Janet May 26, 2025 08:44:53 PM
Summary: We were expecting a pod, but had a room round the back of the pub. Parking was easy. It was warm, and quiet. Staff very friendly. Breakfast good. In the room the tv looked precarious. The privacy blinds had been chewed by a dog and some bits were missing. The pillows were very poor( I always take my own) and the bed linen had not seen an iron. The towels were adequate and the water was hot but the shower hose needed a good clean with a nail brush. There was a small garden area with a picnic bench but the bench was rather rickety and there were a lot of big weeds in it. The twin beds were 2ft 6in each, rather small for adults but comfortable enough for a couple of nights. Perhaps I am just used to higher standards of comfort but a little investment and better housekeeping would be rewarded with more income for the owners.

Summary: Comfortable and easy
Alan Nov 25, 2024 04:08:57 PM
Summary: Staff were friendly and inviting but the property in itself could do with a real good clean and update, chalets were quite good up-to-date with nice bathroom but mattresses need to be looked at as not very supportive
Jennifer Nov 4, 2024 11:48:55 PM
Summary: We arrived early but checking in was no problem. Very nice people. Food was nice too. Unfortunately we weren't too hungry so didn't get to sample the wonderful breakfast we read about. But the poached eggs were perfect. We stayed in a cabin which had everything you need for a short stay. It was warm and the bed was comfortable. The only thing I would say is the basin in the shower room was so small and awkward to use when brushing your teeth. A small niggle. Shower was fine, and very large.

Summary: The full english breakfast was the nicest I have had in years. Staff are polite and helpful. Room looked exactly as it did in the picture, and was clean and quiet. The hotel provided shower soap also smelled amazing.

Summary: Very welcoming. Staff very helpful and friendly. Twin room small with limited storage but comfortable. Excellent breakfasts. We were there to visit Snape Maltings which was a short and easy drive away. Recommended and would stay there again.
