3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2013

Advertised as 'Premier Accommodation' but regretfully far from it. Average room, bathroom facilities poor (antique hairdryer, shower needs replacing, lacking decent toiletries). Greeted very briefly by 'owner' who didn't appear that interested. Breakfast OK. Wouldn't stay here again. OVERPRICED!!

Old Thorn Barn is a very comfortable B&B. The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. The host is very friendly and breakfast is very good. We stayed over Christmas and found it a very relaxing place to stay. We slept well and enjoyed the country setting. We feel this is excellent value for money. We would definitely recommend this...

This has got to be one of the best B & B's I have ever stayed in, which was for two weeks while working in the area. Immaculate in every way. Great breakfasts, excellent sleep quality, good size room with space to work if need be, friendly welcome when you arrive, no faults at all.

A very clean & bright B&B about 8 miles outside of Norwich in a rural setting. Absolutely silent at night and with the very comfortable 5' double bed an excellent nights sleep. Breakfast is extensive; yoghurts, cereals, fruit, full English, various eggs, porridge etc. Very tasty, well presented and good service. Decor is very tasteful with a lounge area with... More

We have been staying at Old Thorn Barn for a few years now when visiting Lotus or Snetterton circuit. Danny is a great host - nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are very nicely done with big comfortable beds, and spotlessly clean. We have always been able to get early breakfasts, and at times he has organised lunch catering... More

We stayed at the Old Thorn Barn over the August Bank weekend and for me, ok being in a rural position helped, one of the quietist rooms I have ever had the pleasure of sleeping in. The reason I only gave it very good and not excellent is that they need to be more flexible in the breakfast times (07.30... More

I visited Lotus Cars and decide to stay the night locally. I could not have chosen a better place. Rooms were spacious, spotless and the staff friendly. Brakfast was also first class. Highly recommended

Stayed in a twin room here which was really clean, comfortable beds and pillows, nicely decorated. Breakfast was very good. Would recommend this b&b. Better parking signs would be good as we arrived in the rain at dusk and went to the wrong part by mistake much to the annoyance of the lady there.
