A good stay with friendly manager and staff who made our short stay enjoyable.

It is a lovely hotel good food and restaurant great bar. Parking just around the corner.

They were having work done with builders around it was noisy but you can see it will be lovely when completed. The staff explained and apologetic about the noise.

The hotel is recently renovated and is very comfortable and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay there.

The staff were all really friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they provided early breakfast for me on my check out day.

It was unusually hot on one of the days I was there so a ceiling fan in the room would have helped.

A Gem of a Hotel Between Framlingham and Southwold

Staff really friendly, especially Matthew who went out of his way for us and even found us a car parking space. Charmingly decorated room, high and comfortable bed, large bathroom, brilliantly clean, larger than expected room, lots of plug sockets, water as well as tea and coffee, biscuits! Stayed in Room 2, Walberswick.

A delightful hotel with staff that went the extra mile to make our stay memorable

Room nicely decorated and comfortable. Breakfast excellent. All staff very friendly and extremely responsive to every request.

Parking off site but very close (and free). Shower controls and soap dispensers some distance from shower head. (These are very minor nitpicking issues)

A little pricey but I had a double room - maybe if more single rooms were available that would be more cost effective

Hotel is under new ownership and has had a refurb. My room was freshly done, spotless, spacious, with a large comfy bed. I had dinner in the restaurant, which was busy (Thursday evening), and the food was excellent.

A fabulous hotel

A fantastic hotel! Matt and Eleanor were so welcoming. A lovely family atmosphere. Delicious breakfast with fresh locally sourced produce. We had dinner in the restaurant too. Highly recommend the fish and the sticky toffee pudding!

Everything was perfect for us.

Pleasant

Food at the restaurant was lovely and staff were really friendly

We stayed in room 8 which was a fire exit. This in itself was OK but the fire exit light within the room is so bright I found myself unable to sleep well.

Really disappointing. So far from home we had no choice but to stay. I could not recommend this hote

Breakfast ok although strange not to have side plates provided. Had two meals; one was lovely but second was basic. Different chef? Hotel looked unkempt - dead flowers, dirty windows. Asked to change rooms as first offer appalling. Bathroom basic. No heating. Inconsistent patterns from staff. Pleasant enough people but they seemed bemused most of the time. Definitely would not return and feel we paid a lot for so little.

Everything.

Very happy and comfortable stay with good food.

The food was of a really good quality with a wide menu created by an experience chef. We stayed four nights and wanted to try as many of the starters, mains and desserts as we could. None disappointed. Breakfast was excellent and generous with beautiful fresh fruit salad each day. The service was excellent. The staff were helpful and friendly. It is a busy local pub as well as a hotel but the staff were calm despite many demands.

This is an old building and we believe that refurbishment is taking place. Our room was spacious and comfortable with two easy chairs to relax in but the fittings especially in the bathroom were tired.

Good service & food, excellent breakfast, hotel and rooms looked a little tired.

Excellent breakfast and service

Unable to get seat in the bar for pre dinner drink. Staff poorly dressed in leggings and tee shirt, difficult to know who were staff and who were visitors to the bar. Looked unprofessional, despite being friendly, helpful and competent.

The owners need to redecorate and replace all the carpets. Staff did their best despite this.

Staff did their best to resolve our complaint.

The hotel certainly didi not live up to our expectations or the rating given on booking.com. The decor and carpets were dirty, the lobby and stair carpet smelt of fried fat and the rooms smelt musty. The first room we were offered was dingy and smelt stale.

Convenient location and comfortable facilities for our planned activities.

Room was as expected. Check in and check out were smooth. Good location with parking nearby.

Disappointed on arrival in the afternoon to ask for information about the scones and cakes advertised in reception only to be told that they weren't available until after 5pm as there was "no chef on duty". Either don't advertise scones and cakes or make sure that there is a selection available. It doesn't need a chef to be present.
