We arrived well before check-in with many bags, relocating to RAF Lakenheath from the US, utterly exhausted, and ready to just drop. The staff at The Crown welcomed us right away and showed us to a wonderful family room with 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, and even a little yard for our dog. Each morning we had delicious breakfast and many nights we ate in the pub. The food there was just amazing. That pavlova will be living in my brain for many years. We look forward to getting settled in the area and returning to The Crown for dinners and breakfasts and to touch base with the staff. Truly, I can't say enough about how kind everyone was to us and how lovely it was to be welcomed into this beautiful area with their smiles and explanations when I ask simple, but silly questions.

This is an old inn. It has quirks, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Please don't come here expecting it to be a Marriott. Nothing against a big chain--they can be great, but The Crown in Mundford is special for its people and the lovely old buildings. Don't change a thing at this inn besides just keeping her healthy and moving forward in time.

In a lovely location, and I called ahead as I was running late for a wedding I was attending due to heavy traffic. I had to check in after attending the wedding late around midnight and the proprietors were very accommodating!

They didn’t have the central heating on! I arrived late at night and the room was really cold! I had to wear my dressing gown in bed to keep warm. My room was outside and up the road from reception so I didn’t feel safe to walk down a dark road in the middle of the night to ask them to put it on, being a woman on her own. There was no telephone in the room either and my mobile signal was poor.

fabulous building/pub dating back to around 1650. The side bar is the old jail - and you can still see the ring hooks on the wall where people were anchored to ! Decent bar food menu, and there is also a great local chippy opposite which is a bit strange as there is nothing else in the village apart from a small shop.

This is a really busy pub. Even on Tuesday it was virtually full for eating - and they have loads of cubby hole rooms that seemed to spring up in all directions :) It did seem as if they were trying to keep up even with extra staff on hand for the Kitchen but we got served OK and the food was good, so its not really a negative

Top of the list is the staff. My son has complex disabilities and they could not do enough to support him. Also what an absolute privilege to stay in a hotel parts of which date back to 1650! The village is also interesting historically. As the building is complex there was few 'rooms' that form the restaurant...that worked well for us as we had a quite dining room. We did enjoy the hotel's quirkiness - we will definitely return as well place for exploring Norfolk.

More information on the history of the hotel would be special. There is plenty of parking but not clear on arrival.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, even though the bar was busy. Room was as advertised, clean and comfortable. Menu offered a good choice, with many of the dishes homemade. Service was prompt and the food was well presented and tasty.

There was no cooked breakfast because there were not enough guests staying overnight. . This was not mentioned when checking in, only when I went to breakfast in the morning. Although breakfast was included in the cost of the room, I would have been happy to have paid extra for a cooked breakfast.

Location is excellent, a beautiful village central for the Brecklands.

I’m used to camping and hosteling so I always think that prices in hotels & B&Bs are too high. Another thing - hotel rooms rarely have a comfortable chair. If you have a busy lifestyle, when it comes to taking a break, you want to be able to sit back and be comfortable. I had a lovely room, but the chair was too small , too upright, and uncomfortable. Having said that, there was a nice lounge for all downstairs.

This place is so quintessential English. Its just lovely. We had a dog with us and were really please to be shown into a ground floor room with french windows to a private enclosed garden for the dog. But more than that, the place was like an airbnb in so far it had its own kitchenette with fridge and microwave and little seated area for eating only someone else did the cleaning. There was also a spare bed. We were just a couple and a dog, but the room is very spacious and ample for a small family to stay comfortably. I honestly could live there. The staff were so lovely and friendly. I really liked how they employed a range of different people from the village, you could tell it was a real hub for the community. Its not posh or plush, its definitely a pub, but its just perfectly so. The breakfast was delicious and amazing value considering 2 x Egg on toast and coffee came to £30 in Castle Acre, so 2 full English and 2 coffee in with the price was amazing. The restaurant food was good and homecooked too. The village is lovely, there is a convenient co-op/ butchers/ deli down the road with everything you need, but the really great thing is, Thetford Forest and the Arboretum are just behind the property, literally a 5-10 min walk. On the photos I thought we were driving to the woods, but no, we just walked there really easily. We really really loved this stay. It was like a big cuddle

The bed could be a bit more sturdy :) The supporting middle leg doesn't sit properly on the riven tiles and so it swings a bit. The shower was a bit too hot and I couldn't really work out how to turn it down.

Characterful old hotel with friendly, welcoming staff. Lovely evening meal and breakfast using local produce. Clean room with small en-suite but fine for our one night stay. We would definitely return if we are in the area. We also enjoyed a walk around the village of Mundford.

There was only a blind at the window but curtains would have been better to keep the room dark overnight. Our room was next to the outer door and a soft close would have been welcome.

The hotel was very charming, the rooms spacious and very clean. the beds and bedding were high quality. It was lovely to have double size beds for single person use and they were extremely comfortable. We loved being in an annex slightly apart from the main hotel rooms, so peaceful! Breakfast was also excellent, good quality produce and cooked well. The waitress was really lovely and so kind to the children, making sure they chose exactly what they wanted so the whole experience was very relaxing.

We didn't have any evening meals at The Crown, mainly because they only started serving at 6.30 pm which was rather later than the children were used to, especially after a full day out. Some of the adults did enjoy a drink in the bar in the evening, but felt there wasn't a great selection of beer to choose from.

We've stayed at the Crown several times and the quality of our stay keeps bringing us back. This was the first time we were in this room and it was really nice to have a bath as well as a shower. The inn is over 300 years old but manages to combine just enough 'olde worlde' charm to be memorable with all the modern facilities you would expect to be really comfortable. As usual, the breakfast was excellent. I also recommend booking for dinner. We will be back next year.

Nothing really. The Crown is always comfortable and welcoming. I appreciate that they are having staffing difficulties at the moment - there were notices apologising that they wouldn't be able to make up all the rooms each day due to short staffing/recruitment issues - but this didn't cause us any problems. It is an industry-wide problem in hospitality at the moment.
