What guests loved the most

“Easy access to town centre”

, United Kingdom

“We have held our yacht club annual dinner at the hotel for several years and have always enjoyed staying at the hotel. For a large catered event the dinner was very good. Excellent selection for breakfast. The staff are always very helpful.”

, United Kingdom

“The room was most comfortable especially the bed, the bathroom toiletries were a pleasant surprise.”

, United Kingdom

“Staff very good. The hotel is faded glory but is still managing to provide a reasonable standard of stay. It just lacks a certain something. As stated the staff were very good, breakfast perfectly adequate but skimping on ingredients where dinner is concerned is...... a concern.”

, United Kingdom

“Easy parking (probably because nobody else seemed to be checked in) & cheapest we could find last minute after long haul flights etc but were expecting more from the hotel”

, United Kingdom

“Old style hotel with nice rooms and amenities, very good location in town center, perfect if you arrive by car since it is easy to find and there is a large private parking. Rooms ad bathrooms very clean.”

“Very large room, (#128) & overall ambiance of the 'public' areas downstairs beautiful & very atmospheric of a bygone age. Parking very convenient, staff very friendly & welcoming. In a great central location.”

, Australia

“We only stayed for two nights Bed and breakfast as we were visiting family in the past we have had breakfast included in the price but since new management they now charge extra for breakfast which we thought was a let down also no Suffolk brochure in the room which we always enjoyed , hope they don’t cut back anymore as we have always enjoyed our stays there . and hopefully will do so again in the near future”

, United Kingdom
