Nicer on the inside than the outside. Just across the street from the beach. The room, and bathroom are on the small side, but clean and fresh. Good breakfast included and free parking.

We had a nice stay , the hotel is in a great location but is very tired on the outside, it is an old property and seaside hotels can be a bit weather beaten, we did ask to be moved to a seaside view but moved back to our original room as the new room with a view had a lot of damp in it and not as nicely decorated so not worth the extra £60 a night they wanted to charge us!! Also bear in mind that the seagulls are very noisy especially at 5 30am when the fishing boats come in to the beach outside the hotel

Great location and the sea view room we had was lovely with high ceiling and huge windows. The room-darkening curtains kept us cool in spite of the heatwave and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and even our dog was made to feel welcome in the dining room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

Disappointing accommodation, but helpful staff.

I booked 2 rooms for single occupancy, for myself and a friend. I was aware that these expensive rooms were not sea facing, however they were both very disappointing, especially mine which had a tiny bathroom with no natural light. The rooms were VERY basic, with only one ceiling spotlight and 2 bedside wall lights. I had to request a separate table lamp, however there was nowhere to plug it in! There were only 2 sockets in the room, one with the tv plugged in. The receptionist found an additional one under the desk/table, but half covered by furniture and totally inaccessible for me. The TV was positioned on the only useable flat surface in the room. and was small, old and totally inappropriate for the cost of the room. My friend's tv was at least mounted on the wall. Both rooms were totally dated and although scrupulously clean, they were not a comfortable environment to spend any time in. I have a slight mobility problem, so contacted the Hotel prior to our visit and was told that there was a lift and a few steps to navigate, which seemed acceptable. However, their 'new' lift system is laboriously slow and complicated and I then had to negotiate steps up and down, to access our rooms. It was a 'marathon' every time we went up to our rooms and then down again. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Overall, this hotel is overpriced and although the communal areas have been given a facelift, the rooms need rewiring and updating. A lick of paint has not been sufficient.

I'd have liked a grab rail on the wall of the shower/bath since as an old person fear of falling is a constant worry.

Perfect location in Aldeburgh

Fantastic seafront location, the hotel is a slight maze of stairs and corridors, but there is a lift. Our room was a good size, comfortable, quiet and very clean. Good restaurant and bar with friendly staff. We will return.

Nice room, very clean but on the smaller end on size of room. Early morning noise of beer barrels being delivered or returned was a nuisance. Didn’t eat evening meals here as vegetarian options on the menu we saw were minimal. Overall, I would recommend but select a sea view rather than the town view.

Second stay at this hotel. Staff were all very nice. Public areas of the hotel were really nice but thought the room looked a little tired. Nice bar and the Brasserie looked nice although we didn’t have dinner there. The breakfast though was good. Right on the sea front, pubs nearby, short walk to the high street with some nice shops, cafes and eateries.
