We thought Hintlesham Hall was superb. Every member of staff that we came in contact with was friendly, helpful and eager to please. The accommodation was very clean and our room was well equipped with attention to detail. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and well presented. Afternoon tea was also a lovely experience. We enjoyed sitting in the pretty garden. We will definitely visit again!

Check in was very friendly and we were shown to a lovely big room on the front overlooking the driveway. The room was very hot with only a small fan to help circulate the air.
On closer inspection the bathroom was looking in need of a bit of freshening up. The silicone around the bath, shower and sink needed replacing and looked very grubby. There was a mixture of different tiles.
The restaurant was sold as being fine dining, for the price it should have been but it lacked seasoning and my fish was over cooked. We saw steaks being returned to the kitchen and over heard another guest complaining at reception the following morning.
The staff need more training the description of our bread was ‘ordinary’ with a herb butter. Rather than saying it was a warm speciality bread made by the chef.
Because of the choices on the menu and price we decided not to eat in the restaurant on our second night.
Breakfast was ok although there was nothing low fat. For medical reasons I needed a low fat option , I asked but they only had full fat yogurt and milk.

The room was lovely and spacious. The furniture was very traditional but you’d expect that at this type of property.
The room had a variety of teas and coffees . The home made biscuits were a great addition too .
Staff were amazing and made the stay more special due to their attentiveness.
All food was exceptional as was the service.
The only negative thing I can think of is that there isn’t much to do within walking distance.
The grounds were lovely but only took 10 minutes to walk around.

Hotel lovely, bar service needs improvement both evenings we had to wait ages for service then he would disappear again no atmosphere either and very expensive, then we were charged a fee for bringing our drinks to our table on top of service which we didn’t see at check out!
All other aspects of the hotel were good although very creaky floorboards but that cannot be helped in such an old building
Staff were very friendly
Doreen at breakfast was very friendly and kept everything ship shape
We upgraded to a premium room which was worth it with beautiful views and a very large room, mattress needs updating as dipped in the middle

Our two breakfasts in the glorious dinning hall were exceptional and both Doreen and Sorrel went above and beyond to make it such a special experience. Excellent service and friendliness. Our stay ended with another lovely lady on reception who helped us with our luggage to our car and waved us off.

I have rated Hintlesham 4 stars as the Hotel itself is stunning and the staff were very friendly and helpful but in my opinion the food really lets the place down. The restaurant itself is lovely, set in a beautiful room within the Hall and the menu read well but was hugely over priced and of a poor standard breakfast was a bit better but my eggs were cold which wasn’t great. So if I was rating the hotel and staff I would give 5 star rating but I would give the food a generous 2!

Relaxing and indulging

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel, situated in a remarkably quiet area, just a 30-minute drive from the historic town of Melford.
Our Large Principal Double, featuring exposed old beams and a dome-like ceiling, was tastefully decorated and had a generous, very comfortable bed. The service was both professional and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious and beautifully presented dinner and breakfast.

Best hotel in Suffolk

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty and charm of this hotel. Every detail feels exquisite, like stepping back in time in the most luxurious way. The service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and truly thoughtful.

The food was exceptional, with high-quality ingredients and beautifully prepared dishes. Our room was peaceful and quiet, the bed incredibly comfortable, and breakfast each morning was a real treat—absolutely delicious.

One of our favourite spots was the library, where we enjoyed playing games together in such a cosy atmosphere. We noticed they even light a fire there in the winter, which must be magical. We also took a romantic walk around the grounds, which were stunning and serene.

Honestly, we couldn’t fault a single thing. Every part of our stay was perfect. We can’t wait to come back.

Hintlesham Hall was an extravagance for us, but worth every penny. We stayed in a very large room in the stable block with a sofa and easy chair. The service in the hotel was excellent, attentive (but not too much!) Breakfasts were good and the dinners excellent - consistently good food across the menu - three of us ate three dinners and everything we chose was beautifully cooked and presented. The grounds are lovely, and it would be great to sit outside at a warmer time of year. There were several lovely rooms to sit indoors, though. The afternoon teas looked delicious, but as we had eaten so well at breakfast we enjoyed delicious tea and scones to tide us over until dinner. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Sadly expectation was not upheld

A beautiful period building in a beautiful location.
Furnishing and decor sympathetically in keeping with the period in history.

