What a delightful place to stay for a short break in the Suffolk borders! Beautiful spacious rooms and first class restaurant food at dinner to complement the generous breakfast options.

The staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised how good the value for money was and we belatedly realised this is part of the same group as another of our favourites, The Maltings in Weybourne..

We are already planning a return visit in the near future it was so delightful.

Thank you to all the staff for making our stay wonderful.

Perfect stay
Accommodation was very clean and a good size room. We also bought our dog with us and a dog bed, towel and bowl with a treat for him was provided in our room which was a lovely touch to our stay.
We had a lovely evening meal also one of the best we have had in a long time and lots of choice for a quality breakfast.
We will be returning as from the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and very professional and helped make our stay perfect.

Won't hurry back

Very underwhelming considering what we paid. Issues with heating when arrived, were resolved within an hour. Initial booking was showing as single occupier, had phoned / emailed with an update to make it 2 people but had not been picked up. Breakfast selection was very limited, table half empty, initially no pastries, Juices etc and had to wait 45 minutes for a cooked breakfast.

We arrived at the hotel in the middle of storm Henk which was quite stressful but the staff were very welcoming. 15 mins later the whole village lost power. Although we weren’t able to get a cooked meal they produced a delicious charcuterie board by candlelight. The staff were upbeat despite the situation. The room was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.

Great food great stay, great staff

A real pleasure to stay here and can’t recommend it enough. Staff were great, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We ate twice in the pub and both times the food was excellent. The room was clean and modern reflecting the standard evident throughout the whole operation. We’d not been away for a while so this was a pleasant change and it was well worth the wait. It’s in a pleasant Suffolk village which borders on the idyllic so if you’re looking to chill out, this is the place.

The hotel has been beautifully refurbished - there were some issues with service being very slow and at checkin the member of staff was unsure where the rooms were located. None of it was particularly problematic and it is a nice hotel in a beautiful location with excellent food.
