8/10 Very good

Great Hotel in a beautiful area of Suffolk. My kids both took bikes and loved cycling all around the grounds. The restaurant is super expensive for average food and I did not enjoy having a service charge added to my bill. I will be staying at the hotel again though. It’s a great family weekend break.

Delightful in every way

Wonderful hotel, staff, and food. Very friendly service. Great food for dinner and breakfast. Even reasonably priced. Walking the grounds in the morning before day visitors arrive was incredibly scenic and relaxing. Room was very comfortable and well appointed (appreciate Nespresso machine!)
