Amazing service.

Just want we needed staff were fantastic and really went the extra mile to accommodate our early arrival and had the room ready for us. Room was nice and big and comfortable. It is a little dated but generally expected. Breakfast was good also. But staff really made the stay were super helpful and friendly.

There for Dads Army tour visit

We stayed Saturday 12th April for just the one night. Ample car parking and a warm welcome at reception. We had room 11 with a balcony it is very basic but clean. A bath with shower overhead plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. A sofa bed and coffee table by the window. No hairdryer available in the room and only one hand towel. We didnt have dinner in the hotel but chose a local restaurant. Breakfast was cooked to order, nice to see strawberries and blueberries along with yogurt. A comfortable stay but needs some TLC its looking a little tired. We liked Thetford itself lots to see if you like history we were visiting as we had tickets booked for Dads Army tour. Highly recommended great museum too.

Returned to home town for school reunion so knew the hotel was central and in a good location, staff on reception were very helpful and friendly but generally the hotel just seemed tired and in need of decoration, shower was warm despite a sign warning you to be careful of hot water and the bath was worn and stained and furniture had handles missing and was chipped. Appreciate it is an old building so furniture and decoration is in line with age of property

My Stay

Our shower did not work and after reporting it nothing happened. My wife and I both had to go without a shower after her park run. We had both advised the reception. Once at 7am and again at 9.40. They just said we will report it and no offer of another room to shower in. The bar staff were great.

Historic Hotel full of character.

I meeded an overnight stop en-route to an event in the area. The location, price and car parking options first attracted me. On arrival I was greeted courteously and made very welcome. The staff were all very professional, but also sympathetic and obliging to a small additional request I had. The room was comfortable and clean, and a good size. Bathroom and Bed both of good standard. Ideally located for an all too brief look around the Town, the Hotel has its own charm, history and character. I would definitely go back.

Awesome

It was awesome! The food was great! We stayed in Room 29 (the haunted room) but no spirits were playing except for hiding the TV remote control which we found under the bed on the old fireplace step!!