The welcome was warm and friendly.

The bedroom was well equipped and comfortable although the provision of toiletries was minimal for a stay of more than one day/night.
A hair dryer was provided but not situated conveniently to an electrical socket.

One of the radiators had been leaking making the carpet wet which not pleasant underfoot. When this was pointed out a space heater was placed in the room however this was non-functional.

In the dining room the dinner was, on the whole, tasty and beautifully presented.
When the waiting staff were asked specifics about the dishes they were ill-informed, saying either, 'I don't like the particular item' or, I don't know the composition' of certain dishes !

Items which had been ordered had been forgotten therefore the staff had to be reminded.

The halibut was overcooked and quite dry.

At breakfast the fruit was, disappointingly, not fresh.
The pancakes and scrambled eggs were barely warm, the eggs delivered swiftly as if it had been already cooked and held in that state. Also tasting as if produced from dried, or similar, egg. It was definitely not made from freshly cracked eggs.



One of the most delightful features of our stay was the wonderful gentle piano playing, by the lady in the entrance conservatory.

I am bound to say that, having read the rating, I was expecting more attention to detail.

We had a lovely stay. Gorgeous room, very elegant and extremely clean. Bed was very comfy, pillows too.
Dinner was delicious, a lovely evening with piano being played throughout. Breakfast lovely too and plenty of choice. The staff were helpful, friendly and professional at all times, made us feel very welcome, comfortable and nothing too
Much trouble. Would definitely stay again

Fantastic hotel.

Had a 1 night stay here for work purposes.
Hotel was really nice & clean throughout with friendly staff from arrival to check out.
The room i stayed in was a good size with a large ensuite bathroom, coffee machine & pods & a good sized comfy bed.
I didnt eat in the hotel so cant comment on the food but it did smell nice however i did have a drink in the lounge area which was again a nice comfortable place to sit & relax. Would happily stay here again should i be in the area again either for work or pleasure.

Mmmmm.

The hotel building is quite grand with some beautiful features however it is a little ‘post covid’ with tired decor, too few staff and neglected gardens.
The first small bedroom we were offered was decorated in full on vivid lilac, not a colour that appeals to everyone, certainly not us. We paid an extra £30 for a larger neutral colour room, with a tired very poorly designed bathroom.
Our afternoon tea was good and generous, however having booked, we didn’t seem to be expected, the service was rather slow. Breakfast was good, when it arrived.
This hotel seems to be trying to gain customers with its wedding packages and theme nights etc. but it all seems rather stuck in the 1980s. The customer service needs to improve. There are no lifts and many stairs and different floor levels so not suitable for anyone with disabilities. I don’t think we’d return.

An amazing find

What an amazing find, beautiful surroundings, friendly welcoming team, excellent food and service, everything you could need in the lovely room (especially liked the tea selection and biscuits!) lots of great areas and sitting rooms to sit and enjoy Hintlesham Hall. We can’t wait to visit again.

Hintlesham Hall Hotel

Nice hotel, clean. Breakfast was excellent.
Bathroom was a little dated, the shower flow was poor and temperature control inconsistent.
It was obvious from looking at the fire escape map and seeing inside other rooms where the door had been left open, that we were given a very basic room. The hotel was nearly empty, but despite the fact we were there for several nights, there was no generosity shown.
A word of warning. If you are given the \"Steamers\" or \"Carnival\" room, you will be above the reception and the entrance door slams with a loud bang on every arrival and departure. Fortunately for us the hotel did not have many guests.

Great stay at Hintlesham!

We had a lovely one night stay at the property. The food in the restaurant was spectacular both at dinner and breakfast. The staff are all so friendly and down to earth. We stayed in a principal double and the room was spacious, spotless and very quiet. We enjoyed it so much, we booked to stay again as soon as arrived home!

