“Definately would go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

We loved this hotel, we went there to celebrate our ruby anniversary. Our room was spacious, you pay for what you get! did not like the last review because it put us off but thankfully we went and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel was very clean, the staff were very friendly and the food delicious especially the evening meals, yummy (Breakfast was just as good) . It is a small hotel but very unique the bar (easy to find) is small but mainly serves the restaurant (but you can still buy a drink). We found the room &, hotel very clean and the staff very accommodating. You can sit in the gardens which are quite large and peaceful. We would definately stay there again. Good for distance to Suffolk & Norfolk.

Room Tip: Ask for a large room

“Comfortable and Pleasant Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

An old 19th century house with lovely wooden staircase, mezzanine and panelling. I was well looked after by courteous and friendly staff. Breakfast was good, as was the evening meal, presented in a modern and flavoursome way. Though about a 10 minute drive from the Centre of Ipswich, it is well served by a local bus service and is very handy for the A14. I prefer interesting hotels which provide good services, rather than the usual impersonal other chains. Well done and hats off to the staff. Chapeaux!
