Accommodation at Hockwold
Unfortunately, the limited rooms at Hockwold Hall are already booked for immediate family. However, we have provided a list of other accommodation options below. 

Accommodation Recommendations

Thetford
Thetford is the largest town in the area, a 20-25 min drive from Hockwold Hall. There are shops, pubs and restaurants alongside various accommodation options. Below is a link to the Travelodge in Thetford which is centrally located and will be the location of the bus pick up for those using the service. 

Travelodge Thetford
Located by the riverside in this historical market town on the edge of Thetford Forest Park.

Other locations
Brandon is the second largest town in the area but accommodation options are limited. Below is a list of accommodation options that have been provided by the venue. Please be aware that most of these are not located within Brandon but are in the surrounding areas. The Bridges Hotel will be the second pick-up location of the bus service. 
 
Hill House Bed and Breakfast, Feltwell
A friendly welcome awaits you at our bed and breakfast in Feltwell. Nestled in the Norfolk/Suffolk borders, we offer two en-suite rooms in our character property. Our rooms have flat screen TV’s, tea/coffee making facilities and you will be welcomed with a cream tea on arrival.

The Bridges Hotel
The Bridges Hotel, situated on a beautiful fresh water canal, offers quality accommodation in the Thetford Forest and Brecks area.

 The Bull at Barton Mills
The hotel and its dedicated owners simply radiate character, style and eccentric passion, which is infectious to all those who visit the hotel.  Think superior hotel service; funky and fresh within an amazing 500 year old coaching inn.

The Elveden Inn
Along with having comfortable, quality accommodation, Elveden is also noted to be a “world-class producer and purveyor of food excellence."

Bus Service

Complimentary service for guests who have travelled from afar!

A 51-seater coach will depart from the travelodge in Thetford at 1000 on the morning of the wedding. It will then drive to Brandon for the second pick-up at the Bridges Hotel at 1030. The coach will travel to Ashill Church in time for the ceremony and will then take you to Hockwold Hall. 

Guests will need to arrange their own travel from Hockwold Hall to their accommodation at the end of the evening, taxi numbers have been provided. 

Please let us know if you would like to use this service so that we have accounted for everyone on the day. We don't want to leave without you!
