Very accommodating.
Everyone was really friendly and really accommodating. We needed to eat breakfast earlier than the advertised times and this was no issue. The garden was great and the play area for the children fab. Very dog friendly.

Clean good sized room, towels, kettle, mugs/tea/coffee making facilities and ample breakfasts. Stayed in family rm and lucky to not have other people stay next door so had the shower/toilet to ourselves. Staff were nice, friendly and polite. Flexible in having takeaway sarnies for lunch in place of breakfast. Decor a bit dated and room a little too room, but on the whole felt very comfortable. Thanks 😊

Will certainly book again
We stayed at the Sorrel Horse for one night and would certainly book again. The rooms are in a separate building to the inn itself so are nice and quiet. We were in room 6 which faced the road but there isn't a lot of traffic so still peaceful. The room itself wasn't the biggest but perfectly fine, with plenty of storage space and immaculately clean.
Breakfast in the morning was a full English and delicious, though just cereals etc were on offer if you want something lighter.
Add to this the friendly staff and I'm not surprised it gets rated "fabulous".

Review of The Sorrel Horse Inn, Barham,Suffolk.
Ive eaten there before ,so when i needed to stay near Stowmarket i opt to give it a try. We had a nice dinner Sat eve and retired early even though they had music on that night. A good nights sleep and a really good full english breakfast in the morning which set us up for the day ahead! We will certainly stay there again!

Pleasant
A pleasant inn. Arrived moments after 11pm all was locked up. I phoned a number on the door and was let in. I.e. if you’re going to be there after 10, let them know etc.
Room was fine. Bed and shower all okay. Thank you.

Staff nice
Staff were nice and friendly. Unfortunately the two meals we had off the special board weren’t very special and had little taste. Breakfast was ok. The shower which was very old sprayed water all over the floor as it had no directional head, water was a nice temperature once we got it going. The bed had a rubberised protector under the sheet that made for a very hot sweaty night. Neither of us slept well. It’s a real shame as the staff and pub were nice. Unfortunately we would not go back

Nice Pub with rooms
excellent little pub with rooms, very nice evening meal, very friendly and helpful staff, evening and morning, everything freshly cooked to order, my room was ground level, room was clean and fresh, bathroom very clean, not modern, but served very well, perhaps needs a lick of paint to freshen it up would be my only criticism,
