September 2024After spending a night here I would like to thank all of the team George,Honey,Isla,Grace and Harry. All of whom made us feel incredibly welcome, nothing was to much and attention to detail was more than accounted for. The room was amazing, clean, comfy and beautiful. The food was out of the this world. But to top it all I would say that although it was a busy evening the staff team continued to give 100% with all customers whilst having a smile on there face. We look forward to returning ❤️

October 2024The food was lovely as was the decor but the best thing about it was the young man who seemed to be the duty manager. I can't remember a more professional discreet welcoming and efficient experience... and i told him so in person He's going a long way in hospitality if it's his chosen path

December 2024Went for dinner at this beautiful restaurant. We ordered the Game Keepers Supper and deliberately didn't enquire what it entailed. We were fed the most delicious and carefully prepared food plus given a carafe of red which complimented the food so perfectly. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Will most certainly be returning. Faultless.

September 2024We enjoyed a Sunday evening Dine and Stay. I found this place refreshingly superb. The building itself is a very old a coaching inn 1495. The Crown has been recently decorated and the style and tone of everything is lovely. You are in deepest darkest Suffolk but there are no cobwebs or musty damp walls instead you find immaculately exposed oak beams and rooms of autumn shade ochre with wonderful accents. The staff were fabulous and every need and request was met with a smile accompanied by the offer to do even more to make your stay comfortable. The food was just stupendous. It was locally sourced which I like and cooked beautifully. I had Brill for my main course and it was perfect. All other food and drink , such as the " Silver Adder," beer and Baron Bigod on the cheese board also absolutely wonderful. When I finally weigh up the price we paid along with the excellent staff and food, I do think that this must be one of the best or maybe the best smallish hotels in the UK. I will definitely be staying again, a fabulous Suffolk Secret that's for sure.

October 2024Nice place and the service was good with the alcohol reasonably priced but the food was massively overpriced for what you get, £100 of food ordered between the two of us with no desserts included in that and I can honestly say not one part of the meal left me thinking wow that was worth it. They also put an automatic service charge on which I'm not a fan of, I'm not sure if this can be taken off but let's be honest who is going to argue this as it's just embarrassing for both parties. Won't go again as other restaurants offer the same quality of food if not better for less and do not put a ridiculous service charge on an already expensive meal.
