Beautiful old building in extensive grounds adjacent to the A14 but very quiet location. Stayed in main building which I think was a better choice than in the outbuildings especuially if there is a wedding at the venue on the day of stay. Nice swimming pool and lots of tasteful areas in the shade. Lovely bar and restaurant areas for evening meals and breakfast. Would certainly stay agaIn .... Cheddar the cockerel who wanders the grounds is a joy but does have a very good pair of lungs! Staff members all exceptionally helpful.

When busy overnight an early morning litter pick would be a good idea ....

Sammy was very welcoming and we loved our room and the decor - clearly has been redecorated very recently. Everywhere was very clean. We were the ‘VIP’ guests, chosen by the hotel, for the weekend so we got a lovely additional hamper with snacks - that was a lovely touch! The breakfast was great on the Saturday morning (the Sunday morning clearly was a different chef as the breakfast was a lot smaller!)

The only thing was that were was no full length mirror (I was getting ready for a wedding) and so had to use the one small bathroom mirror. Food was also a bit pricey!

We stayed here with friends whilst attending the National Vintage Tractor Run. The breakfast menu offered a wide variety of choices, including smashed avocado and poached egg on toast, porridge, and a traditional fried breakfast platter. Additionally, there was a buffet of pastries and continental breakfast items available for those who preferred a lighter option. The room was comfortable and clean, complete with an en-suite bathroom. Sammy took excellent care of us at the bar—his customer service was truly outstanding.

The coffee at breakfast could have been warmer. However, that is just a small point to an otherwise enjoyable stay.

When you first enter the hotel the smell of a log fire makes it feel very welcoming and homely, was greeted by a lovely gentleman named samy, who took us to our room. Our room had been refurbished and had everything that was needed for a comfortable night stay. We had booked diner at the hotel for the evening and the food did not dissapoint, the lamb shank is a must for any diner, everything was perfect from starter to desert, samy our waiter went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. The new owners of this property have transformed this hotel into a warm welcoming hotel, myself and my partner would highly recommend a nights stay for any occasion, we will be certainly be returning. Thanks to all the staff for making our anniversary an enjoyable one.

Beautiful surroundings for relaxing in, especially outdoors if weather is warm. Nice walk through woods and alongside the hedgerow at the side of a field, up to Rougham Church, which too, was beautiful. We also called into ‘Roots cafe & shop’ that was just a few minutes walk away within the big estate. Most staff members were very welcoming and helpful. Food was tasty, if a little expensive. Nice choices for breakfast. The bed was really comfortable (we were in the Oak Room).

The staff we're lovely and food excellent. Really value for money. We got a taxi into Bury St Edmunds, and at £10.70 each way, it was brilliant between the 3 of us. We will be visiting again. It was like going back in time with all the comforts.

The only thing that needed attention was the side bedside lamps. Which l informed the staff about changing the bulbs as lamps were a little unstable. But it didn't cause any problems at all. A brilliant stay over. Thank you 😊

Great breakfast and ideal location for Bury St Edmunds. A very historical and interesting building and excellent staff who were so super friendly. I have to shout out Cheryl and nothing was too much for her to make our stay an exceptional one.

Unfortunately the kitchen closed early on a Sunday and 6pm was too early for us to have our evening meal. However Cheryl took the time to ring us on the afternoon to inform us of this and also looked for local alternatives for us as well and this was above and beyond and we really appreciated it.

Set in Suffolk countryside within easy reach of the A14, Bury St Edmunds and surrounding area Loved the character and authenticity of the property.....good quality furnishing throughout, which has obviously been well cared for. Easy, friendly check-in/out, All the staff were helpful, professional and welcoming. The room was warm with clean bedding and towels. TV, free Wi-Fi, iron/ironing board, tea/coffee making facilities. Four-poster bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows, atmospheric lighting, 2 comfortable chairs, enough electrical sockets and beautiful mirror on chest of drawers. Private bathroom with both shower and fabulous bath. The food is prepared "in-house" by a very good chef and is top quality without an excessive price tag There is a small swimming pool, well maintained poolside area and lawns. We hope to return again and wish the establishment and staff well

The wooden key tag is a bit cumbersome but you can leave it at the desk if you are returning to the property before reception closes for the night

The breakfast was excellent, the room was comfortable although a little too warm, and the bed was very comfortable and perfect for our dog! The staff were super friendly and professional making us and our dog feel most welcome. Thank you!

Control on the radiators as the room was very warm. Once the window was opened this was better. The hot water tap in the bathroom was very stiff.

Lovely property just a stone throw from Bury st Edmunds. Very quiet in lovely grounds. The room was spacious, comfortable and had everything you need. Lovely little touches with period pieces and a booklet not only with all the information you might need but also with the history of the house itself. Very friendly and attentive staff. We had a dinner and a breakfast there which were delicious. Also pet friendly. We'd definitely stay again

The property could do with a little tlc - there are some cobwebs, cracks in the walls and an old carpet but it does look like it's being addressed as there are already signs of improvement
