The White Lion Hotel  

We enjoyed our 2 day break with you very much the hotel was welcoming, warm and comfortable.

As my husband is partially disabled we found the step from bedroom to en-suite rather steep.

We like the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The whole place has a buzz about it.The decor and surroundings within the hotel is pleasing and the view of the sea front from inside to outside is unique. The hotel is on the door step of some beautiful walks along the beach with the added interest of the shell sculpture as well as having easy access to some peaceful marshy nature reserves. The evening meal and breakfast was immaculately served and absolutely delicious.

food in restaurant very good evening meal best prawn cocktail ever and breakfast good choices available beds very comfortable enjoyed stay at this hotel shame we picked worst weekend for weather ever.cocktails very good as well only slight moan was staff gave us desert menu then didnt come back to ask if we would like anything but was getting late so werent bothered too many cocktails. would stay again.

none really

I booked through booking.com and got a great rate of £86 which was excellent considering how lovely the hotel was. The food was superb too and at £10.50 set menu an absolute bargain. Rooms were really comfortable and clean, hotel was warm, really nicely furnished and decorated and staff were excellent - particularly the young, blonde English lady who was working at dinner and served our breakfast. Really superb - will definitely be taking my boyfriend for a weekend stay as I tool my dad for his birthday present on this occasion.

I particularly liked the friendliness of the staff - and the fact they were willing to help in every possible way. The hotel has a very nice atmosphere. We only stayed one night and were out for dinner but breakfast the next morning was first-class.

Too many stairs! (but that's only a minor gripe)

Ideal position, good quality non chain hotel with a relaxed atmosphere

Parking not easy at all times

From the moment that we arrived I found the staff to be very attentive and friendly. As a regular weekend hotel user I was very impressed with all aspects of our stay.

Excellent staff who seemed very focused on customer satisfaction. Great location onto the beach and close to the centre of town. Food good value .

Smallish room with too much furniture. Hot water extremely hot !

We received a very warm welcome, the hotel had a cosy feel with a touch of the luxurious.Its situation is perfect with beach and sea views also incorporating 'fish shacks' and fishing boats adding context to the whole Aldeburgh feel. The restaurant offered a good and reasonably priced menu, only slight dissappointment, the mussels were sold out! Would recomend for inpromptu special occassions!

Fantastic location opposite the beach and surrounded by beautiful countryside. Food and service were excellent.

Only minor comments, but the tables/ chairs in the dining room looked particularly cheap ( veneered wood) and the lighting in the dining room in the evening was too bright, giving it more of a cafe feel, than a cosy restaurant feel.

We really enjoyed our short stay at the White Lion. Inland room was simple but fine and staff very helpful. Dinner in the brasserie was excellent as was breakfast. This place is managed by people who are keen to ensure guests enjoy their stay. Recommended.

Lovely old hotel near the beach in Aldeburgh, with free parking opposite reception. The reception was friendly and efficient. The breakfast was very good and with plenty of variety, served by the staff - who were also very friendly and efficient.

Our room was a long way from reception, up and down several flights of steps, and it overlooked a wall which was very close to the building. Whilst we didn't expect a seaview, the room was quite small, so this added to a rather claustrophobic feeling in the room. The advertised free WiFi wasn't working, though no-one advised us until we were leaving and I asked if it was because we were so far from the reception....apparently everyone had been having problems. None of these issues was a big problem, but it wasn't cheap in March for b&b for two. The cost of the location, I guess....
