Lynford Hall Hotel

Lynford Hall is set in nice surrounding and close to the lovely village of Munford. The Hall and Grounds have seen grander days and would benefit from some TLC to return it to its former glory. Our room was situated in the former stable block, it was clean, well sized with large onsuite but could benefit from some updating. The staff were all very friendly, approachable and helpful. Plenty of choice at Breakfast which included pastries, cereal and cooked breakfast. We stayed Thursday evening so got a very good deal. My husband and I do intend to return and my pay more for our room/hotel if it was given some. TLC!

Basic room everything I needed, what I expected for what I paid - no frills.

This hotel could be amazing, unfortunately it needs investment. Upon arrival the facade looks impressive and certainly makes the right impression. This impression quickly changed when I reached my room, it appears that there is very little (if anything spent on upkeep). There was a big stain on the bedroom carpet. In the bathroom the towel rail was missing with just holes in the wall where it should have been, the same goes for a shelf in the bathroom. The bedside tables both had large crudely cut holes in the top that had obviously previously been used for lamps that had since been removed. At breakfast, I had to chase down someone to get some coffee and generally it seemed like us being there was an inconvenience to the dining room staff. Overall the hotel was clean and acceptable for a night, but very tired and falls well below the standards I expected from such an establishment. I’d like to think I was just unlucky, but the couple checking out in front of me in the queue had similar complaints....

This was a most beautiful country house and is in a good location for Thetford Forest and surrounding countryside. Sadly its all looking very tired now and, whilst the staff are lovely the grounds and surrounding area are fantastic, we just couldn't help to feel a little sad that a proud heritage now seemed to lack pride and belief in itself. The once beautiful gardens now look like the local authority maintains them. The room ( in the courtyard) was comfortable and clean enough but the bathroom had mould and a broken toilet and there seemed to be a number of flies which we just couldn't get rid of. Towels and complimentary tea and coffee facilities in room were good. Breakfast was reasonable and served in a nice old dining room. We were disappointed with the choice of meals in the restaurant. It was a very limited menu and the bar/restaurant was very formal and lacked atmosphere. We used a pub in the village instead. All in all it was a bit underwhelming, but , at the price we paid, better than a Travel Lodge …..although Travel Lodges tend not to have mouldy bathrooms.

First impression from the outside and also public areas was of high quality. Lady at reception explained that they had their own well for water supply so sometimes it looked cloudy when taps turned on but offered bottled water as alternative. Internet connection is bad in the area, not just the hotel. The actual room we stayed in had very thin walls so could hear TV and guests in the room next door. Room furnishings were tired and have seen better at budget places such as Travelodge. Staff polite and did their jobs but seemed to lack enthusiasm considering the hotel appears to promote high standards.. On a more positive note got a good rate for the room and the breakfast was excellent quality and variety. Overall, would stay again at the price and for the breakfast provided.

The venue was amazing, set in lovely, well kept grounds. The room was functional rather than glamorous with one major flaw. The bed was actually 2 beds put together, one was fine and the other was far too soft. Biggest problem was that the height of the two beds didnt match up and there was a gap between them which sort of killed the moment. That said the duty manager gave concession and seemed to take the complaint seriously. Overall a good stay but for the money I would have expected a little more comfort in the room

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. All the staff were very friendly. Excellent service in the bar and food was delicious. My daughter is gluten intolerant and there was no issue catering for her. Would highly recommend.

A beautiful period building, nice grounds, plenty of parking.

Beautiful building, quiet location, great breakfast.

Room was adequate however we were on the bottom floor and whenever someone above flushed the toilet or ran the shower it was really loud and woke us up
