We got a cheap deal. Thank God. if I'd paid full price I'd probably sue. Firstly, check out the pictures of the Bell on their website. Shiny, bright, and beautiful? The reality is shabby and unloved. First, outside. The courtyard was filled with rubbish. The outside furniture was covered in bird droppings and peeling paint. The car park was so... More

We have just returned from a very pleasant weekend at the Bell Hotel in Thetford. The hotel is very well situated in the centre of Thetford and has a good size car park with easy access.

The bedroom decoration was a little 'tired' but spotlessly clean with crisp white linen and fluffy white towels. The room (in the newer part of the hotel) was a good... More
