The Guinness Arms

Bury St Edmunds

10/10 Excellent

The staff were really friendly and approachable. The meal I had was one of the best I've had in a long while. The room was really clean with a Nespresso coffee machine which for me was a really nice touch as I love my coffee. The shower was lovely and hot. I will definitely be booking there again and I can not recommend it enough. Lovely bar with a nice atmosphere. I was solo travelling and the staff were more than happy to chat while I enjoyed my drink at the bar. I didn't have the breakfast as...

The Fox Inn by Greene King Inns

Bury St Edmunds

10/10 Excellent

Cory, the manager of The Fox, is a lovely host. Super hard working, he is around to serve breakfast and still managing the bar late at night. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and warm. Parking is immediately outside the rooms and easily accessed. Bury St Edmund’s is a lovely town with excellent shopping and coffee shops. Strongly recommend staying at The Fox for visiting Bury St Edmunds.

Cherry Tree Pub

Woodbridge

10/10 Excellent

A very pleasant stay of a few days in the Cherry Tree Pub. Our room, in a well converted barn at the rear, was spacious, clean, warm and quiet with excellent amenities. The breakfasts were exemplary, as was the one evening meal we took there on our first night. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and chatty. An easy walk to the centre of Woodbridge and harbour area, with lots of local interest. Highly recommended...

The Old Red Lion Inn

Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

The staff could not have done more, the food was amazing, the whole place was spotlessly clean, fridge in the room etc. The shower was the only very minor thing that let it down. We prefer a hand held one to a rose from the top… personal choice. We will certainly revisit when in the area. Great value… the pub/restaurant was LOVELY… a lot of thought has obviously gone into making it such a comfortable place to be. All the tables were spaced out well, with comfortable chairs…. The staffing levels...

The Dog & Partridge by Greene King Inns

Bury St Edmunds

10/10 Excellent

I believe it had just reopened after being closed for a whilst for refurbishment. Having not seen the before i cannot comment on the works undertaken. However the place i visited was super, friendly staff (dont think they had been refurbished), great room and very comfy. The rooms are in the adjoining property, so isolated for the jovial atmosphere in the restaurant. And it was jovial and busy (on a Wednesday evening) and again the staff were brill. The food was some of the best ive had in...

Simon

A narrow alley with a wheelbarrow, potted plants, and a building with exposed brick and timber framing.

The WoolPack Inn

Colchester

10/10 Excellent

The Woolpack is simply the best Inn that I’ve stayed at. Gorgeous building (complete with ghost?). Staff that are genuinely friendly, a pub packed with locals that must be the friendliest in the Country. I was lucky to be there for Thursday night karaoke… honestly I’ve arranged my diary to be there on Thursdays. If you like an authentic pub, great food, superbly comfortable accommodation and a strong community spirit.. (and maybe a ghostly nun).. then this is the best place to stay!
