Great place
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Gina, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property is in the process of a major refurbishment. Whilst the dining facilities were not yet fully operational the potential looks fantastic.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Carl, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Check-in was easy (despite having completed online form beforehand). Room comfortable although bed mattress was far too soft for my liking.
Brynley, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved this old hotel. Staff great, public areas surprisingly grand, in good nick and very comfortable. Top of high street & short walk to beach. Nothing to complain about.

Hotel is in need of some renovation but seems they are doing that. Price reflects so good hotel for the money
matt, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The bath panel needs renewing, the whole room needs a good refurnish and paint. And no aircon aswell
Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Vicky, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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 It could do with modernising as my room was outdated, but it was a very big room and a comfy bed.

6/10 Okay

instant coffee, cold plates for hot food and a mouldy orange in the fruit bowl - all for £10.95!
Claire, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Things got off to a bad start - there was a problem with the booking, Expedia failed to sort it, we ended up in a room that was below the standard we booked and overall our expectations were not met. The hotel put all of the blame on Expedia and said they often have problems with Expedia bookings. Some things to note: None of the superior double rooms have a bathtub (contrary to the room description) and the room we were offered (202) was very small, having only a 4ft. 6in bed. and a shower cubicle. The room was certainly not big enough to fit in the sofa that was depicted in the photos on the room description. So to get a bathtub we had to accept a standard double room and our request for a refund of the price difference was refused. The dinner menu is a bit limited and basic, but okay if you are hungry and a bit tired to go out to get supper. Reviews of the buffet breakfast put us off trying it. There are some cafes nearby that serve good coffee.

elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

6/10 Okay

The bedroom had been refurbished. Very comfortable. The bathroom was very dated. The shower in particular was very slow. The staff were very helpful. The common areas were in the process being upgraded.
Dawn Louise, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location

Restaurant was closed throughout, so manager gave us free breakfast every day - excellent customer service. Hotel well located for bus stops and train station. Friendly staff. Only criticism is allowing smokers to cluster outside the front door - gives a very bad impression, and floor is strewn with cigarette butts.

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay,well situated, friendly Staff all nice and tidy,I will definitely go back there again!
Garry, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It's like staying in your own stately home

A Really Relaxing stay in a perfect location with everything accessible within 10 minutes walking time. Friendly and professional staff with excellent customer service and perfect training. Ideal for a short break or a longer stay in a nice, quiet location but within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance of sea front, high street, cinema, train station and bus routes. For the more able walkers and sightseers there are excellent coastal paths and country walk. It's like staying in your own stately home but with the added comfort of peace of mind.
