We were hoping by staying here that when we returned for the night we could enjoy a drink at the bar, but it turns out this place is not a regular pub and the bar closes as early as it becomes empty. The room was basic, with the only toiletry provided being shower gel, and the bed was a little... More

Having read prior reviews, we arrived with some trepidation. We received a warm welcome from the owner and were quickly registered. The room was very small, but clean, and apart from several coats of paint, had not been updated for some years. The evening meal was good pub food, served promptly, well presented and very reasonably priced. The full English... More

very nice little stopover, very warm and friendly owners, the room was adequate for our stay and the price very reasonable, perhaps just needed a little lick of paint in the room. the pub grub was great too, and a good cosy atmosphere with the fireplace. we had a nice stay, topped off with a superb breakfast - the full...

Arrived to a freezing empty bar and a miserable hostess. Whole place smells of grease and carpets sticky. Thought in strange we were made to pay for room Before We saw it . Curtains drawn in room "to keep in heat" or was it to hide busy A14? Central heating not on but just plugin heater. Bathroom was dirty and... More

We were foolish enough not to read these reviews before booking this pub. We shall know better in future. We arrived on a wet Sunday evening at 8.00pm only to find the place locked up and only a dim light showing from the bar. there was not even a light in the porch and no information as to how to...

I booked a small double for my wife and I, costing £50. My daughter, son in law and two grandson had the family room at £96 per... More

This inn was very cute and easily accessible. The food was standard English fair but good and made fresh. The proprietor was incredibly nice and accommodating. The rooms were a bit small but that was to be expected. The only thing I would say needs attending to are the beds which were a too firm and you could feel the... More

I stayed here for one night whilst visiting Bury St Edmunds. I found the staff welcoming and friendly and my room clean and comfortable although on the small side even for a single. The shower had obviously been recently installed and was very good. There was a fairly limited selection of food in the restaurant but what I ordered was... More
