Lynford Hall Hotel

Have stayed here a few times been alright but not anymore not after that call Called up to get some guidance on the paddle boarding and wasn’t spoken too very nicely had no time to talk to me and rudely just hung up

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

Stopped on a walk as we used to do for a drink and a sandwich only to find now not open to non restaurants!! I’m not been funny the rude man on reception could easily run the bar as he was doing nothing and didn’t even ask if we would like a glass of water on a very hot day. Must loose so much business from walkers ….. Walked to the Crown in Mundford, lovely food, great beer good service.

Lynford Hall is a huge rambling hotel set in lovely parkland. If it's peace and quiet you want, you'll find it here. The rooms are large and comfortable and the place has an element of grandeur with splendid architecture, rambling courtyards and high ceilings everywhere. But it's also rather tired and slightly disfunctional. My shower didn't work and there was no plug in my washbasin. On changing rooms, the radiator wouldn't turn off and belted out full heat all night. It couldn't be fixed it so I just had to sleep with the window open. The rooms are never made up unless you ask them. Communications are hopeless. Wifi in the rooms is incredibly slow and unstable. It took nearly five hours to upload a 250mb file! I got no phone signal indoors and had to go into the grounds to make calls. On the plus side I found the staff friendly and helpful. The food is good, though the menu is limited. The whole place rather lacks a**osphere and has clearly seen better days. Not a bad place to stay though, as long as your expectations are not too high.

After getting all set for a big event, paying out for a lot already, they cancelled, not that bothered either, their attitude was how do you think I feel I’m a ….. co ordinator to be perfectly honest, I don’t care, it’s your job. But to see there still advertising everything that was booked makes me fuming. Don’t book no weddings they will cancel on you . They don’t realise how they mess things up, and then cause no end of stress all in all They have cost us a £1000 are they paying anything like hell are they. Joke . Then told me don’t make it public, well I don’t see why not know, still got the same website online . Nothing changed.

Nice enough and we were well looked after. Our room was rough around the edges, with a view over a site yard which had trucks running their engine below and smoke blowing in. Hotel was very quiet so service was minimal but good when accessible. No access to any of the grander rooms with views over the gardens.

Staff really friendly. Food good , room clean and spacious Great walks from hotel

Beautiful hotel within a country house in the forest. Fantastic location. Wonderful walking trails from the hotel. Courtyard was the set for Allo Allo! We had a wonderful time, nice large room. Lots of space for our toddler to run around. Friendly and attentive staff.

Lovely hotel, super, friendly service. From the point of view of a real 'Allo 'Allo fan brought back fond memories of a great comedy series. Lovely food too. Enjoyed walking through the forest on a beautiful warm evening.
