    Little bit more attention to detail in rooms. Cobweb on bathroom window and behind head board. Room needed a chair too as only a stool or the bed to sit on.

    very nice and polite staff who worked hard. Very comfortable bed. Very nice food. a fan and some bottled water had been put in to the room as I arrived on a very hot day.

    No negative comments from me.

    The property is very quaint it’s old but definitely worth a visit! We booked a room as we were attending a wedding locally and just needed a bed for the night, the staff are all very friendly and welcoming it was very hot and the fan didn’t work properly however that is no reflection on the hotel as they can’t control the temperature! We arrived a little early and the lovely housekeeper rushed to get our room ready! Breakfast was included in our stay and was more than suffice there was cereal yogurt and hot food. All in all a pleasant stay and I would recommend and return if I were ever to come back to Ipswich!

    Room carpet was grubby, narrow bottleneck on road to car park to rear of hotel (may not be improveable).

    So easy to access from A140. The comfy beds, enough space in the room and bathroom, easy parking close to our room. Lovely old building, but much modernised, good food, friendly staff.

    Not worth the money.

    The place was soleless inside, no atmosphere., radio was quite loud in the bar area, not really appropriate for the type of hotel. The room was very basic, they did not service the room, we had to ask for more tea and coffee the next day even though we put the sign on the door to service the room. There was only one bedside lamp and one plug next to the dressing table which was in a very dark place in the room. The bathroom was very basic, fixtures and fittings needed replacing, shower curtain only fitted across half of the bath due to the sloping roof so the shower sprayed all over the floor make it very slippery. The window in the bathroom wouldn't close properly so you were on display to the outside world whilst having a shower. The hotel room wasn't worth the price we paid for it. The breakfast was extra and certainly not worth £10.95. The tea you had to get from a conference flask which tasted awful, the hotel ran out of some of the basics of the breakfast when Tesco's is only 10mins down the road, there was no fresh fruit and the bacon was really hard, you couldn't put your fork in it, very poor.

    Lovely old building and looked promising from the outside. The staff were friendly.

    The receptionist didn’t make eye contact when we arrived. She was filling out a form, she said hello but never looked up. I wasn’t sure if she was speaking to me initially. Barman was nice but obviously very short staffed as he was by himself and rushing around to do everything. Hotel room bathroom window didn’t close - not great with young child. Flies in room as window wouldn’t close. Beds were not comfortable. Hole through wall to corridor. Needs filling in. From bed all you can see is light through to corridor. Room was not air conditioned as it said in the description. No chocolate on arrival as stated, not an issue for us but it shouldn’t be listed in description. Flies all over restaurant for dinner and breakfast. No one was warm or interested.

    The hotel was close to Bressingham and had a large car park. Restaurant on site.
