to get started.

We stayed four nights. The hotel is well placed for visiting Suffolk and East Anglia. The room was very comfortable, as was the bed. We ate our evening meal here and the food was good and excellent value for money. Being a pub-cum-hotel, it was possible to sit in the bar/restaurant to relax, read a book and have a drink. The staff were attentive, helpful and friendly.

I attended a one day course that was run on hotel premises, so I couldn't have found a closer place to stay. The room accommodation was far superior to other 'pub hotels' I have used previously.

Excellent service in the restaurant and reception, very accommodating for any requests and the rooms were far larger than I was expecting.

The wi fi did not work the day before i left nor on day of leaving, I mentioned it twice ,not as a complaint but as observation,i did not need it at the time . i was told it had not been an issue to any one else , but i had two machines a ipad and a new tablet , both did not log on , yet when i got down the road to diss supermarket lo i recieved my 9 emails and 5 messages.and face book chatter. Do not like to be made to feel it is my or my equipments fault when it is not. Especialy as a loyal returning client .
This was a extension stay , i changed rooms .6 to 9 Great staff as always , Clean , goid car park. A smaller but higher bed was more comfy to my taste And room away from delivery path to kitchen store area makes it quiet in early mornings.

Having trawled the Internet for hours to book a hotel with no possibility of being in the roof eaves, and with all pictures showing large annexe rooms, I was a little disappointed to find that was exactly the small room I was allocated. My views were of a roof one way and a tree the other, making it very dark and claustrophobic indeed. We left after one night.
The attentive and very helpful staff, without exception. A problem with our evening meal was promptly dealt with. The choice of food at breakfast was extremely good, with cooked breakfasts arriving fast, hot and freshly cooked. The bed was comfortable, and the modern bathroom was huge and spotless.
