    Lady showing people to their tables at breakfast was being a bit abrupt with people. But the breakfast was good. Room next to me man was very loud speaking. Luckily he went back out when I was trying to relax. When you are in the bath. There is nothing at the height you are at to wash with maybe move the body/shower gel lower. I had to keep standing up

    Easy location. Bath on the room rather than shower. Much cleaner than my previous stay.

    Only one thing really in the room between the door and bedroom area where there is no carpet was really slippery on many occasions we slipped and was very concerned we would end up with injuries

    Staff greeted us like old friends, which were really warm and helpful The room was lovely and spacious The use of the pool was a big plus too

    The floor around the swimming pool was dirty. Especially the female changing area. Broken lockers, ants in the locker and floor of changing area dirty. The floor needs a good scrub with bleach

    The reception and bar area were lovely and the rooms comfy.

    Loungers around the pool, and pool not as clean as I would like.

    Last minute getaway in Suffolk, hotel is in a good location not far from most things, The food is amazing can't fault it one bit, not the cheapest but well worth the money, all the staff are very friendly and helpful spa facilities were good a little dated but still ok.. they definitely need to update there loungers around the pool alot were very tatty and some broken. And the pool wasn't the cleanest at the bottom. Our room was clean and fresh nice bathroom, bed was very comfortable we had a good night's sleep there, we didn't have a fridge in our room which isn't great think that's a basic in a hotel room.. all in all it's a nice hotel just need to update the spa side and pool are a bit.

    The overflow car park needs a tidy, its obviously a dumping ground for damaged items.

    room tired and would benefit from a deep clean. the table and chairs were worn and probably need replacing. Out of the 5 days in the hotel the sauna was only available for 2 of those days. The rooms would benefit from a fridge and hooks in the bathroom for towels, bath robes etc. the set menu in the restaurant was fine if limited for those staying several nights.

    The room and facilities are clean enough but not spotless. There were things we could have complained about if we were fussy. The bathroom fan was very noisy. The water pressure isn't great and there waa limescale around the shower heads It took a long time to be noticed at the restaurant, they seemed a little understaffed. The towels at the pool could be bigger The room numbering system is a little confusing. It's not perfect but it is fantastic value for money.

    We've been to thia hotel before and love how much you get for the money. We ate in the restaurant both nights and had amazing meals. There is a great selection for vegans which is rare, and will be recommending to my friend who can't have gluten. The pool and spa bath are lovely. The superior room was nice and had a good view of a wooded area. The mattress was really comfortable and I had an excellent sleep. The toiletries and towels provided were good.

    Some of the furniture in the room was a little frayed and aged. It didn’t really bother me.

    Good breakfast choices and a comfortable quiet room despite the proximity to town. I didn’t use the wellness facilities but still thought it good value for money.
