A Norfolk hotel's new spa, featuring a unique beer bathing experience, has been recognised by a prestigious guide. 

The Norfolk Mead Hotel in Coltishall previously just had treatment rooms, but this summer a spa opened following a £3.5m investment.

The Thermal Suite boasts a hydrotherapy pool, herbal steam room, experience shower and a foot spa and the Outdoor Oasis area features an aromatic sauna, hot tub and cold shower buckets.
