The staff are amazing! Great access when the pub itself is closed. Tea and coffee facilities. Lovely bathroom. Spacious bedroom with bed and sofa bed.

Hard bed, preferred the sofa (this doesn't deter me from wanting to go back) Tv comes on on its own, I unplugged it. Not a complaint but so people know: In case you fancy an evening drink the pub closes at 20:30 or 21:00 If I wasn't having a meal I would have gone down for a drink around 22:00 and would have found it closed. This closing time might be normal around there but not everyone will expect it.

The staff were really friendly. We were made to feel very welcome. The room was a great size and we had everything we needed.

We were told a late private party with DJ was being held, on the morning of the party. It would’ve been more honourable to have told us well in advance of our stay to give us the option to change our booking.

Close by to the Sandlings walk and Snape Maltings. The room was a great size with a comfortable bed and sofa. Despite the windows opening out onto the pub garden below, this soon fell quiet as the pub pretty much closed when the last patron went home. Food was good and the staff were lovely, welcoming and friendly. I imagine breakfast would have been good however having woken up early to a warm bright day and the sound of bird-song I decided to be on my way.

Great location 5 mins walk from Snape Maltings (although at night note that it is along a pavement next to the road and is unlit - torch would be needed). Also within moments are riverside reedbed walks for birdwatchers. Clean and comfortable room with good selection of hot drink sachets. The building is old (historic) but has modernised in all the right places eg bathroom. Friendly and very obliging staff. Breakfast - basic cereals plus an excellent hot breakfast with several varied choices on the menu. Tea, coffee, preserves. Nice, sunny breakfast room. Easy parking.

Neither of these were a problem for me but maybe helpful for other travellers to know. 1. Check in if pub is closed requires a phone call, staff came within less than 5 minutes. Entrance is at back, in car park. (First impressions - door needs painting!!) 2. Breakfast is at 9am, earlier can be accommodated but you'd need to arrange with staff when you check in

Location perfect for a visitto Snape Maltings

We stayed 2 nights. On the first morning, breakfast was weird, with only a selection of hot plates offered, although requests for cereal and for toast were fulfilled. In contrast, on the second morning the service was exemplary with a traditional cereal, hot plate, and toast all offered. The staff on the two mornings were completely different, with day one being given (very slowly) by a couple of very young girls, while on day 2 it was by a much more helpful and sociable lady.

A characterful pub. Quite old and quirky- a little like our house! Very clean, a large and comfortable room, a cheerful and helpful staff and very close to Snape where we enjoyed concerts as part of the Aldeburgh Festival. Lots of quiet walks from the Golden Key. A reasonable price.We are booked again for July.

Nothing- though stairs might be a challenge for those less mobile.

Fabulous one night stay in this quirky 14th/15th century Inn. and we'll definitely be returning again! Room and bathroom were both very spacious with everything we needed, toiletries, towels and facecloths too which you don't often get. Tea & coffee with biscuits too. 😋 Lovely to have a sofa in our room to read or watch TV without having to lie on the bed. Bed was very comfortable with ample pillows. Breakfast was included in our price and included fruit juice, cereals and a choice of hot options plus toast & preserves if wanted. All very good. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and food was reasonable, delicious and with plenty of choice. Staff were all very helpful. Very convenient for Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh and other local attractions. Highly recommend.

Nothing, all was good.

Convenient location for snape maltings, reasonable price, comfortable bed.

Carpark unavailable due to upgrade and noisy building repairs made access difficult Limited range of breakfast items- no fruit, juice or yoghurt, small quantity of toast provided with no butter or marg Cups in our room not washed from previous day Staff friendly but sometimes inattentive

Beautiful old pub in a lovely village location. The room itself has a separate entrance and was spacious but cosy. Everything was spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We ate in the pub on the first night - the food was delicious - and breakfast was included in the price. There was also ample parking. A great base for exploring snape and surrounding areas.

The Golden Key is 5 minutes walk from Snape Maltings and The Sailors Path to Aldeburgh. Loved the choice of breakfast from Fresh Kippers to a Full English. The room was really huge and very comfortable, I will return.

there was an annoying fan which intermittently went off throughout the night in another area of the property which was a little disturbing.
