    Superb location close to coast and great places to visit like Sutton Hoo. Beautifully appointed boutique hotel, with super friendly staff and fantastic food. Dinner and breakfast were a highlight of the day. We stayed in a lovely superior room...

    Exceptional accommodation. Stylish design and superb dining. Expensive as you would expect but worth it. We stayed in the Watchtower room with fabulous views of estuary and glimpse of castle from bathroom. Friendly and professional staff.
