We were so impressed with the standard of service we received - thanks to all the staff! We requested an early check in so that we could get changed in time for going to a wedding nearby, and nothing was a problem. The welcome we received each time we returned to the hotel was warm and genuine. The breakfast was delicious too. Again, it was no problem at all when we requested some vegan items. Nothing and no one could have been better!

Excellent hotel to stay at. Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable beds, well laid out breakfast. Only downside was no air-con on one of the hottest days but still slept ok. Please stop using the cheapest toilet paper available, it lowers the whole tone of an otherwise excellent hotel.

A good and convenient hotel.

I have stayed here before and found it well maintained, clean, comfortable and safe. On this visit the hotel did not disappoint either, though the bar staff left a lot to be desired, three chatting while you wait in an empty bar is not good. A big contrast to the young man on reception, welcoming, quick and efficient. Convenient for Ipswich, Felixstowe and even Bury St Edmund are a very easy drive

Great stay. Room was very nice. Bathroom was very midern and smart. Breakfast was good. Reception lady was lovely and helpful too. Only tiny observation is the sealed unit window in our room had blown-wooden frames so probably due an upgrade in due course- with no detriment to our stay of course though.
