Felixstowe has a really good promenade giving access from Langaurd Point to Old Felixstowe and beyond via a short beech walk to the Ferry Boat Inn. The prom also gives access to a good range of cafe, bar and eating establishments, the spa Pavilion being well worth a visit, the town itself is but a short walk from the pier and has a pleasant pedestrian only high street

Plenty of nice restaurants to choose from. High street has plenty of shops including quite a few independent shops. Plenty of things to do at the seafront where you can have a nice short or long stroll along the promenade

The promenade was really nice, plenty of entertainment plus free outdoor play areas including ping-pong tables!
The walk along the beach was very nice, right beside the golf links up to the Ferryboat Inn. Good food. but do book beforehand as it is very popular

Although the weather was less than kind, my stay was pleasant and comfortable. The Great Orwell Hotel was the ideal venue for my need to be near the centre of town and close to the seafront for a bracing morning walk.

Felixstowe has something for everyone.
Felixstowe has something for everyone. There is a great mix of shops - chains and independents. The beaches are clean with decent facilities and amusements. The Dock end has the fort and museum with the excellent cafe. The amusement arcades are generally clean and varied with fast foods between. The pier has the obligatory slot machines with a cafe and food kiosks near the leisure centre. Old Felixstowe has quieter beaches and a large carpark. The ferry end is quieter but charming.
What we don't enjoy...the bumpy, bouncy roads and the ban on motorhomes in most of the car parks.
The Orwell was recommended to me by a friend whose family come from Felixstowe and it couldn't have been a better recommendation! It's charming period decor and comfort surpassed my expectations. As soon as I walked in the hotel felt warm and friendly with a beautiful lounge to relax in and a great restaurant and bar area. Our double bedroom was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was such good quality. I was only in Felixstowe for one night but when I go back I will definitely be booking into The Orwell.
The hotel is tired and desperately in need of refurbishment- our room was freezing we asked if there was any additional heat - girl in reception said you should have an extra heater in the cupboard there wasn’t to which she replied oh we’ve run out then - bed too small - hit my knee on the wardrobe 3 times trying to access the bed . Basically an uncomfortable experience.
The Orwell is a grand building with memories of a once dazzling old hotel.
It is brilliantly situated for travel both train, being opposite the station and for car, on the edge of the main road. It is also great for strolling into town and down to the sea.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
It’s a good option for a stay in Felixstowe.
After being in such a bad hotel which I left with 3 days left. I booked this lovely place it was cosy, and the bed was really comfy. The view was great, and Donna was very nice.I didn't realise the tv only had bbc, iplayer, and your own netflix. I kept searching, and Donna explained as I thought it had gone wrong, just me, though, lol
Comfortable room, lovely lounge. There is a lift too so it is fine to be on the second floor.
Very good bar menu and the dinner in the dining room was delicious and excellent value.
We have stayed here before over several years and would recommend this hotel.
We really enjoyed our stay in this pleasantly presented flat close to the shops and beach. Felixstowe is a great little town, too.
Thanks very much to the owner for the thoughtful gift of bread, crisps and biccies on arrival.
The caravan was very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, bathroom and balcony area, there was everything you could need.
There were games and dvds to use which were very welcome.
All info was clear and helpful.
Breakfast very good .Dinner good with nice dining room. Staff brilliant
Hotel in good location to walk into shops and beach
Felixstowe spotless no rubbish anywhere
Excellent and helpful staff. Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The property is however dated and didn't meet my expectation of a Best Western hotel.
Beautiful apartment with nice partial view of the ocean. Easy walkability in great area for walks along the beach and near a park. Perfect for children.
