We had lunch here a couple of weeks ago. As it was a special celebration we hired the private dining room which was quirkily funished and very comfortable.
The service was excellent;most attentive without being intrusive. The food was enjoyable although, as a vegetarian my options were limited to three choices. The starter doubled as mains, the potion size being...

Just returned from a 2 night DB&B break which was fab!
The Best House Room was small but perfectly formed. Loved the shortbread and the real milk in a flask for teas and coffees. The shower over the bath was great and the view from the loo was too! The best though was the view from the main bedroom which...

Thank you so much for your very generous review. We are particularly delighted that you flagged up this is not a stuffy place but still offers good service. Just one point, for anyone who might be booking, the room you stayed in was actually a Better House room, which is a smaller than the Best House rooms. Hope to see...

We stayed here for one night with dinner in February 2012. Most enjoyable. Room (one of the garden rooms) was nicely decorated and kitted out to a good standard. Friendly service, and both dinner and breakfast were lovely. Very enlightened wine list with plenty of good non-French reds (something which for us so many places fall down on). We'll certainly...

We are grateful for your very kind review and your appreciation of our wine list - we love French wine but the value for money, compared to Italian, Spanish and the New World, is not so good.
Thank you again.

Stayed on a 2 night dinner b&b winter break offer. Great value for the high standard of room and quality of food.we stayed in a garden room. Good quality furnishings throughout, tasteful decor. All meals in the restaurant were excellent, including breakfast.

Thank you for your very kind review. We are delighted you think your stay was good value – sometimes not sure what people expect for their pennies! Thank you also for your commendation of the food.

Have just returned from a first (hopefully of many) visits to this gem of a hotel. Everything is so lovely, from the decor and ambience, to the wonderful food and friendly and welcoming staff. The location is also perfect -even prettier as we woke up to thick snow! Nothing was too much trouble: I managed to arrive with crumpled clothes...

We really appreciate your report and are delighted you enjoyed everything from food to staff. Can't guarantee (even don't want!) the snow though. Thank you so much and hope to see you again soon.

I'm sorry it's taken me from Christmas until now to write my review - however I AM still probably carrying some of the weight I put on, so haven't completely forgotten you!
What a fabulous time we had, the food was really lovely, so many difficult choices to make and the menu kept changing so there was no way we...

Thank you very much for your appreciation of your Christmas stay and particularly that the quality of the food etc., justified the cost. We never stint on ingredients and, as you know, not many (or any?) hotels have tangerines, nuts, chocolates, cake etc., freely available through the festive period or give their guests a nice present. And, yes, the bar...

My partner and I decided to treat each other to a stay here as a Christmas present. Our room was spacious and comfortable with an excellent bathroom. The hotel is full of little personal touches such as the personalised DVD recommendations and sherry guides - not to mention the thorough suggestions and advice on what to see and do. But,...

This was a Christmas present and amongst the best we have ever had. Stayed two nights in January and in a "Best Garden" room which was nice size and lovely and warm. The bed was comfy, the ensuite nicely done and the toilet soap exquisite (We bought some for home at the local shop) The ambiance througout and the food...

We spent 2 nights here in October 2011 and we had a fabulous time. The room was lovely and comfortable with a view of Orford Castle from the bathroom. Bathroom toiletries were beautiful and we have since purchased the soap for home from the website. We had a room in the hotel as opposed to the garden. We had dinner...

Thank you for your very generous review and, yes, Orford is a great place to visit not least for the bakery, oysterage and smoke houses.

I NEVER give 5 stars for any review I leave. This has been a completely different experience. This is genuine top class service and food without ANY airs or graces. You could go anywhere else in the country and pay top dollar for, maybe, a Michelin star experience but here you get good honest food, comfortable accomdation with truly welcoming...

First, I am delighted you have no idea who I am (Ruth Watson), and that you don't care much anyway! A very healthy response. Thank you for confirming that we do not trade on my alter ego/career and for such nice comments about our staff, food and accommodation – and the lack of pretension. We have a phrase we use...
