We decided to spend a couple of days in and around Aldeburgh and came across Butley Priory on the internet. Not having read any reviews, we judged the book by its internet cover and were not disappointed. The day before we arrived, Sarah called to explain that there might not be anyone there to meet us at our arrival time.... more

Butley Priory was exactly what we needed for a relaxing break. We had done our research and knew we would like it, but it exceeded expectations. Not cheap, and I appreciate (and agree with) the comments about the cost compared to hotels and other excellent B and Bs, but this is the point - it isn't a hotel or a... more

I stayed here right back at the beginning of January when it was snowing when I was on a business trip. We were greeted by Frances and taken into the great hall, which looked gorgeous especially as it still had the Christmas tree up. After being shown our rooms Frances and her daughter both gave us recommendations on local pubs... more

We stayed in the West Wing. The Priory could be an absolutely great place to stay, if only some more attention was given to the finishing touches. These included - a lovely log fire made up in the grate, but no matches to light it - some of the furniture was distinctly second-hand rather than in any sense antique -... more

I don't think the people who have written negative revews researched this place prior to staying. I had been told about Butley Priory by somebody else who adored it and when I went it didn't dissapoint. We are definately planning to do our wedding here next year and so glad I found it, it is really romantic and has such... more

What an amazing place!!! Historic, charming and over all, totally romantic. Only stayed for one night and really regret we didn't stay longer. We wanted to stay somewhere romantic and away from it all, Butley Priory didn't disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were totally aghast. The friendliness on our arrival, meeting Lilly the dog and being shown into... more

We spent 3 nights at this marvellous and VERY different historic B&B and loved every minute. It is not a smoothly run boutique hotel and guests should not expect 24 hour service etc., but if you want to stay in a building which ouzes history and has been a much loved family home for many years then this is the... more

My wife & I have just returned from spending a two night midweek B & B stay at £130 per night. It was described as having 21st century comfort and will have flowers and chocolates in the room as part of the price. The building,grounds and location were beautiful and it plain to see why it is chosen as a... more

We have just returned from a 2 night stay in the West Wing at Butley Priory, what an impressive room, absoulutely beautiful. The room was enormous, very clean and the bed was huge and very comfortable. We were made aware that we could light a fire in the fireplace in the room, logs were provided but the weather was too... more
