Second time at the old world hotel, with 3 bar areas downstairs and 2 dining area’s upstairs and a large garden area. Menu was standard fayre, but delicious and generous portions - great value for money. Drinks well priced and staff friendly. The room we stayed in was a suite really with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and large clothes cupboard, and a fridge and microwave. Very clean, short walk from local supermarket, post office, gift shop and good cafe. Excellent base to access the forest. Very affordable as well - a fabulous stay!

Breakfast and dinner rooms very tastefully decorated Our room no 1 was adequate size for a pub/hotel with quality towels and toilet rolls ! Breakfast and excellent cooked to order hot and tasty alongside toast and fruit if required Decided on the strength of good breakfast to have an evening meal and our only regret was not having a the cheesecake dessert because of a plateful of soup and a large dinner Special thanks to Martin and Karen But to all The team at The crown hotel well done .

We had booked lunch in the garden for 12.00pm but, because of poor navigation in Thetford Forest we arrived nearer to 1.00pm than 12.00pm. Thankfully, having phoned ahead to warn of late arrival, our table was still reserved. The tables in the garden were socially distanced and the menus single use. From the extensive list of starters we ordered garlic bread, bang bang chicken, prawn cocktail, devilled mushrooms and white bait. They were all served with a green side salad and were very good Again the mains menu was extensive, from which we chose lasagne, roast beef, roast lamb, and steak and ale pie, each of which was served with beautifully cooked fresh vegetables and was very good. The roasts were huge and served with Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. The children’s burger was a limp disappointment; maybe we should have ordered an adult one! Washed down by pints of bitter shandy and many different children’s drinks this was a very satisfying Sunday lunch for about £100; very good value. We were too full, late and tired to go for the dessert menu which looked very tempting; maybe next time?

Tasty Stilton and ham ploughman’s which was too large to finish (am planning to finish the Stilton this evening with cheese crackers and a large glass of wine 🍷!) . The cheese burger 🍔 and fries was generous in portion size as well as in quality 👍🏻 Staff was lovely and obliging. Well worth a trip especially if need sustenance after browsing all the treasures in the Mundford’s furniture / gifts shop around the corner !!

It started out good. The first nights sleep was awful so I asked if they had a mattress topper. They very kindly provided one, however the mattresses were cheap and nasty and even with the mattress topper the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. The place seemed to have a few maintenance issues and we had to ask for more toilet paper twice during our stay. The shower kept blocking and we had to report this twice, but it continued to be blocked.
We in a family room with two double beds and a single. There are four steps up to the bathroom but no handrail. For safety’s sake I think a handrail is needed.
Breakfast on the first couple of days was very good. Hot food, properly cooked and the waitress who was an older lady was very welcoming, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Don’t know if the chef was the same or not but the lady was not there and there were two very young girls waiting on us. They were more interested in chatting to each other out in the kitchen than checking if we had what we wanted or clearing the tables.
They were sullen, forgetful and our breakfast came out with cold mushrooms. A man at another table said his beans were cold. Our waitress could not remember what we’d asked for and my partner was given tomato that he’d didn’t want. We had to keep asking for coffee. At one point the waitress threw away the coffee on the hot plate and we had to wait while another one filtered through. Neither of them looked around to clear tables or to check if anyone needed anything. On Wed my partners egg was not properly cooked so today we asked them to make sure it was cooked and not raw. It came out totally over cooked, like rubber! It felt like the chef was taking the P!
Dinner was ok but the portions were so large the chips and salad were falling off the plates. It was a bit off putting and we saw so much waste. We started ordering just starters because the mains were just too much.
Some locals using the bar were very foul mouthed and loud, and on occasions there were families eating in the bar. This is unacceptable.
A lot of the staff are very young. Untrained and unmanaged. Lacking customer service skills. It’s a shame because the older staff members work so hard. The youngsters let them down. We checked out a day early because we couldn’t face another bad night sleep or a badly cooked breakfast. This morning I just had toast and cereal because I couldn’t face it.

Stayed here for two nights while taking part in a National Cross Country event in Thetford a Forest. Great food, quality rooms and excellent staff. We stayed in one of the outer buildings. It was warm, cosy with tea and coffee available. There are two bars, both with log fires. Breakfast is served in one of two rooms upstairs in the main building. Good choice, although porridge not on it!

I have spent the last 6 months week on week off staying at the Crown and all I can say is thank you. They have been so welcoming and accommodating. If I’ve had any issues they have sorted them, if I needed food saving because of finishing late they have saved some for me and even let me stay in the same room every week because that was where I was comfortable. The breakfast crew are amazing, they are willing to accommodate any taste be it veggie or someone who really really likes ketchup. Karen makes breakfast a lovely part of the day considering I’m not a morning person, it’s like having your mum looking after you. Again thank you for looking after me so well and if I need to come back I know where I’m staying.

Stayed here for work and wow is the first word that comes to mind. Comfy rooms, tea, coffees, soaps and shower gels all supplied! The breakfast cannot be faulted, made to order and if you’re running late they will make it to take away. The pub is lovely and homely, with a log fire and a large assortment of beverages as well as a juke box machine for you to play lots of music, including sweet caroline!!!. The food menu is out of this world and all the staff are more than willing to cater for you if you want to deviate from the menu slightly! A lovely homely pub and hotel who are super friendly and inviting.

Charming property with very friendly staff. Food was very good at evening meal and breakfast. Staff could not be more accommodating even when we asked to move dining rooms (regrettably due to a Danny Dyer clone ‘talking to the room’ in the main restaurant! 20 minutes of his opinions on everything was enough). Our room in the main building was small but remember this property is nearly 600 years old. The bathroom was big enough. Everything was clean with nice quality bedding and a comfy firm bed. This property is incredibly old and full of character. If you want Marriott or Holiday Inn, go there instead. This is good old-fashioned service with a smile and in a lovely setting. Highly recommended.

Tried the Crown as an alternative to Travelodge, just for a change. This old village Inn exceeded expectations. Friendly staff at the bar were welcoming and showed me to a classically furnished ensuite room overlooking the quiet beer garden. Bar was busy and friendly and pub grub good value. This room was great value and included one of the best full English breakfast served by again warm and friendly staff. The village is beautiful and in lovely setting. I came on a business trip but this place would make an idesl short break.
