    Not a question of not liking, and the owner makes it very clear that there is a steep staircase to upper bedroom. Just not for immobile or inebriated 😁

    A beautiful immaculate place to stay

    The stairs to the top are very steep and uncomfortable. The pull-out chair downstairs is in bad condition, the mattress is too thin, the metal frame pierces through, it's good that we only stayed one night, the children couldn't sleep normally.

    Everything was clean and tidy. Large size TV.

    Nothing i can think of. Met the requirement for everything i needed for an overnight stay. Unfortunately i wasn't there long enough to sample all the facilities.

    N/A for Breakfast. Location great for the town centre. Unfortunately i was only there for one night to attend a funeral. I will however bear this location in mind if i should be in the area again.

    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.

    We were a bit apprehensive about the steep stairs to the bedroom but got used to that quickly.

    The sitting area was very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom very good. Throughout, the decor was attractive. The location was excellent. Although the bedroom was small, it was comfortable and nicely decorated. The accommodation was perfect for a couple.

    Only when I arrived the public house was shut till 6pm the owner came with a spare key that's the only small matter which was sorted out

    This bungalow was like the other at no 55 but I like both really the lock on the front was changed during my stay but I was helped by the owner came with spare key and the landlord at the public house was very helpful too I do appreciate what he did and the owner it didn't put me off my stay I shall come again in the new year and maybe Easter too I do enjoy staying here and it's very handy to whatever I do during my stay I went to the coast too had a lovely break thank you once again for helping me sort the lock matter out too

    The stairs to the upstairs bedroom were a bit scary - it did warn on the description that it was not suitable for people who had mobility issues. They are very steep.

    It is beautifully decorated with a lovely little patio out the back. I loved the ambience - very relaxing. Lots of things there to make the stay comfortable - towels, hand towels, tea towels in the kitchen, well supplied kitchen. Excellent location. The shower room was lovely too.

    Happy with everything!

    The host was extremely formative and helpful. The cottage was very clean and we really appreciated the little touches such as biscuits (my favourite) and tea/coffee etc. We ate at the pub one evening and the food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and so were the neighbours! We would definitely stay again!

    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!
