The Crown Hotel The Crown Hotel Mundford is situated in the heart of Norfolk's Thetford Forest. Sitting opposite the village green, we offer an informal welcome to all, whether you are travelling on business or enjoying a more relaxing stay in the area. Dating back to 1652 the Crown has seen many guises over the centuries, in particular as a renowned hunting inn playing host to the local magistrates court.

What is particularly unusual for this part of the country is that the Crown is built into a hill, where you can equally walk in on ground floor level to the bars and to the first floor restaurant & garden.
Services
We have 40 rooms with well designed en-suite bathroom facilities, available for single, double or family occupancy. Our rooms extend around the main Hotel building, all offering their own individual character. Guests are free to make use of our Wi-Fi broadband connection facility. We have two holiday houses available, Clare House & Hannah House, prices available on request.
We have two restaurant dining areas, known as the old court restaurant and the club room. They are both laid to a high standard, with their own individual features and character. All menus are available, so you are free to choose the lightest dish or the most generous. We source our produce as locally as possible, but do stretch further a field for certain aspects, such as Scottish beef which comes from the award winning Aubrey Allen butchers.
We have two traditional bars, both offering their own individual styles and both with open fires. The Lounge Bar being a quieter more relaxed environment, with round tables and a spiral staircase whilst the Public Bar has a more active atmosphere. The Bars are recognised for selling quality real ales, i.e.
Clare House is set in six acres and is comprised of ten/twelve ensuite bedrooms which accompany The Crown Hotel's accommodation. Situated on the edge of the village of Ickburgh, it is approximately mile from the main hotel. If you would like to dine with us at The Crown or just enjoy a drink, we will happily taxi you to and from as you require, free of charge, so you don't have the worry of driving.

We stayed for one night and that was enough The room would benefit from a good deep clean and some money spent on it to bring it up to a good standard the duvets and pillows were so thin and cheep We had an evening meal which was nice but we ordered a lovely bottle of white wine which was served to us at room temperature in a cooler 30 mins before it was anywhere near drinkable also one of the 2 glasses brought to drink out of was filthy and had to ask for a clean one Breakfast was cold apart from the eggs and poor quality The staff were very friendly but bar staff were unorganised and forgetful Would not stay here again

We stopped at The Crown Hotel for lunch after a walk. It was delicious, the garden is beautiful and the service was fantastic. We will definitely visit again.

My Room was a little small and didn't have a mini fridge or microwave. The hotel staff was amazing, the city was tiny but felt homey and the people were amazing. Good area for great price.

Went for Sunday lunch. Accommodated 8 of us plus our dog at short notice. The staff were friendly & cheery, and, also working hard! This was a very busy Sunday lunch service for them but you wouldn't have known. Food delivered in a timely manner and delicious. Well done to all at The Crown!

Passed the place many times, or should I say passed the sign, but this time followed the lane and found a lovely pub and village. Only had time for a quick drink but the pub was busy and food was being served. Seemed to be full of locals.

We had a Boxing Day lunch here as a large family group with a baby. The food and drink selection, quantity and quality was excellent. The price was very reasonable. The decor was lovely and the atmosphere was very relaxing. It made for a very happy family occasion. Will definitely return.

Absolutely loved this place. Food, service everything was top notch. I stayed in the hotel for 1 night and the only negative for a business travel was no desk space to work if required. That aside you couldn't ask for anything else. One of the best nights sleep.

Bar, cosy lounge both with an open fire. Stairs to the restaurant or level from the beer garden. Good food and a selection of ale and lager and spirit, wines and friendly staff.

Lovely quiet location, nice ales in pub, lovely staff and food. Simple, clean, comfortable accommodation. Breakfast very nice, efficient service and warm and welcoming, to top it all reasonably priced.

Pretty poor all round I'm afraid. Only three beers on tap, and they all tasted like pipe cleaner. One of our starters went missing and the overall quality of the food was pretty dire. Not nice to make a fuss at the time when someone else is paying, but when you have all the above and then the overall bill is added up incorrectly, just a poor show all round. I'd go to the chippy over the road if I were you! One star reflects the fact I wouldn't go back.

We were delighted with "Swiss Cottage" - a charming period cottage we had for one night adjacent the pub/hotel. We had a great meal there in the evening and the breakfast service the next morning was spot on. Would love to visit again.
