I had made a mistake when booking the room, i booked a 'snug'. With two Golden Retrievers - a big mistake. Management were great and found us an outside room that was more suited. Loved the staff, other customers and the people in general. Felt the history.

Clean room, friendly and helpful staff. Very nice food. The room was tiny with no place to layout a small suitcase. The bathroom had no shelf space for toiletry bags. It's a nice place, but they need to work on storage space. We only had 2 very small cases and there was no where to lay them out except on the bed.

We had very little sleep on the first night of our stay as the bed was incredibly uncomfortable. We were moved to a different room on the second night and slept a little better. Overall we were disappointed with the rooms and the breakfast. The staff were pleasant and did try to help us when we spoke to them about the issues we had.

This property is a real find. It has character and it is reasonably priced for the service received. Breakfasts were great and reasonable choices for our 2 night dinner stay. Very close to a pebbly beach and not far from Southwold, Aldburagh, Norwich and the broads.

Check in was not good, we had booked a snug room as we have a dog, it had been described as a courtyard room, it was upstairs! When I questioned it the man said oh you booked through experience & he pulled a face. The bar man told us where to go for breakfast. Sink in our room filled up with water although the plug wasn’t in it .could have been a bit cleaner . Evening meal was very nice, breakfast was a bit hit & miss

We stayed as part of our honeymoon and I had requested a bottle of prosecco in the room prior to arrival (for £30) which did not happen. The room was ok (off the carpark) and food was good but the service from staff although friendly was very slow. The bar often didn't have anyone behind it (out the back in the kitchen) and once we'd finished our mains the plates were not collected and we gave up on trying to order a desert and then waited at the bar to settle our bill. Also, we waited to check out as there was nobody at the desk. It was a real shame as this hotel and restaurant has everything as it is in a perfect location with great walks and that's why we chose it for part of our honeymoon. Service and little details make a big difference and this hotel could easily move from being average to fantastic with a few minor tweaks and attention to detail !

A nice stay but a few things could’ve been improved. Food was lovely and staff were friendly. However they just don’t have enough staff so the service was really slow. The room wasn’t great for the money we paid either. It was overlooked a bit and next to the kitchen so outside was a bit scruffy. The toilet was broken too and my husband had to fix it. Parking was a bit of an issue too. When we arrived we couldn’t even get a space on the same road. Lovely location though as walkable to beach.