The person who gave it 4 stars did not stay in my room. The carpet was filthy, covered in stains and obvious dirt from time, not recently cleaned. There was a hardened biscuit stuck to one of the coffee cups. It came off when I scratched it. I have a picture. I left feedback and have not heard from them at all so posting this. A refund would be good as I was very disappointed for a 4 star rated hotel.

An excellent short stay Hotel


i am asked to give opinion of the Hintlesham Hall Hotel based upon a one night stay with my wife.
We were there for lunch on the 1st January but were unable to check in until after 3pm which is rather late especially when check out is no later than 11am. The lunch food and service was very good. Upon arrival to our Superior Room, which was nice and cosy, the heating was off and a small electric heater was in the room to compensate. Heating is timed with little consideration to the weather. There was a separate WC in the same hallway to the bathroom. The WC had no wash hand basin and to wash after going to the toilet and one has to go to the bathroom. I recommend upon the basis of hygiene that a hand basin be fitted in the separate WC. Certainly we would return to the Hotel for short breaks and will be lunching there on the 14th January with friends to celebrate my birthday so given the minimal criticism I would recommend the Hotel for it's welcoming charm, good food and excellent service. If we stay there again, which is very likely, I would favour an alternative room to Rialto and one similar to the room shown in the advertisement of Superior Rooms and facing to the front of the Hotel.

Staying here is a little taster of opulence, and to wander around the rooms is like a small tour of a stately home.
The only complaint we had was that it was overheated!

Lovely hotel with fantastic facilities and excellent staff. Dinner was delicious. However, it was very noisy all night with chairs being moved (possibly by the cleaning staff) so sadly I could not recommend this hotel (the noise was definitely not other guests and went from around 10pm until 5am on and off).

Weekend break with our dog.

We had a lovely.room in the stable.block as we had a dog. Ground floor eith outside space.
Breakfast had a good choice and freshly made hot food as well as a small buffet.
Lovely grounds.
Staff very accommodating as far as our dog was concerned. Ate breakfast in the lounge at a special table with the dog as main restaurant obviously does not allow them.
My only little comment would be that I feel a small bowl of crisps or nuts when you have a drink in the bar or on the terrace would be a nice touch. This is a 4 star hotel and I would expect this.

The property is wonderful with great grounds and beautiful setting.

However the hotel seems to be run on a skeleton staff which needs to be addressed. The staff do their best but with weddings, guests and dining room commitments the staff cannot cope.

Overall a good stay

Super nice!

Had a lovely time with the wife, every member of staff were so nice. Hotel was clean and well presented, dinner was fantastic. Overall had a nice quiet night away and not too far from home aswell!
The room was good, my only fault I could find was that the bed was too hard for my liking so I didn’t have the best sleep.

In light of that though I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

We have stayed here many times and we have never been disappointed. The outside area has been improved since our last stay with the deer walk and other areas being utilised more. We went for a daytime stroll and a late night stroll to see all the pretty lights.
As always the staff were amazing and they couod not be more accomodating.
We oted for food in the lounge bar this year and we were not disapponted. Excellent food and greeat portion sizes. I ioted for the larger salad and it was very filling.
I would say the only improvements that could be made is to provide or offer milk alternatives and biscuit alternatives in the rooms for those with allergies. Other than that small improvement, everything was perfect as always.

Ok but underwhelming

Room nice and clean. Rather small. No servicing whilst we were there(except when they coincidentally changed their laundry provider! ) Are all hotels still not servicing the rooms? A little disappointing in that one of the pleasant parts of a hotel stay is a nice fresh room each day. I don't require fresh bedding or towels each day but a tidy and bedmaking is nice. (They did warn us in advance) Virtually no tourist local information in rooms or generally. Bathroom v nice but shower hard to use and could be updated. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food ok but limited menu and breakfast buffet limited and not as advertised. At 8.45 hardly any fruit no ham/cheese. I'm sure would have provided if asked but! All together a pleasant stay but a little dull and underwhelming-and lots of extras to pay!
