Overall Ratings & Reviews The Jolly Sailor

great place.Only downside was bath instead of shower

Nice classic old pub stay.

👍

Very old but very nice and very helpfull stuff

Excellent pub with super comfy beds and great food. Breakfast was beautifully cooked with lovely locally smoked kippers. Evening meal was also superb. Staff all very accommodating and very friendly. Excellent Adnams ale. Don't pay to park opposite as you will be given a resident voucher to park for free by the landlord. Only minor downside was that there was a bath rather than a shower. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was small and poky, which for an old building is perhaps to be expected. Bed was comfy, bathroom was ok (bath only, no shower). Biggest problem was the cold - I was there in November and it was very cold outside, trouble was it was very cold in the room too, uncomfortably so. I was the only guest, there was one radiator in the room and one in the bathroom but both were woefully inadequate. Insulation is a challenge in old buildings I'm sure but more heat is needed, maybe an electric heater or similar as it really was bloody cold. Downstairs in the bar it was OK, with a log fire in the evenings. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was fine.

Lovely pub, great staff, only downside was the very low bed diffult to get up from if you have any joint issues

Property a little tired but very comfortable and clean.Chef excellent.Obliged with eatly breakfast and could not have been more helpful. A great advertisement for venue.

Lovely old pub, chosen as a 75th birthday stay after river cruise.. no broadside on tap, broadside bottles were out of date … (broadside on pump is birthday boy’s favourite) ..“landlady” rather abrupt.. no meals being served, kitchen closed … that said, room was fab, spacious and clean .. bed and bedding really nice… 5 🌟 given for sleep and a wonderful breakfast & breakfast gentleman was a star & very courteous.

Great pub with rooms. Chris the owner was so accommodating and helpful. Fantastic full English breakfast, comfortable big rooms and located by the harbour. Great range of ales as well. Would highly recommend.

Convenient place for stay in Orford. Quirky comfortable room in a wonky building.

The jolly sailor is a quirky building,, but nice I'm 75 and found the inside steps from the street and the staircase very challenging. If you are a little infirm choose somewhere else

Good breakfast, but wasn't happy with the accommodation or access to the room. Not anticipating a return visit.

Historic buildings well maintained. Attractive and comfortable.

Very pleasant, friendly pub with good food. Room comfortable, but decor a little tired.

Superb, I will be staying again! Accommodation Excellent, Staff brilliant, Food Superb

Good nights sleep

Very good

Rooms above a pub in a very old building, so it has uneven floor surfaces, low beamed ceilings etc. For anyone who loves this feeling of ancient mellowed beauty, this is a real treat, full of atmosphere and very lovely. Twenty steps from the little harbour, quiet and a balm for the soul. Breakfast on the simple side, but perfectly good.
