What was meant to be a day trip up and back from Cornwall for a meeting turned into me, sat in a car park, searching hotels at 8 pm on a Friday because Murphy's Law laughed at my hubris.
I booked and drove directly there, arriving about 10 minutes after booking. Despite my late, unexpected arrival during the middle of dinner service, they met me with smiles, kindness, and patience. They sorted my check-in and sorted my bad day with a much-needed glass of wine.
The room itself was perfect for my needs, but it would have suited for a longer stay, too. I had the family room (my young daughter was with me), air we both found the beds to be super comfortable and a much needed respite from my poor planning.
I actually suffer from OCD, so normally, I keep that in mind when I discuss cleanliness. However, I can say that I was relieved to find that it was spotless, smelled fresh and inviting, and I was happy that I could walk around on the floor without slippers (you don't know me, but those who do would be surprised by this). The linens were crisp and fresh, the pillows were so comfortable, the coffee service was stocked and such a blessing this morning. I didn't make it to breakfast, unfortunately, but judging from the rest of my stay, I'm sure it would have been fantastic.
Parking was abundant. I couldn't hear any other patrons, which meant I slept a little better than I meant to (hence the missed breakfast). All around, it was just a fantastic stay.
I can't thank the staff enough for saving me from myself, and I highly recommend them. I will definitely be staying again next time I'm up...but I'll prebook this time, and maybe even bring a change of clothes or toiletries. 😂
Located in Bury Saint Edmunds, a 6-minute walk from The Apex, The Bushel by Greene King Inns has accommodations with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar.

Very personable and welcoming staff. Genuinely concerned for my comfort and pleasure. Food and service were excellent. Room was large and clean.

It's set in a beautiful part of the world and a really pleasant village.
The staff were amazing - very friendly.
The rooms were really clean indeed and freshened each day.
You must try the Norfolk Adder cider if you like cider. It's very nice indeed from the draught.
Food was fantastic. Freshly cooked and served on hot plates which ch is not something you get everywhere and mak s w difference.
I will return for sure whenever I am in the area.

We found several places of interest to visit within easy walking distance- e.g. priory, castle hill, duleep singh statue, dads army museum all with free entry. If you particularly wanted to visit Dads Army museum though check opening days/times in advance as quite limited. You need to be able bodied if you want to go up the castle hill-it's very tall and need to climb steps. Sit down eating out places limited although lots of take aways. Food was good at the local Wetherspoons-Red Lion-and available hours good. High street a bit run down-not for shopping fans. You would probably only need a couple of days to see everything but we enjoyed our visit.

We walked along the river bank to the town in the evening. There were some interesting buildings and we would have liked to visit the Burrel Museum but it is only open on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
On the way to the hotel we had a Sunday Lunch (3pm) at the Black Horse Thursford which we would highly recommend we hadn’t booked but they accommodated us and although very busy were very friendly and accommodating.

Great location and many places of interest.
Great location and many places of interest.
The pedestrian area was good to see and visit, Dads Army museum was excellent and the town trail worth doing, if only in part.
Never saw a single policeman over 3-days in the town central area. Definitely needed: in evenings, groups of youngsters, 9many with eastern European accents) being youngsters (noisy, kicking plastic bottles of water around, misbehaving) Looked like a drug seller beside The Bell Hotel (?) Group of 6/7 eastern European men drink cans
of larger near the supermarket and church entrance on King Street. A problem that will keep tourists away, needs sorting !
Glad we made the visit.

There's more to do in Thetford than you'd think!
There's more to do in Thetford than you'd think! It is oozing with history! It has an impressive motte & bailey castle mound with 89 steps to the top, a massive ruined Priory, the Dad's Army Museum (watch out! Only open on Saturdays!!), the Charles Burrell traction engine museum, the Ancient house museum (£5.70 adult ticket), and loads of stunning riverside walks leading one way to a nature reserve and the other Thetford Forest. I was amazed and delighted to see lots of small deer roaming around in many of the public parkland areas. There are plenty of pubs (including 'spoons) and cafes to eat at, charity shops if you like treasure-hunting, and quirky local shops. The lady in the Tourist Info shop in the high street was friendly and informative. We travelled to Thetford by train and had no problems getting to all the places of interest. I would definitely recommend!

