven and at much larger scale.
• Hotel du Vin: Established UK boutique hotel chain focused on food and wine. Comparable on boutique rooms + strong restaurant/bar F&B model, but operates as a multi-property chain with broader geographic reach.
• Belmond: Luxury heritage hotel collection with restaurants, spas and destination positioning. Comparable on heritage-led country properties and premium leisure weddings, though international and far larger scale.

Direct peers

• The Pig Hotels: UK boutique hotel collection focused on restaurant-led stays, seasonal menus and locally sourced produce. Directly comparable operating model (food-and-drink-anchored country hotel with individually designed rooms and event use).
• Titchwell Manor: Independent Norfolk coastal hotel with rooms, restaurant and event spaces near Brancaster. Direct peer along geography (same North Norfolk catchment), customer base (coastal leisure, weddings) and product mix (boutique rooms + restaurant).
• Hand Picked Hotels: Collection of UK country house hotels and boutique properties with restaurants, spas and weddings. Closest multi-property UK peer on heritage-led, leisure/event-driven boutique hospitality positioning.

Emerging players

• Artist Residence: Small UK collection of design-led boutique hotels with restaurant, bar and local-produce focus. Directly comparable boutique rooms-plus-restaurant model in regional UK locations.
• The Samling Hotel: Small Lake District luxury boutique hotel with restaurant, spa and event use. Comparable on intimate heritage/luxury country-inn positioning with strong F&B, though at a different scale and geography.
• Another Place, The Lake: Lake District boutique hotel with rooms, restaurant, spa and adventure-led programming. Comparable destination-boutique model with multi-revenue (rooms, F&B, spa, activities) and family- and dog-friendly positioning.
