Top Dad's Army Museum Hotel Reviews

Park Farm Hotel & Leisure

8/10 Good

"A really nice hotel for a special occasion, the staff were both friendly and helpful, while food was lovely. We stayed in the Boutique Suite, which was wonderful. The reason for 4 rather than 5 stars was because the jacuzzi bath had an issue with the plug, which meant we were not able to enjoy this as much as we would have liked due to the bath losing water. This was reported to reception. While the food was lovely, we were bombarded by flies in the restaurant, which was a bit annoying when you're trying to enjoy a nice meal. Other than that, we had a lovely stay and will happily return again in the near the future."

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed the stay"

Heritage Grange At Thurston

8/10 Good

"So glad to have visited this lovely property. We stayed in the garden rooms which were peaceful and spacious. Breakfast was nice too. The only downside was the smell of the lodge- if this would be a problem for you, maybe bring a glade plug in."

Lamb Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for one night, but wished we had stayed longer. All the staff were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. He dined at the Lamb in the evening and the food and service were excellent. There was plenty of choice for breakfast with a range of additional cooked options. We had great views from our room which was very quiet."
