Whilst on business I usually book into Premier Inns for my overnight stays. However, the local Premier Inn was full when I tried to book. As my business was in Thetford I noticed the Bell Hotel, well I am glad I did. Reception was friendly and polite and the rooms had a quirky charm about them. I had a very... More

My wife and I stayed in the Bell Hotel in April for one night. The hotel is on one of the rivers running through the town so should have been a pleasant spot. We had a very large double room with a comfortable bed and an en-suite bathroom which was very generous. Clean pleasant and quiet. Breakfast was from 0730... More

The council have lots of plan in to bring Thetford to the standards of Bury St Edmunds and Kings Lynn. Hopefully these will all go ahead but in the surrounding area we have lots of lovely places...

We are an out of town couple who have stayed at the bell 3 times. We have been quite happy with our stays. The rooms and bathrooms are a little tired and need refurbishing but it doesn't affect our visit. There is a great choice at breakfast. The only negatives I have are the bar needs to be attended all... More

Stayed here for one night. Handy car parking and reception but disappointed that there was no provision for a breakfast for guests checking out before 07:30am. Seems a bit weak, given that most continental hotels now provide a self service breakfast for early risers. Main stair carpet and paintwork a bit shabby, but room - though small - was fine.... More

We have recently moved to the nearby area and only wanted to explore Thetford for one day and stay one night. The Bell is situated in the best, most central location and is absolutely perfect for any kind of visit. It's lucky to have a large car park, overlook the river, and be accessible to whatever you'd like to do... More
