We stayed in this hotel on our wedding night 25 years ago & have finally managed to re visit this wonderful hotel. Despite it having changed hands since our last visit I can still thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere combined with excellent service, surroundings & food. Not to mention a bar that serves Adnams beer... More

We chose this venue for our wedding on the strength of one lunch 6 months earlier, followed by an impromptu tour of the facility. We married on 25th May 2013 and the whole day was stress free and perfect not only for us, but for our family and friends alike. Michael, Nicky and the Black Lion team left us wanting... More

Whilst its situated on the green , and in easy walking distance of both halls and the shops, the rather dark and somewhat shabby impression of pseudo country house didn't really work for me on a bright sunny day. In the midst of winter with a roaring log fire, I would probably make an exception. Our room was probably one... More

Attended a wedding at this Hotel and was immediately won over by the friendly welcoming staff who insisted on showing us to our room and helping with bags etc. Room (Chablis) was large and richly decorated in a country house style. Comfortable 4 poster bed and large bathroom. The wedding was a huge success and Michael the manager orchestrated the... More

Checked in to this lovely small hotel last night. We were guided up the narrow stairwell to our room on the third floor past several large rocking horses, low ceilings and nicely appointed halls. Our room is very nice - soft colours, warmly decorated. Large bathroom and HUGE towels. Lots of water pressure and hot water - not common in... More

Staying at the Black Lion Hotel has been an absolute pleasure. The Service, Food, Rooms and Staff are second to none. A huge thank you to Nikki, Kaya and the whole team for bending over backwards to accommodate a crew with a hectic filming schedule... We could not be more grateful. A real tight team who are the cherry on... More

Wild, wacky, large rooms. Delicious, fresh, local food. But most of all friendly, efficient, and incredibly helpful staff. Would recommend to anyone coming to Suffolk. Particularly enjoyed the slow roast shin of beef.

Called here for a meal and can't think why. The waiter was rude from the start and I should have guessed at the nearly empty dining room as to what the experience was likely to be. The menu was limited and expensive so we expected food to reflect the price especially as we were hungry — it did not. The... More

Our daughter's wedding reception was recently held at the Black Lion. From the first day when we discussed possibilities with the Manager, Michael, to several days after the wedding when the final details were tied up, we received friendly help, advice and participation from all the staff. Part of the package was the use of all the bedrooms on the... More
