First and foremost fabulous location. Great restaurant and terrace overlooking pedestrian promenade and beach. Great location for local attractions.
Rooms were comfortable, and clean overall. Slightly stained sheet on arrival in one of rooms. Tea and coffee in rooms and no problems topping these up at reception. Was a scorching weekend. There was a portable fan in the room, which made things more comfortable.
Staff varied in friendliness but overall were efficient and we had a positive experience.
We had the Sunday carvery and a full breakfast the next day. Both were excellent quality and value.
Parking is limited but complementary for guests.
Would definitely stay here when visiting again.
Situated very close to Ipswich train station. A very warm welcome by the owner. My room was at the front and there is a bit of train noise, but this didn't bother me. The room was spotless and very neatly presented. The shared bathroom seemed clean too.
Quite a wacky, quirky hotel- which we love! The main hotel is unique and fab, but the rooms are tired and outdated and could be cleaned to a higher standard. The tap water is not drinkable, so more drinking water also needs to be provided and accessible in double and twin rooms- one bottle for two people is not enough. When phoning reception to request two bottles of water, we were still only given one and the empty bottle we had was also weirdly and awkwardly requested and collected at our door first, before we were allowed more water, which was then bought separately and left outside the room? Just a little odd when they have to provide drinking water. A great location hotel though and we actually love the extravagant, crazy style of the main hotel and have been back 3 times and would stay again when in the area for work. You have to see it to believe it!
