A place to stay, not sleep…
The noisiest room I have stayed in for years. Loud band playing until late
Masses of road noise
Outside drinkers
Feet pounding on floor above vibrating the ceiling.
Not restful….

Filthy and lots of bugs
Very dirty and old. Dirty floors, cobwebs, bugs everywhere really unpleasant. Such a shame as the building is such a lovely old building it could be great. Even if the decor is old they could clean it properly, but they have left it to be really dirty and grimy. Also after breakfast, which was not good, coffee like water and took ages to be served. We then went to the car to see the chef outside smoking and in filthy clothes! Really put us off, made my husband feel ill. This was at 11am so he hadn’t been cooking all day to get so filthy! Would not recommend.

The room needs updating, tv not working, room needs a good clean as it’s got serval spiders 🕷️, the pub is a very nice old place, food is nice. Payed £110 for a night with breakfast, overall not bad but there are a few other places around here I would rather try.

It's pretty much as described; a 3 star pub. It's not Claridges but it's value for money. Nice people and clean room.
Generally pub food is not great and this was no exception: I had a very ordinary steak pie (none of the advertised kidneys). The peas and mash had obviously been left under the warming lamp for far too long and were pretty dried out. But, as I said, nice people and comfortable bed. I'd stay there again.

We arrived the hotel 3:45am because of an accident and road work on M1 we have waited half an hour on front of the hotel door, we constantly ring the doorbell and the hotel's phone number no one open the door. Absolutely fiasco

1 * pub hotel
1* accommodation with wardrobe in bathroom ??
VERY VERY noisy LIVE band on Friday night which went on till 11.30PM so dont come here if you want a quiet weekend break in the beautiful town of Long Melford.
Breakfast was decent but cereal bowls dirty not washed properly.
Also stopped on the hottest day of the year so far so it was very hot & sweaty in the room. Overall all a bit disappointing.

Easy and friendly check-in. Room very large but needs a little TLC. Greek evening meal very good. Breakfast on 1st morning very good however on 2nd morning, poor. Value for money: good. Bad points, I telephoned to book stay and was informed 'hotel' staff weren't available but would ring back. They didn't. I rang next day with the same result. Not very good!

We paid £149 for a family room, which had a double bed and a sofa bed in it. When we got in the room it was absolutely freezing and dirty. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable as were the pillows so we couldn’t sleep properly, as well as the room being incredibly cold. It was -4 outside and therefore heating was essential. The electric heaters were on for many hours but gave out little heat. The bathroom was absolutely freezing and smelt like a drain. The room was dirty and had not been cleaned properly with dust and cobwebs in the room. Electric cables were covered with electricians tape and the tv did not work. In the restaurant, where we had breakfast in the morning, was also absolutely freezing with staff even commenting on how cold it was. It was a huge disappointment and I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay there. I am upset that so much money was spent and we came away extremely cold and tired as we didn’t sleep. This spoilt our time spent with family, who live more than 3 hours away from us, when it should have been a time of enjoyment.
