A great old hotel / pub with links to the TV show Dad's Army. The old part is atmosphric while the new part is comfy and modern. Great location in centre of town overlooking the river.

We had no idea how many social problems there were in Thetford. All of this marked our stay from being attacked by vicious loose dogs to loud drunks in the high street. Our room needed new windows but was otherwise adequate. If they are all like then a serious programme of investment is needed. Bar food was mostly nice and easy. Frequently though it was unstaffed as the kitchen is miles away. Why not give service to a KP and use walkie-talkies? Dog treats appreciated. We wanted to go to the church but found it was long closed down and to cap it off we found a dead swan which i reported. Sadly we will never return to Thetford.

Having stayed a few years ago and been satisfied, this time it's plain to see that this hotel needs revamping and some money spent on it, i thought everything was tired, although not the hotels fault the locals were not the best type if you know what i mean, the location has worsened since my last visit, Thetford seemed very run down so no more visits from me.

The building is falling apart!! The windows are Single glazed so it was so noisy and the actual window frames were rotten so there were massive gaps in the window. I tried pugging the hoes with tissue but it did little good! The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was average at best. The bed itself was comfortable and clean

To be fair the building has great potential but needs a bit ( lot) of TLC & money to upgrade rooms & public areas. The room was kept as clean as it could be but was tired.

Parking was ok, after we discovered another overflow car park. Room was clean and comfortable. It was so noisy with traffic and people outside our window. Not helped by a coach arriving with tourists at 5.40am,laughing and chatting loudly. I did discover that our window was stuck open in the morning,when I reported to the reception they said oh yes we know several people have complained. No apology from anyone, they just said they're waiting for it to be sorted out. I was really disappointed as I've stayed her a couple of times now.

Parking was very limited and open to public access. No apparent cctv coverage either. Due to a private function we could not use the hotel restaurant - it would have been helpful to have been advised of this beforehand as we struggled to find anywhere to eat. Our room was clean but very dated and shabby. Beds were not that comfortable and there were no plug sockets by the beds to charge phones etc. The bathroom - like the bedroom - was very dated and in need of a refit. Breakfast the next morning was the worst part of our stay. Overcooked, rock hard bacon, undercooked sausages and to top it all, mouldy bread! Overall it was very disappointing. We have stayed at the hotel before and enjoyed it a lot. The place needs some investment and refurbishment.
