4-star historic seafood bed and breakfast in Thursford
Award-Winning Seafood Dining
The Old Forge holds an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence, focusing on fresh seafood sourced from local fishermen at Blakeney and Wells. The restaurant offers a set menu with three courses at £27.50 and unique dishes such as lobster baked in its own juices. Guests can enjoy options for vegetarian and gluten-free diets, plus an on-site bar serving diverse meal choices.
Historic Accommodations
The bed and breakfast occupies a completely refurbished 15th-century building with traditional York Stone floors and historic decor. Rooms feature carpeted floors, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms, though space is compact due to the building's age. Free on-site parking and free Wi-Fi are available for all guests.

The hotel is an 8-minute walk from the Thursford Collection and a 4-minute drive from the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. Holkham Beach and Blakeney Point are within short driving distance for nature lovers exploring Norfolk's coastline. Norwich International Airport lies 37 km away, and Wells & Walsingham Light Railway is 7 km from the property.
Breakfast & Guest Services
A full English breakfast with locally sourced ingredients is served each morning, including warm dishes and local specialities. The restaurant caters to vegetarian and gluten-free diets during both breakfast and dinner service. Engaging interactions with the owner and chef are a noted part of the dining experience.
