A lovely stay. The Guiness is very good. We were over an hour early for breakfast, but chef still made us a fabulous sausage sandwich. Loved it.

We had such a lovely stay, we checked out this morning and the place was super clean, beds and pillows really comfortable and lots of coffee/teas in the room. We will definitely be staying again, super close to the town centre of Bury St Edmund’s, just a 15 min drive which was ideal for us! We paid for breakfast this morning which was really tasty and we didn’t have to trek far, just across from the room.

Weekend away

Such a beautiful place to stay especially during the Christmas period, the room we had was stunning, very cozy and the bed was comfortable. There was a good selection of teas and coffee. Pub/restaurant was really lovely the meal we had was delicious. Bury St Edmonds was only 20 minutes away, definitely a lovely place to visit.

Great hotel

The room was fantastic, the evening meal was lovely but the breakfast was disappointing. The sausage had no colour, the sautéed potatoes were really just boiled and sliced (not crispy at all) and the scrambled egg was sliceable!
