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.
We were in Norfolk for the Household Cavalry Open Day and needed somewhere for 2 nights. On our way up we stopped at The Black Horse in Thetford for supper. The property was gorgeous and Tibouche and Philip delightful hosts and very accommodating. Philip has a very interesting story or two. The beds were very comfortable and fans were provided as it was an exceptionally hot weekend. Breakfast was really yummy and after our return on the saturday we enjoyed a picnic supper in the garden under the gazebo. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay.
My family took a spur of the moment trip to Thetford. We happened upon this lovely B&B! It was super affordable, right in the middle of the beautiful village, and the owner/operator family was incredibly welcoming! Our room was fantastic and we were very pleased by what we got for the price we paid! Breakfast was lovely, as well! We definitely recommend and will be returning, should we find ourselves in Thetford, again!
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.
Thank you for the gift of your place in Thetford where we have dear friends we have visited many times. We’ve stayed at several establishments but your historic spot is one we loved the most. I shall tell my students about it this fall. Warm wishes. We are based at an Airbnb in Isleworth for a month. Wish we could leave you a review but our dear friend booked your place on our behalf. Will return.
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.
Absolutely loved this place. My ideal place to live. Great location and very comfortable. It was like having a home away from home. The place was spotless. Vicky was great at communication. I picked to stay here as it was cheaper than the local chain hotel and I'm so happy I did. Thank you Vicky. I visited Bury St Edmunds and Ickworth House while here.
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.
Very clean, very contemporary, perfect temperature, very, very convenient for the town centre (you are right there but the hotel is still very quiet and peaceful). Lovely, friendly staff who care a great deal about your stay, very reasonably priced as well
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.
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.
