Amelia United States of America

The location was great. The staff lovely. We really like the pub. Having a fridge and microwave was an unexpected bonus. A good selection of hot drink options in the room, including a coffee machine. A really nice modern shower.

Clare United Kingdom

The room had it's own small coffee maker as well as a kettle. It was nicely furnished with a comfortable bed and a good shower in the bathroom.

Anne United Kingdom

Dani was an outstanding host, the Danish pastries were a wonder to behold, freshly made that morning! we have been to Denmark and her pastries were better than the danes can do! Lovely continental breakfast, nothing was too much trouble, the beers are awesome, room was perfect, we stayed there before and got the same room, short walk into town, 10 mins? We will be back! Thank you for a lovely day, evening, morning, perfect 61st birthday get away for the wife.

Lovely little place, really pleased we chose to stay here before continuing our travels to a friend's wedding. Nicely decorated room and nice extras eg the pod coffee machine. Breakfast was very nice and we were happily offered extra toast alongside our meals. A big thank you to the staff that accommodated our late arrival due to delayed trains.

The Brewery Rooms offer our bed and breakfast guests comfort and style in a warm, friendly and relaxed environment rounded off with a delicious Suffolk breakfast? for prices and offers see the stay page Each of our hotel rooms are ideally suited as a base location whilst visiting Bury St Edmunds or the surrounding area. We have six double rooms and one twin all offering en-suite shower rooms and all named after our beers. If you love real ale then you are in for a treat for we brew beer on site. Our unique, state-of-the-art, stainless steel brewing vessels are a stunning feature of the bar where we have been brewing since 1999. We've been brewing in the bar since 1999. Our beers are made from East Anglian grown and malted barley and choice English hops; and we brew once or twice a week, usually on a Monday or Wednesday when you can sit sipping the results whilst watching the next brew in the making! We always have our core beers Best Bitter 3.8%ABV and Gunner's Daughter 5.5%ABV available. These are complimented with one of our own seasonal beers such as Hornblower or Brass Monkey in the Spring; and Gunport Stout, Black Pig or St Edmund's Head in the Autumn/Winter.

A unique and historical brewery that is built directly in, above and below the main building. Superb food favourites and great beer with super comfy accommodation. A few minutes walk from the town centre the Old Cannon Brewery is the perfect location for visiting the historic town of Bury St. Edmunds.

Bury St Edmunds, with its surrounding countryside and villages, is a lovely place to visit at any time of the year. The recently restored Regency Theatre Royal, old Abbey Gardens and the new Millennium Tower on Bury's beautiful cathedral are some of the many highlights in this delightful and historic market town, plus we're a stone's throw from the lovely boutiques in St John's Street and the new shops in the town's old cattle market.
