First time at this hotel and ended up missing the turning and going down the A120. Added 30 minutes to my journey. However the hotel is very nice and the staff were friendly and the room was clean. Help yourself breakfast and you need to ask for eggs that are not scrambled.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pillows weren't the most comfortable but still had a good sleep

We stayed for just one night as we were having a school reunion nearby, so we didn't try the restaurant. We didn't have hreakfast either, so can't comment on it. The location is easy to find - just off the A12. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and the bed was comfy. Easy car parking. Exactly what we required.

Cannot fault this hotel or the staff in any way! Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, decent food and extremely affordable. The toiletries were of a decent variety and lovely too. After reading some rather horrifying reviews, I found myself looking for such faults. However, i didnt find a single one. Will certainly return and use the hotel again if travelling in this area.

I booked an executive double room but it was identical to the standard double room I had at the Dragonfly hotel in Ipswich the previous night. It wasn’t an executive room. The room is reasonably comfortable but when I have booked an executive room in the past it has more room and bigger desk etc.

It was fine, although not the best place to find if you don't know the area and it's dark. We missed the turning off the slip road and then couldn't turn around as we were on to a dual carriage way with no immediate roundabouts. It took us at least 15 miles out of our way. There needs to be a sign or make reference to what signs are there. The other points to make are no mention was made about having to register for parking, or offer of a WiFi password.
