Excellent location. Had a lovely time here. We had a standard room that had everything we needed. Breakfast was exceptional! Ate in the restaurant one night for dinner and the food was great. Service was faultless too. Loved our stay.
United KingdomStayed in garden room, large room with terrace in garden, ideal in summer. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast superb with good selection of quality products, tuscan beans I will have those again.Good location for walking breaks.
United KingdomBreakfast was fine and what one would expect in a hotel restaturant
United KingdomThe staff were very welcoming and helpful. The evening meal and breakfast were both excellent. The room was lovely with a nice view of the castle. The bed was very comfortable.
United KingdomGreat staff, beautiful location very clean comfortable room.
United KingdomBreakfast was excellent, as was the service; indeed, the staff generally were charming and helpful. In the centre of Orford, a delightful, placid town, the hotel is well placed for walks, and for excursions into Suffolk. We frequently visit East Anglia, and will use the Crown and Castle as our base in the future.
United KingdomFirst visit to Orford, everything was excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food very good
United KingdomGreat location, big room and lots of hanging and storage space. Huge bed, staff very friendly. Generally clean and tidy.
United KingdomGreat hotel, friendly welcome. We had wonderful views of the harbour(?)from our room. The bar area looked cosy and welcoming, but we didn't linger as we went walking before dinner. Lovely outdoor seating area too. Breakfast was delicious, great choices and wonderful service. We would have no hesitation in returning should we be in the area. Thank you.
United KingdomThe breakfasts are good, room outside the main building large and staff fantastic, however we did not like the time allocations. When you pay £250 per night outside of a big City the accommodation needs to be 100% to justify the charge. Closer to £200 per night is a fair price for this location.
