My second time here. Really nice room, good shower, comfy bed. The pub is great, really busy and good food. I’d recommend booking a table and the braised beef pie.

I found it hard to cope with the external noise. The trains passed more frequently than I anticipated and often traffic queued back from the crossing and was on the road outside the room. When the vehicle was a truck, it was quite difficult to ignore. Having said all this, the clue is in the name of the inn and I guess I should have stayed elsewhere, in view of my constitution. There probably are quieter rooms too.

I thought the room was really nice. Lots of attention to detail. Nice branded shampoo and conditioner. Decent choice of continental breakfast options, with some items in the room already.

I found the bed was too firm, and the trains intruded too much at night,

Decent range of complimentary drinks and snacks/breakfast . Large room, and good size bathroom.

The bedding and pillows were a bit lumpy It was a hot weekend and only 1 window could be opened There wasn't a blind on the bathroom window so when you got out of the shower you could be seen from the beer garden

The staff were friendly and helpful

There was noise probably from a kitchen extractor fan that was disturbing until it was shut off. The vanity bowl plug mechanism did not work making the plug difficult to remove.

It met our requirements as well as offering complimentary cold breakfast supplies.

Too near railway line. Trains ran throughout the night which disrupted our sleep.

Great value for money with continental breakfast included. Lovely restaurant. Good food.

Something seems to have changed with the WiFi. Previously, the Wifi has been good. On this occasion, it was weak - I could not connect to send emails etc.

The stairs to the room were steep for us, as we are over 74 years old. The noise from the railway was quite loud which made it a little difficult to get off to sleep.

Clean room and shower room especially.

Stayed in July 2023

staff quite rude. Waiting for check in, menu not got many choices. the noise at night

parking fine and nice little bar, clean room

Stayed in July 2023

very hot in the room: ventilation outlet from kitchens close to our window....Bedsprings rather intrusive, bathroom shower doors on the way out.

Downstairs was very smart, upstairs much less. Excellent reception by helpful staff. Breakfast things available in the room: very convenient. Good parking facilities. Railway absolutely not intrusive; few trains, quite quiet.

Disappointed to discover that despite great reviews on food if we wanted to eat it had to be at 5.45pm and finish by 6.30pm because whole pub was being used for quiz night. No prior warning. So we had to go out to eat. On return there was nowhere to sit so we went to our room. Then the music round for the quiz started at 9.45! Complimentary breakfast cereals/porridge were supplied on table outside room. But you had to take them back in to bedroom to eat and make coffee. No toast and fresh coffee as I’d hoped. We left at 8.00 and got breakfast en route. So I can’t recommend and have no plans to return.

proximity to Ipswich

Bed needs to be renewed!! Mattress was very lumpy, springs sticking into your body and twanged every time you moved. Bed creaked every time you moved. I did complain, and they did tell me I was not the first to comment, and the bed was scheduled to be replaced. True or not who knows but I really hope so as this really let the establishment down.

Very clean. Staff very friendly and welcoming, room suitable for our needs. Lovely little village pub/restaurant/hotel

Bad night due to bluebottles On getting to our room, we noticed a bluebottle. Having waved it out we then had a succession of more. Called for help and Inn's colleague started to use hand held hoover to collect flying and dead bluebottles. He gave us a can of fly spray which we used before leaving for the evening to meet up with friends. On returning late, all seemed fine. However, overnight we had more bluebottles which we zapped with the spray. Even in the morning, after so much spraying, more bluebottles were seen in our room. We left very early in order to get away from our bad experience as soon as we were able. As we went through the landing, we saw more bluebottles on the window. I left a message on the phone of one of the people listed as an Inn’s contact. She was unable to return my call. As it was Christmas, I thought only reasonable to wait a few days before ringing another of the named contacts. He, Pete, advised they would call out their pest control person. Subsequently, Pete advised that the pest control man said the problem was now over. The Inn charged half the room rate.

Couldn’t fault anything.

The place was much bigger than I thought. We sat outside having a drink looking out over open countryside. The evening meal in the restaurant was fantastic.
