Loved this hotel. Warm, welcoming, very comfortable lounge areas and some beautiful pieces of period furniture. Nice bar with an intimate “clubby” feel to it. The staff are excellent, professional yet friendly, a credit to the hotel. My wife and I chose a large room on the second floor with a large bay window and sea views. This was a great choice giving lots of room, two comfortable armchairs and a table in the bay window. We particularly enjoyed this as we have large rooms at home and sometimes hotel rooms can feel rather cramped. The bed was a super king double and super comfy! We went on the bed breakfast and dinner option and we are glad we did. The food is without doubt some of the best we have enjoyed in any hotel and we have stayed in quite a number at home and abroad over many years. The quality is of the highest order and the choice, cooking and presentation superb. The restaurant, because that’s what it is rather than a “dining room “ is lovely with a good ambiance consisting of a main area and a conservatory area in which we ate. The restaurant staff were excellent, and were always attentive when needed, for example I dropped a knife on the floor and a staff member was over in a shot to pick it up and replace it with a fresh one. That is representative of the quantity of the service. It is very popular with non residents as well as residents and that creates a nice atmosphere. All in all a great two night stay. We will be visiting Aldeburgh in the future and as far as we are concerned this is the only place to stay.
