Best Western Priory Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially the restaurant staff. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Loved the extra large, fluffy white towels in the bathroom. We slept very well. It was very peaceful. We had an evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant. Both were good. The breakfast buffet was superb."

Three Kings

8/10 Good

"We didn’t get off to the best start as arrived to find a notice on the pub door to say that there was no power and pub was shut! Had to call a number to book in, young man arrived and assured us that our rooms were unaffected and that breakfast would be provided in the morning. Room clean and comfortable, major plus was good sized bath towels. Breakfast was indeed provided, full English cooked fresh to order, Kevin was lovely. Only complaint is that we weren’t forewarned about the pub being closed. "

The Bell Hotel Thetford by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"Rooms are comfortable and very clean. Breakfast is cooked to order and of an excellent quality. The staff are all helpful and efficient. The hotel is ideally situated for access to the town centre, Dad's Army Museum, bus station and is about 15 minutes' walk from the train station. The bar is welcoming and serves a good selection of drinks. There is a small outdoor courtyard area in which to sit if the weather permits. On the negative side, the hotel is definitely in need of some refurbishment and painting, plus replacement of carpets."

The Mill Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room we had was a little small but adequate for a short stay. Price very reasonable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast, food was good but they didn't replenish quickly enough. We had to ask for more coffee, pastries and eggs many times. However, the staff always acted to resolve the issues as soon as they could."
