The room was fine but basic. Cleanliness was adequate but the toilet was full of toilet paper on arrival (hadn’t been flushed). The shower fixture was a bit wobbly, and the tap water was for handwashing only with no clues given about where we should get safe water to drink for the provided kettle. The room was overly warm but we found that preferable to being too cold. Our biggest complaint was that despite the website and the hotels.com description suggesting there were breakfast facilities, there were none. To get breakfast on a Sunday we had to go to the other end of the village and get breakfast at a rival hotel. We’d never have booked had we known. We didn’t pay too much for the room and our stay was fine for the price - but we stayed once before in 2022 and the service was a whole lot better, and they served breakfast then.

Lovely hotel and bar area with great staff. Downside is that my room i dixated pri ate bathroom which I took to be ensuite but was separate from my room. The restaurant was closed on a Tuesday and I specifically book at hotels with a restaurant. I could not find anywhere online where this was indicated. I ordered myself a curry takeaway but had to eat in in my room as not allowed to bring food onto property to eat. So a bit awkward. Also first time I have stayed in a hotel where no wifi in the rooms, only in public areas. Otherwise a lovely place.

The staff and hotel were lovely and the location was great for what we needed. Although it was very lovely and quiet at night, We did struggle to sleep comfortably as the mattress was quite springy and uncomfortable and the pillows for myself personally were either too soft or hard and big but that is a personal preference and you cannot please everyone. The rooms themselves were both lovely that we had booked. A double and a family room both lovely rooms.We did have a powercut to our room which meant we could not shower in the morning but that wasn’t a major deal for us and being a Sunday there wasn’t much they could do to get someone out quickly but the staff were quick at least trying to look themselves and see if it was an easy fix. Would definitely stay again. Thank you

It's pretty much as described; a 3 star pub. It's not Claridges but it's value for money. Nice people and clean room. Generally pub food is not great and this was no exception: I had a very ordinary steak pie (none of the advertised kidneys). The peas and mash had obviously been left under the warming lamp for far too long and were pretty dried out. But, as I said, nice people and comfortable bed. I'd stay there again.

1* accommodation with wardrobe in bathroom ?? VERY VERY noisy LIVE band on Friday night which went on till 11.30PM so dont come here if you want a quiet weekend break in the beautiful town of Long Melford. Breakfast was decent but cereal bowls dirty not washed properly. Also stopped on the hottest day of the year so far so it was very hot & sweaty in the room. Overall all a bit disappointing.
