The food was outstanding, tasty, well presented and good proportions. The experience over was lovely. I found the roof height rather low and banged my head more than enough times on the low roof beams. There are signs all over saying watch your head, but when looking down to mis the beams and another even lower one comes up, well I must say, I had a head banging time :)

5 star staff!

We stayed here for one night whilst doing the National Road Rally on our motorbikes and arrived aching and soaking wet after 300 miles of rain.

Area - the pub is in a really quiet, lovely village.

Parking - Plenty of free parking on a gravel (but well compacted) car park opposite the pub.

Staff - Management seem to have got their recruitment spot on as every member of staff we came across from check in to serving food were so friendly, helpful and always had a smile!

Food - Both dinner and breakfast were great. I'm both gluten and dairy intolerant...they have a menu for both, so I had plenty of choice and they even have a separate gluten free fryer. I didn't get ill, so they must be pretty good at food segregation in the kitchen and the food even came out with little GF / DF flags which was very reassuring.

The room - this is where it went downhill a bit. Bathroom was great with a big bath with a shower over. Tea and coffee supplied in the room and even a bottle of water each. There was also a large standing fan in the room.
However, the room smelled like there was cigarette smoke in the fabric of the room (certainly not recent smoke, but like it was ingrained). All my clothes have had to go in the wash since I got home. The bed had a lovely topper on it, but the mattress was long past changing as it dipped really badly and gave us both a bad back.

If they sorted those two things, I'd have said it was the perfect stay.

A wonderful stay was had at this place which offers so much charm. My room had everything I needed and the shower was just right after a long day. Nearby are the Thornham Walks which provided a tranquil and very scenic route which covered over 4km so I got me steps in.
With the location being relatively remote, I decided on eating there and was not disappointed in the slightest. The three course meal was of a high quality but very reasonably priced, as was the breakfast the next morning.
The staff were all very courteous and helpful and made me fell very welcome

The best pub-hotel!

Delighted to stay here again. Landlord Tom and his team make this a very welcoming, friendly and relaxing place to stay and / or have a meal. Even though it’s popular and can be busy for meals I’ve never known it feel crowded or the staff less than cheerful and helpful. If your staying here there’s always a table for you but if not it’s probably best to book ahead. The rooms are comfortable and nicely kept (room 21 is our favourite), serviced each morning. The Four Horseshoes is a delightful old timber framed building in a quiet spot with country walks on the doorstep. There’s easy access to the A140, the nearby town of Eye is charming and Thornham Magna itself is well placed for exploring the Suffolk countryside and towns. All in all just about the best pub-hotel I know! Looking forward to visiting it again.

4 Horseshoes

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights while on a short break in Norfolk. The room (26) is fairly small and basic. Bed was a standard double that wasn't that comfortable for us although Im' sure others will find it perfectly OK. The shower was plenty powerful and warm but impossible to leave it in the wall fitting unless you stood at the far end of the bath and water went everyhwere so we just hand held it and washed that way (bizarre setup). The premises is a very old quaint english country inn which we liked but some parts could benefit from updating as you would expect from a building of it's age. the location is lovely and there was a very nice walk at Thornham Walks (2 minute drive).
The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed nice food at breakfast and evening meals while there.
There's absolutely no criticism of the staff or food and a rating of 3 out of 5 may seem a little harsh but I think it is mostly based on the fact it is meant to be a 4 star premises and I thought the level of comfort (shower and bed) was more of a three.
