The property is in the process of a major refurbishment. Whilst the dining facilities were not yet fully operational the potential looks fantastic.

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.

First room offered was thick of stale cigar smells. I refused the room and was told no other room was available. I still refused it and another room was reluctantly provided. Staff were not attentive unhil I complained. Hotel was ok, but nothing special.

I’ve broken our stay down into bullet points; - Good Room. Spacious with TV, kettle, towels, fan! Shower gels and lotions. - Comfy beds! - Room was a good temperature - clean on the most part bar some carpet stains but that’s expected. - A little odor in the room but nothing too serious - Staff were friendly! - Breakfast was good- £10.95 per person for all you can eat buffet with good variety of food (full english, yoghurts, cereal, pastry etc) The food quality wasn’t the best however it was Great value for money! - The biggest issue we had was the bathroom. The toilet had a temperamental flush and the shower pressure was shocking. The shower came off the wall a few times too with water temperature difficult to get right. - Overall the stay was good! Great staff who were accommodating and good facilities bar the bathroom.

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

Check-in was easy (despite having completed online form beforehand). Room comfortable although bed mattress was far too soft for my liking.

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.

The property was undergoing a refurbishment during our visit so I can see that there will be improvements to the decor in the future, the room I stayed in 125 was in great condition and seemed to be one of the newer rooms, there was no evening dining on site during our stay due to kitchen refitting, we were provided with plates and cutlery for our takeaway, the staff were always attentive and helpful during our stay so I would return to the hotel in the future if in the area and would like to see the hotel after the refurbishment.

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.
