Our room and the hotel were very good and comfortable. The food menus and descriptions were excellent but the food was very poor and didn’t come up to expectations from the menu, or the price- very disappointing.

Great stay at Hintlesham!

We had a lovely one night stay at the property. The food in the restaurant was spectacular both at dinner and breakfast. The staff are all so friendly and down to earth. We stayed in a principal double and the room was spacious, spotless and very quiet. We enjoyed it so much, we booked to stay again as soon as arrived home!

The property is wonderful with great grounds and beautiful setting. However the hotel seems to be run on a skeleton staff which needs to be addressed. The staff do their best but with weddings, guests and dining room commitments the staff cannot cope. Overall a good stay

Fantastic hotel.

Had a 1 night stay here for work purposes. Hotel was really nice & clean throughout with friendly staff from arrival to check out. The room i stayed in was a good size with a large ensuite bathroom, coffee machine & pods & a good sized comfy bed. I didnt eat in the hotel so cant comment on the food but it did smell nice however i did have a drink in the lounge area which was again a nice comfortable place to sit & relax. Would happily stay here again should i be in the area again either for work or pleasure.

Hintlesham Hall was an extravagance for us, but worth every penny. We stayed in a very large room in the stable block with a sofa and easy chair. The service in the hotel was excellent, attentive (but not too much!) Breakfasts were good and the dinners excellent - consistently good food across the menu - three of us ate three dinners and everything we chose was beautifully cooked and presented. The grounds are lovely, and it would be great to sit outside at a warmer time of year. There were several lovely rooms to sit indoors, though. The afternoon teas looked delicious, but as we had eaten so well at breakfast we enjoyed delicious tea and scones to tide us over until dinner. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Very comfortable room & bed. Superb meals in the elegant Carrier drawing room. Slight downside in that we were kept waiting to sign in. Disappointing that mostly the flowers on display were artificial, despite having a cut-flower garden outside.

We had a lovely 2 day stay. Greeted by the delightful Megan on reception who looked after us beautifully. Our room was very nice and comfortable. Our two breakfasts in the glorious dinning hall were exceptional and both Doreen and Sorrel went above and beyond to make it such a special experience. Excellent service and friendliness. Our stay ended with another lovely lady on reception who helped us with our luggage to our car and waved us off. We had a great stay and can highly recommend anyone who wants a lovely tranquil stay and to be thoroughly spoilt in beautiful surroundings to stay at Hintlesham Hall.

I have rated Hintlesham 4 stars as the Hotel itself is stunning and the staff were very friendly and helpful but in my opinion the food really lets the place down. The restaurant itself is lovely, set in a beautiful room within the Hall and the menu read well but was hugely over priced and of a poor standard breakfast was a bit better but my eggs were cold which wasn’t great. So if I was rating the hotel and staff I would give 5 star rating but I would give the food a generous 2!
