We were made to feel welcome after a long journey. Our room was a good size (room 3) and was quiet. The bed was comfortable and there was a good shower. The clientele was mostly elderly and the restaurant was extremely sedate. The food at dinner was not as good as we had expected but breakfast was lovely with local... more

This hotel was in a stunning location and room 9 looked out over Orford Ness. The village is delighteful and really off the beaten track. Although not a particularly grand building the hotel had an 'olde inn' look and feel and was a stones throw from nearby Orford Castle, a Norman keep. From the moment we arrived the service was... more

Just returned from a lovely 3 night break at the hotel - Very friendly and helpful staff, the hotel was spotless, the food was wonderful, breakfast was particularly good - waitress service not the usual buffet. The room we stayed in was what they call "better" and was fine for us - we felt the price to be reasonable considering... more

My wife and I, along with my father, have just enjoyed a relaxing short break at the C&C. Quite apart from the good food and very comfortable ambience what really struck us was the friendly and smiling service from everyone we came in contact with at the hotel. Thank you to the staff for a lovely short break, and we... more

I stay at the Crown and Castle about twice a year and it is always a real pleasure. This time was no different, with the Autumn colours and this week's warm sunshine making my stay extra special. The Crown and Castle is wonderfully situated, near to lovely estuary walking and views, and has everything I like in a hotel. A... more

Liked friendly staff, dog friendly environment & room was clean & modernish. Disliked how tight they are & the flies, they provide a swat in each room,they are also a problem in the restaurant, i was surprised they didn't have an insectocuter. What i think lets the place down is it comes across as being very tight. As mentioned before... more

Went to the Crown and Castle for one night. Overall we enjoyed our stay but somewhat overpriced. We thought our garden room was fine but nothing special, although the bed was really comfortable and the lotions and soap in the bathroom were lovely. We paid £185 for one night for two with evening meal and breakfast.(Around £250 with a nice... more

As you will see from my previous posts, we are fans of the 'sunday night special' and have visited many hotels, pubs & inns to take advantage of the Dinner, Bed & Breakfast deals offered on a Sunday night. As we are now the proud owners of a labrador puppy, we needed a hotel that accommodated dogs, and the Crown... more

Reading between the lines on earlier reviews, a pretty high bar was set for our stay. We were keen to find out about the IKEA furnishings and the apparent idiosyncracies of the hotel’s well-known co-proprietor. What transpired, however, was that many thoughtful touches really set this establishment apart from its contemporaries, and in combination provide an exceptional ‘visitor experience’ that... more
