Top Dad's Army Museum Hotel Reviews

Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful stop over food was excellent will be coming back."

The Jockey Club Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel and staff and great location."

Park Farm Hotel & Leisure

8/10 Good

"Lovely setting and beautiful rooms. However. restaurant staff for breakfast weren’t very welcoming and the food was ok. With all the extras on top for the fitness centre and dinner it was a very expensive business trip considering you get more for your money in other hotels surrounding Norwich."

Best Western Heath Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff of the Heath court Best Western are Fabulous!! My room was super clean. The location is perfect."

Lamb Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"What an excellent weekend away we had at The Lamb Hotel in the centre of Ely right opposite the Cathedral. I booked three dinner bed & breakfast rooms for our friend’s 60th birthday surprise. Our rooms a-joined the car park and were comfortable clean and spacious. The included dinner was great, catered for our gluten free friend and there was plenty of choice. Breakfast was very very slow, taking well over an hour to get our cooked breakfast - which for us was ok but they do need to iron out this issue. Parking is limited on site, but we were able to park up ok which was a great advantage. All in all was a great value weekend break and will definitely return."

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, great location."

Oriental Garden Pod. Set in our gorgeous garden of bonsai, pagoda and koi pond.

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely pod in a beautiful garden. The pod itself was spotless Very quiet area. We had a very relaxed evening, making use of the hot tub and the garden. Hosts were really lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend "

Dragonfly Hotel Bury St Edmunds

8/10 Good

"Good hotel service and staff Bit out of town so need to get a cab / uber but free parking is a bonus"

The Three Blackbirds

8/10 Good

"Lovely place to stay near Newmarket, I had booked it because it offered rooms with baths. I was travelling with work and knew I wanted an early night and a bath. Hotels.com listed the available room as having the option of a bath so i requested it. To be fair the hotel never confirmed the request and i forgot to follow up. When i arrived in the afternoon I was given a room with a shower only , I asked if it was possible to change but unfortunately it wasn’t. Everything else about the stay was perfect, a couple of minor maintenance issues in the bathroom (dirty grout and mirror light not working) but otherwise spotless, comfy bed, quiet and staff couldn’t have been nicer. Food was good. I was disappointed that it wasn’t possible to have a bath in the room and would have booked somewhere else if I had known in advance. Might be a good idea to modify the hotels.com listing."
