Close to the town center and 0.2 miles from Felixstowe Railway Station, this Victorian hotel offers free parking for guests. The property was initially built for Lord Tollemarch. Today, the spacious public areas are wood-paneled. There are 58 rooms with attached bathroom, all of which are tastefully furnished. Westerfield’s Restaurant has an elegant atmosphere and offers both a table d’hôte and an à la carte menu. Felixstowe is an Edwardian resort and, like the hotel itself, it still retains much of its original charm. The town features beautiful south-facing gardens, many attractions, safe beaches and a paved promenade. The hotel is just a mile (1 mi) from the town’s port, and is approximately 30 miles from Harwich.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.
