Telegraph Travel wrote: “This contemporary country inn proffers exceptionally good food, rooms and service in a classic Suffolk village location. It’s also very handy for the racing at Newmarket – a town not blessed with a wide range of accommodation options – and easy rural weekends away.” Expert rating 8/10
