Well Im surprised no one has yet reviewed this hotel. I stayed there last night…read more Staff were polite and attentive , room clean , of a good size , and comfortable (The bed wide enough for 3 people !) Wireless Internet worked in room, though it was one of the furthest away from reception. The downside was it was closer to the busy A14 so on a hot night I found it necessary to close the windows because of the noise, and sleep naked. I had booked a rate inclusive of Dinner at £100. The Table d'Hote is £25 for 2 courses, and of the 3/3/3 variety (3 choices each course), which I perused whilst drinking a pint of (surprisingly for this area) John Smiths. I could happily have order any of the dishes available that night but settled for Prawns in a filo pastry with garlic dip. They were delicious but were battered , not in filo ! I also was not offered a bread roll and butter despite ther being a side plate and knife. The lamb I selected for main was beautifully cooked to my liking (slightly pink in the middle and well done on the outside. Menu was that it would be served on a bed of mustard mash, but I requested it without mustard and it wasnt a problem (a minted mash would go well). Fresh veg were also served. I usually decline a dessert, but as I had paid for it anyway, the chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream and a 'straw' of white chocolate were a delight. Breakfast was buffet for the cold part, but the excellent hot breakfast served directly form the kitchen (none of that awful hot buffet stuff). Horror of horrors, butter was served in those infernal parcels, so you can't open them without greasing you finger ends. It was made worse by the butter being soft ! When its harder it comes out in one piece but this had to be scraped of the paper. All in all , a very acceptable hotel, they just need to pay attention to some smaller details , and it would be 5 star . I award 4 stars this time Tonight and tomorrow Im in two different Best Westerns at Frensham in Surrey and Christchurch in Hants (thought that ones an old favourite). I will review these also, interesting to compare them, asthey are similare in size and price.

Generally very professional staff ( they accomodated a part of twelve in a lovely beamed back room, including young children, with no fuss, and none of the we've-forgotten-about-you service you'd often encounter), although service at the bar was a bit haphazard ( although it was a Sunday afternoon, so probably best not harp on). Very well presented food; flavours tend to be fairly tame, but undoubtedly a crowd pleaser.

The focus on fresh, local products covers the menu and even shows in the Suffolk-made shampoo and soap in the inn's rooms. The waitstaff and management are cheery and helpful, and the wifi's complimentary. We've stayed in 3 of the 15 or so rooms and enjoyed the spacious and distinctively decorated accommodation. All rooms are upstairs and there's no lift, so heavy luggage is a pain in the 500+ year old hallways.

Just outside the lovely town of Bury St. Edmund's, it has a wonderfully old world ambience with wide open areas and ornate wood panelling. The pub and dining area make it a superb venue for special events. It is also a brilliant destination for a weekend away as well. Breakfast is also a real treat, as the Full English has some of the best cooked and crisp bacon seen in a while, along with an abundance of fruit juices. Last of all, and certainly not least, with the kind and welcoming staff, this venue is highly recommended on top of the warm setting.

The rooms are comfortable, spotlessly clean and thoughtfully furnished and equipped. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. The owners, Tim and Elizabeth, are very friendly and accommodating.

I can't recommend it highly enough, a real gem.
