Relaxing stay.

Yet another lovely stay.Good to see the new owners renovating and upgrading the hotel. The installation of a new accessible toilet is very good to see. It would be nice to see some re-cycling facilities, rather than all rubbish going in the same bins in rooms.

We enjoyed a lovely quiet couple's getaway while we went to the Ed Sheeran concert in Ipswich. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel was very quiet and relaxing. The town centre is in walking distance and has some really nice and reasonably priced cafes. There is a short walk to a pebble beach and beautiful gardens.

Old elegant charm with contemporary refinements.

This hotel has all the character and history of a large old traditional hotel, but with a programme of constant upgrades. So the ensuite bathroom was magnificent. The bar, lounge, library and dining room had great luxurious character and we loved the outside palm tree area for drinking and relaxing

The hotel was a lovely period hotel. It was classy but its under refurbishment and the workers started about half 7 and you could hear them.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here for two nights and we were astounded how good the hotel was for the price that we paid. The room was ample size, spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed. The staff were all really friendly and welcoming. The food (both breakfast and dinner) were excellent and great value for money. We have already booked to return next year. Particular praise must go to the lady (I don't know her name) that served behind the bar, served the dinners and worked in the breakfast room in the morning. She was really friendly and she didn't stop working. Whatever they are paying her, it's not enough !

An enjoyable stay - hotel clearly mid renovation and some rooms in much better shape than others. Great, convenient location for town and a wander to the beach . Would love to stay again in a few months time once renovations are complete.

A nice hotel in general. Has a good car park my room was good. It could do with modernising as my room was outdated, but it was a very big room and a comfy bed.