Thetford Town was a mixture of old and new,,some places were quite run down. It had snowed when we was there, week before Xmas so all along the river looked very pretty and we enjoyed a river walk. Think it would be nice to visit in summer.
Very nice hotel and owners/managers. A welcoming and friendly bar., cheap prices compared to London. We were running a charity event at Snetterton race course. We had to be there early on Sunday morning as the gates opened. We were able to get a wonderful full English breakfast at 6.30am. The rooms are small but everything is clean and of good quality. We will certainly stay there again when we next visit Snetterton.
The property was in a great location to visit family living in the area. We were able to host visitors, prepare several meals, and entertain our visitors. Having laundry facilities on-site was great as we had been traveling for over a week before arriving and it was to freshen up some of our clothes. The hosts has left us a small welcome basket which provided us with items to make our first breakfast during our stay.
Location was walking distance from the cafes and restaurants on King Street. I was only 5 minutes from work. The apartment looked like it was built last year. Assigned off-street parking made it easy to park and safe for my car. I only hope the property is available next time I'm in Thetford. Host made sure I knew where to park and get the keys. It really felt like a home away from home.
This is the nicest place we have stayed in England.The accommodation was beautiful.
Piers the owner was wonderful, helpful , friendly and very entertaining.
The location was peaceful and great for walking with our whippet Darwin.Lots of wild 🦌 and hares .Also pretty central to visit both Norfolk and Suffolk coastline.
Would highly recommend a stay here.
Thank you for having us xx
For our purpose, which is to visit family in Thetford, the location is ideal as it is just round the corner from them. However, it is also in a generally quiet residential estate, about 15-20 minutes pleasant walk from the town centre and about the same from the large supermarket and garden centre/cafe. There are also pleasant walks along the river which runs through the town.
The amazing location, the link to Dad's Army, surely is a massive opportunity missed by Greene King to have a themed hotel which would attract tourists from all over the uk.
They seem to have a penchant for running their pub's and inn's into early grave's. Still an enjoyable stay, but could do so much better.
Spacious, very tastefully decorated, all what you need as a home from home. Bathroom was amazing with a lovely bath to relax in at the end of a busy day walking.
Property well positioned for walking into Thetford for eating out in the evening, and also walks in the surrounding area.
Location was perfect as we had a trip to Go Ape, Thetford forest, only 15min drive
Walking distance to pubs, shops and restaurants too
The host was amazing, water, tea, coffee, milk, toothbrush, cotton buds etc, anything you may have forgot to pack was provided
Cosy, clean and comfortable house in a superb location for Thetford. It is very well equipped. It's on a quiet street yet just a couple of minutes walk to the centre. There are a couple of free car parks also just two minutes walk away.
Quaint old hotel with lots of charm. In tow center of Thetford literally across the street from Thomas Payne’s statue. This place exudes old English history from its mortar. The staff were exceptional! They even had a fan in the room!
The breakfast was excellent. The farm is located in a very small village, a short distance from Thetford. It was very restful yet fairly central to reach Bury St. Edmund, other inland places of interest and also the east coast.
The property was lovely, and spacious for two! The location was great too, opposite a friendly pub in a historic town with lots to discover. If you're a Dad's Army or traction engine fan, Thetford's the place for you!
A warm welcome on arrival. Ideally located with beautifully appointed bedrooms and communal area.. Relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed the homemade conserves and delicious fresh bread.
Location, cleanliness, location, quietness, location! Charming little house, right in the centre of Thetford, yet supprisingly quiet. Perfect for any Dad's Army fan too.
The location was near shopping and historical buildings (Thetford Priory). The apartment was comfortable for our family of four, and it has a full kitchen and washer.
Great choice on breakfast menu and all perfectly cooked. Relaxed and very friendly hosts, nothing too much trouble, would be very happy to visit again.
