This small family-owned and run country hotel in North Suffolk was once a rural public house; today, it has been sympathetically renovated and still retains its historic charm and character.

Great location as only 2 mins drive from an event we attended in Eye. Quiet at night. Spacious room & ensuite, v good shower & heated towel rail, so lovely warm large towels. Mattress a little too solid for our liking. However, staff were very pleasant and attentive, and we enjoyed an excellent leisurely breakfast, cooked to order.

The whole experience was amazing. Lovely house with spacious and pretty interiors. Size of kitchen and dining hall was great. The garden was beyond beautiful. It was for my birthday celebration and the host prepared two bottles of Prosecco and some snacks for us.
Overall ,excellent. Breakfast was outstanding. Sadly we did not try the dinner menu which looked very good as we were invited out . The restaurant has numerous awards for its food. The restaurant is shut Sunday night. Quiet and very comfortable rooms.

This is more a rural area with towns and villages nearby.
This is more a rural area with towns and villages nearby. Very close to the Norfolk border with the market town of Diss only a few miles away. Stowmarket and Ipswitch are also not that far. There are castles and the coast not that far either.
The White Horse Pub on the A140 is highly recommended. The food was fantastic and very friendly staff too.
Great place to visit and use as a base to travel out from for a weekend in Suffolk or Norfolk. You do need a car though to get around.

We did not venture into Yaxley itself but did visit Diss and Eye: both picturesque market towns with character. We used the hotel as a base to visit Grime's Graves, and Ely with its magnificent cathedral. Also stopped and watched the aircraft at Lakenheath and got an impromptu fly past of two F15s.
The thing that really impressed me was the attention to detail with regard to customer service. When we arrive we were shown to our room with our cases carried in very much a 5* fashion. The front of house could not have been more accommodating really old school attentiveness The dinner though rated as 2 x AA Stars would easily attract 1 x Michelin Star based on our experiences across Europe. The hosts clearly live for their hotel/restaurant and they deserve every success. I Would strongly recommend the The Auberge.
Jake and Katy were great hosts and helped us with small things like freezing our freezer blocks to take with us each day. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant on our first evening which was a special treat. The property is easy to find as it's located right on the A140 Norwich to Ipswich road. It gave us a really good central base for exploring Suffolk attractions. Our 6 breakfasts were consistently delicious. Plenty of off road parking. There is also a lovely garden area to sit in with picnic tables.
There was nothing not to like. Jake and Katie were exemplary hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. And that included wonderful service and attention for our two dogs. The food we ate was delicious with a lot of the ingredients grown on the premises. They are running a beautiful establishment with courtesy, respect and care; good old-fashioned service at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend the Auberge in Yaxley for a pet-friendly comfortable break. Big thumbs up!
The breakfast here was absolutely superb. You choose from a list the day before and your order is cooked and prepared for the time you specify. The quality of the breakfast was one of the best we've had.
The hotel is in a good location on a main A road (A140) near the Norfolk border and close to lots of places of interest. There are also good eating places nearby if the hotel restaurant is fully booked.
All the staff we met were really helpful and friendly.
Fantastic stay. The staff were incredibly kind and very good at their job. I stay in a lot of hotels and to have friendly staff makes a huge difference. Nice big comfy room with bath and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. Also very much appreciate having a cafetiere of coffee rather than a single cup for breakfast.
The hotel was in a great location with great villages nearby. The hotel was clean with great facilities and the Sunday lunch and breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and made our stay very enjoyable.
The hotel had character and our hosts could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The bedroom was very clean and well proportioned. The meals were delicious. We would definitely stay again.
Superb breakfast and evening meal Very friendly family run hotel and restaurant. Large bedrooms, ample parking and convenient location for nearby towns and local sites of interest.
