’The Country Hotel on The Edge of Town. ’ Situated 3 mins walk from town centre and 10 mins from race course. Enjoy the warmth of our family run hotel, with a games room and waterside restaurant. Ideally located for Thursford. There can be few town centre hotels that enjoy a setting such as ours. The crystal clear water of the River Wensum passes the hotel’s front terrace, and a stream passes through the rear garden, sets a nice scene for family fishing. Yet the market town of Fakenham is just three minutes walk away.
