Receptionist did not look at us, no information on meal times given. Superior room we had booked had small old tv with no remote and room though large was shabby and tired. Moved to another alleged superior room with working old small tv and large ugly bathroom which contained 4 dead moths which remained for the whole of our stay... more

As a female solo business traveller I look for smaller 'friendly' hotels with a decent restaurant.

Unfortunately we chose the Carlton Manor. The check in was bright, cheery and pleasant, unfortunately checking and checking out were the highlights of our stay. Understandably with the hotel catering for... more

We stayed here for one night after a last minute search for accomodation nr Suffolk or Norfolk. The hotel describes itself as being set in rolling country side but is actually next to several new housing estates and its own caravan park. It obviously prioritses the 'function' element of its business and prides itself on the food so despite a... more
