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.
There was everything I expected from the house. We used oven for our dinner and cooked pizza 👌🍕 there is enough of cutlery, plates and souse pans.
Aldi and Tesco are close to house. I am impressed by the foot path to Tesco. No cars and nothing is bothering you to enjoy your walk in the forest on the way to the Tesco.
Clean and nice bathroom with enough quantity of towels. TV is in each room. New and nice beds with clean bedding. Kettle was not new.
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
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.
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.
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!
The location is very good,right in the town centre and only 15 minutes by car from Thetford forest. Breakfast was very nice. All staff was very friendly.
Comfortable bed and very big room.
Free parking.
A warm welcome on arrival. Ideally located with beautifully appointed bedrooms and communal area.. Relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed the homemade conserves and delicious fresh bread.
Lovely accommodation to have a chilled break whilst visiting extended family in Norfolk and Suffolk, we also took the opportunity to visit one of our favourite cities, Cambridge.
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.
