Gunthorpe Hall is a large part Georgian, part Victorian Hall in North Norfolk about five miles inland from the sea.  It grew in size slowly from the mid 17th Century to Victorian times to about forty rooms in the main house with a separate stable block and coach house.  The Hall, part of which was designed by Sir John Soane, is a listed building of historic and architectural interest.  Soane was appointed as architect to design The Bank of England in 1778, and his plans for Gunthorpe Hall are now in the Soane Museum in London.

The Hall is privately owned and when purchased in 1980 had lain vacant and untended for seven years.  This emptiness and lack of care combined with years of structural neglect meant that the house was riddled with dry rot and desperately in need of restoration.  For seven years a phased programme for The Hall's restoration was run using a combination of local professionals and live-in craftspeople.  As a community began to live in The Hall, so it returned to life.  The restoration of the main part of The Hall was completed in 1987.  All necessary structural and practical changes were made during restoration, at the same time efforts were made to keep The Hall basically unaltered while bringing it into the twentieth century.

The Georgian and Victorian wings were divided from The Hall making them each self-contained.  The Georgian Wing, called Wing House, is available to let for self catering holidays.  Self-contained accommodation has been created within The Hall for the managing couple and staff.  The rest of The Hall, which retains the character of a private house, is also available for letting.  The fact that The Hall has been completed in the style of a private home greatly adds to the entertainment and enjoyment of visiting guests.  This makes it a perfect place for family reunions, holidays with friends, celebrations or weddings.  It is also an excellent venue for group activity holidays and courses such as music, art, bird watching, nature studies, photography, cooking and corporate training or brainstorming breaks.  The main hall itself can accommodate up to thirty people, depending on how the rooms are utilized.  If Wing House is included groups of forty can be accommodated.
