The Old Thorn Barn - Rating 5/5
I have just recently visited The Old Thorn Barn and it was a very good experience. The house feels very warm as there is a lots of woodwork and it's also very comfortable. The owner offered a variety of breakfast and drink. The house is in a good location/close to Wymondham and not far away from Norwich. I really enjoyed quietness as the house is situated in a rural area. Thank you.

We were delighted to once again stay with Danny at The Old Thorn Barn. We run a motorsport at the Lotus Track which is just round the corner form The Barn and always stay there. We are always greeted as old friends and nothing is too much trouble. One of our party ws new to the trip and his comment was "you have class" as a reaction to then accommodation. With Danny's kind permission we used the dining room for our fish supper, which was a further prrof of the home form home feeing .I would recommend the Old Thorn Barn to everybody needing accommodation in this area

I've never stayed in a B&B by myself before but after seeing reviews of Old Thorn Barn I decided I'd try it.It was easy to find, beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. Spotlessly clean and well kept. The bed was comfy and cosy. The breakfast room is spacious. I opted for porridge and toast, a full English breakfast was offered.I was made to feel very welcome. I definitely recommend a stay especially if you want to step out of a busy life to have a quiet rest.

Rural but comfortable - Rating 4/5
Arrived slightly later than hoped but checked in with no real problems. I took a room in the 'outer block' which was cosy and had the necessary coffee/tea making available. Bed was ok and usual stuff catered for. Breakfast was very nice and served with a smile. The ONLY downside for me personally was no evening meal facilities meaning I had to drive out to find food. Would have been useful if I was fully au fait with the area but I did find something albeit a drive away. In consideration of this I'll mark accordingly.

Stayed here numerous times and have never found a better value for money B&B in the UK.Rooms are well equipped and spotlessly clean and there is a comprehensive, quality breakfast included in the room price. None of this pay at the hotel breakfast pricing that seems to have crept in from the Continent. What you see is what you get and what you get is better than hotels that charge double the price.

Nice room, noisy motor on power shower.- Rating 3/5
Room was clean and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was very good.Two things I would mention is the poor WiFi (in my room) but more importantly the noise of the power shower motor when my next door neighbour had a shower at 5.15 which consequently woke me up...and then again at 6am, by which point I gave up on sleep.I talked to the owner about this on my departure.

Our group of three recently stayed for two nights to attend a wedding in the area. We couldn't fault Old Thorn Barn - it was spotlessly clean, well priced and the lovely breakfast was a bonus. The beds were very comfy too! Noise travelled quite easily in the communal areas but it wouldn't put me off staying again - we just got unlucky and had a group of early risers staying at the same time! Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated having access to a fridge and the communal lounge area. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

We booked Old Thorn Barn on several recommendations from within the Lotus community, and were very happy with our choice. It is the nearest accommodation to the Lotus factory, where we had booked a factory tour. Danny and Carol were great hosts, very friendly and welcoming, but also respecting our privacy. The accommodation, in a small outbuilding, was excellent. Very clean and comfortable. A good selection of tea, coffee, and biscuits was available in the room, and we also had access to a small communal kitchen with a microwave and fridge - useful for snacks and keeping the wine chilled! We wouldn't hesitate to return in the future, and highly recommend the Old Thorn Barn.

Pleasant b&b - Rating 4/5
Had booked a single room for 1 night but was pleasantly surprised to find I'd been allocated a self contained studio (complete with small kitchen area and sitting area) in a converted barn. The novelty of this soon wore off when I realised there were no opening windows which meant the studio was stifling hot. There was a mobile air conditioning unit but that was very noisy. I had a fitful night's sleep due to the heat; I only discovered the next morning that a small oil filled radiator in the sitting area was switched on to maximum heat which explained to a certain extent the heat. Bathroom was very cramped (you could easily use the wash basin while sitting on the toilet) with an over complicated shower. The bathroom floor was made of roughly laid bare bricks (presumably for the rustic look) but not good for cleaning/hygiene purposes. Breakfast served in a pleasant room in an adjacent building was very good. To sum up this is a nice b&b with a few downsides

Another lovely stay - Rating 5/5
I consider The Old Thorn Barn my home away from home while I visit with family who live nearby in Mulbarton village. My room is very comfortable, and everything necessary for a relaxing stay is provided. The breakfasts are a delight, and the owner and his staff are always friendly and helpful.
