Lovely character hotel.

Staff are very friendly, food is very good and reasonably priced. The building is lovely and full of character, however the rooms are simply decorated. The location is excellent. Unfortunately, there were no parking spaces when we arrived in the afternoon so we had to park down the street, but parking is free in Long Melford so this wasn't a problem.

The staff were uniformly very helpful. The food was good enough, but not excellent. The room, in the newer part of the building, would've been fine, but we stayed during hot weather and the room was hell at night, even with the windows fully open 👿 Just awful; really, really horrible. I guess the window catches the sun in the afternoon and evening, but we couldn't get to sleep until five in the morning the room temperature just didn't drop. A fan, with moving louvre, was provided, but it didn't do much to alleviate the insane oven effect. Top quality insulation apparently 😆 I'd happily stay at another time of year, but never again in hot weather. Avoid if temperatures are >27°C in the afternoon in June. A minor niggle: the shower is constrained to the width of the narrow bath, and felt cramped.

Bring your ear plugs

The hotel is on a busy high street and the secondary glazing isn’t sealed. Hopefully they’ll sort out the banging kitchen door soon, avoid a room near the kitchen until then…

The staff without exception were excellent. The rooms are comfortable and adequately equipped. The room allocated was suffered from traffic noises from the front and side but the staff very quickly arranged a transfer to an alternative. This was better but we again had to mention the repeated banging, below us, of what turned out to be one of the kitchen service doors. This was ommediately addressed, spoon wedged under it. The bathrooms are quite dated with older style sanitaryware and shower controls. Not thermostatically controlled. Would we stay again, probably not although I would reiterate, staff and service were excellent.

Check in was easy and friendly member of staff. Room was like an oven with no way to turn off radiator. Window only cracked open. Noise throughout night with a possible freezer kicking on and off. Bathroom door did not close. Evening restaurant bar staff terrible I ended up walking to the crown for food and a drink where service and staff were excellent.
