We arrived at the hotel in the middle of storm Henk which was quite stressful but the staff were very welcoming. 15 mins later the whole village lost power. Although we weren’t able to get a cooked meal they produced a delicious charcuterie board by candlelight. The staff were upbeat despite the situation. The room was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.

We had a really lovely stay at The Crown Inn. The room was spacious, clean, and bed very comfortable. We had a meal in the restaurant and it was excellent and the service was great.

A gem of a place to stay
What a lovely find! I usually stay in another establishment nearby when I am on business in the area but tried this instead. I stayed in the beautiful attached building in a wonderfully clean and comfortable room. Staff and the service was wonderful and the food choice and quality was at the top level.

This lovely pub has a its bedrooms in a separate building facing the countryside. The rooms are therefore very quiet with no disturbance from the pub or the car park. The rooms themselves are beautifully decorated and well equipped. The bathroom was large and also well fitted out with everything you need.

Great food great stay, great staff
A real pleasure to stay here and can’t recommend it enough. Staff were great, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We ate twice in the pub and both times the food was excellent. The room was clean and modern reflecting the standard evident throughout the whole operation. We’d not been away for a while so this was a pleasant change and it was well worth the wait. It’s in a pleasant Suffolk village which borders on the idyllic so if you’re looking to chill out, this is the place.

A perfect two night stay! All staff were friendly and helpful - excellent service in the restaurant( most accomodating to allergy needs) Food delicious. Popular restaurant so very busy and noisy Sunday lunch time - minimalist decor does little to muffle the noise! Ideal location for visiting Constable Country. Situated in small village overlooking open countryside.
