Overall the hotel is very nice there are a few minor issues which i believe they should attend to the first being the entrance door, yes door. As the bag carrier in the family I found trying to navigate 2 weekend bags through a swing door then a single door which are basically on top of each other quite amusing... More

in Aldeburgh. but when I stayed there, last summer, I ordered oysters to start followed by dover sole. Chef said the oysters were not fit to serve and because it was busy they had run out of dover sole. This during their fish festival week. After complaining to the Hotel Manager, he took my name and room number, and did... More

We have just spent (mid-May) a three day break in Aldeburgh at the White Lion. We had one of the two top floor sea view rooms, which are to be recommended. But beware the lift only reaches the floor below, then a fairly steep flight of stairs. The service was excellent. The central heating is turned off in May and... More

These were a great disappointment. The food was lukewarm, the vegetable undercooked and the potatoes didn't arrive until we had almost finished.... More
