Reviews and Ratings
The hotel overlooks the beach, and I found it to be brilliant. The rooms were comfortable, but I had difficulty using the shower over the bath; next time, I will request a shower cubicle. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to help, even organizing a tray so we could have breakfast on our balcony. The location is fantastic, right on the seafront in a nice coastal town. The dining experience included a variety of 'fresh' options and was enjoyable, although the white bait starter was a little disappointing. Facilities were great, with services like room service and laundry available.
The hotel offers small yet comfortable rooms that are clean and well-equipped with modern decor. The staff is warm and helpful, creating a pleasant dining experience. The location is ideal for exploring the Suffolk countryside, although some noise could be heard due to the glass. The dining options were generally good, with minor timing issues at times.
The hotel offers a spectacular view of the sea from the rooms, though overlooking the car park can be a bit of a disappointment given the price paid for bed and breakfast. The service provided by the incredibly hard-working and friendly staff is exceptional and truly enhances the overall experience. The location is excellent, allowing easy access to the town and coastal area. The dining experience was lovely, with a fabulous service and delicious offerings, especially in the Tiffany room.
