We love the Pheasant! set in lovely countryside - we felt really at home, Diana and her staff looked after our every request - the breakfast was delicious and served with care and attention. This is a very special place that has the feeling of a being welcomed as family - no surprise that we will be visiting again soon.

Gorgeous location in a quiet Suffolk Village. The building was beautiful and ideally decorated. We didn't use the restaurant but the menu looked good (we were meeting friends elsewhere). Bar was well stocked and staff very helpful. We upgraded and had a beautiful and large room. Bathroom was a little less decadent than the rest of the hotel but clean enough. We used our own toiletries but good to see environmental impact was thought about. TV was odd and difficult to use - usual channels didn't seem available and if we tried Netflix or any of the other apps, none of them worked, so we turned it off and just had music playing on our phones. Comfy bed, and tea/coffee available, so all good. We loved it.
*worth mentioning that had we paid full price I would have felt it a little expensive, but I had a Booking.com credit and so actually it felt like a bargain.

Lovely old house; great location; helpful and attentive hosts. The breakfast was good--with lots of moving parts--cereal and fruit; yogurts; breads; and the full English fry-up. The big hit here is the house, which is a beautiful half-timbered. early modern place. Our room was up some stairs and down a corridor but off by itself and quiet with a nice view of the sprawling well-tended garden.
Clearly a lot of attention has gone into anticipating what guests might need and providing it--for example, toothpicks on the table. Everything seemed meticulously organized in support of visitors.
Quiet, peaceful location. Lovely villages nearby, plenty of pretty places to explore.Good location for a relaxing getaway. Nice restaurant onsite. The Pheasant is a characterful cozy pub with a good selection of drinks.

The lovely quiet remote surroundings, the friendliness of the staff. Could have had a bit more variation on the menu and there was a lack of closet space in the room. However, they were minor things compared to the e enjoyable stay

Very rural and peaceful as required..
Very rural and peaceful as required.. A hard copy map is beneficial as the sat nav was unreliable. Lovely scenery, but be prepared to travel approximately an hour to visit places of interest. Great walks available. No other places to eat around except The Pheasant.

Rural, peaceful, with a great 'pub with rooms'.
Rural, peaceful, with a great 'pub with rooms'. What's not to like? A reminder of the pleasing diversity of Essex - the beautiful and relaxing countryside a contrast with the busy energy of the more populated towns, especially those in the south of the county.
The landlady was wonderful and made us feel so much at home in this amazing hotel. The rooms were superb and the morning view was spectacular. The Pheasant is highly recommended and if in the area we’ll definitely try to stay there again
A very warm welcome, the room was finished really well (to hotel standards). We had a fantastic soup and burger for luch, the home made chips were excellent! The view from our room was lovely too, overlooking the fields at the back.
Staff is really friendly. The hotel is in the countryside, nice area. Good size room with separate couch/TV area. Large bathroom. Food was OK. Nice outside area for drinking and dining.
