Lynford Hall Hotel

We stayed in a courtyard double room for 2 nights. The room is situated in a block of several others on 3 sides. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and tidy. The double bed was very comfortable. There was a fridge and microwave and hangers rather than a wardrobe for hanging items. Ideal for short stays. The hotel is a mid Victorian building, which in its day would have been very grand and its history is interesting, Due to the time of year there was minimal staff, though all were very friendly and helpful . Pub type evening meals on offer and a substantial breakfast was included in the price.The hotel is positioned in a largely wooded area, though has a wonderful garden to the front overlooking a lake/river + we loved walking our dogs between the avenue of huge trees leading to the gates of the hotel. Additionally the adjacent surround is managed by the forestry commission. There is a lovely walk around a small lake near to the hotel and a very large lake within a short walking distance with a conservation lake adjoining. An ideal place to stay for a special occasion, for walkers or just for some peace and quiet. While here and though they still take bookings, we learned that the hotel is up for sale - so very sad as we so enjoyed our visit. Norwich and KingsLynn can be reached easily from here. Nearest train station is Thetford (20 approx min drive). Would definately recommend
