We asked to sit in a different part of the restaurant, there were plenty of empty tables but they refused our request.

Very comfortable stay in beautiful village.Delicious dinner.

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 with views of the estuary in the distance. Fabulous.

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.

We stayed 2 nights at the Crown & Castle. The staff were courteous, professional & fun!! We ate both nights at the hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, the choice of dishes on the menu was exceptional.

Great location in Orford; right next to the castle and close to the estuary. We had a garden room and were able to park right outside our room. Our patio faced west and even in late Sept we sat outside in the late afternoon looking onto the gardens. Perfect. Breakfast was lovely with a good choice. Our evening meal was of a really excellent standard. The staff were all very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Surprised when we were shown a room in the garden, looked at first a bit light a chalet in a holiday camp. However, hold judgement and our room was great inside together with a small patio to the rear, view of Orford Castle keep and pleasant garden. The 6.15 and 8.15 sittings for dinner are a bit of a problem as the 8.15 sitting can start at 8.30 to 8.45 if the first sitting are slow to vacate their seats!

Very friendly staff, the room in the garden area was large, bright and very clean with a big comfortable bed. Shower was over the bath but plenty of hot water and good pressure. Breakfast was good, Angela thought that her yoghurt with compote was sublime, my bacon and eggs was well up to standard. Plenty of coffee and good orange juice. Nice touch with the toast was a small croissant and pain au chocolat. Dinner was generally very good over the three nights, great lobster with tagliatelle, duck breast was delicious, monkfish tails with chorizo sublime, trio of Blythburgh pork very good. Wonderful walks by the sea and rivers.

Nothing really, though being single storey and south facing the bedroom did get very hot at night. Maybe some better ventilation of those rooms would be good in summer.

Beautiful building and dining/ bar area. Lovely comfortable garden room with outside seating area . The room overlooking the private residents garden and castle. Good parking.

Location, range of facilities, excellent dinner, top class room

Room was on the smallish size but adequate for a two night stay. Pulling back clean white bed sheets revealed a black spider, another one found under the pillow. Luckily we were not too phased but some other people might be.

Great location in village close to castle, easy parking on site. Really good staff, very accommodating. Room had Lovely walk in shower. Good tea making facilities with biscuits etc..Bottle of spring water. Very good selection of breakfast choices, all waiter served.

Restaurant very quiet making for ‘whispered’ conversations but that a very minor thing

My second visit - and just as lovely. Efficient, warm staff, comfortable spacious room and excellent restaurant.

A warm welcome. Bed and pillows very comfortable.

The glass table was covered in dust, also the bathroom sink tap was very difficult/stiff to turn on and off.

The room, the food and the staff were very helpful. Especially the reception girl, ( auburn hair) always greeted with a smile and very helpful when asked a question

Lovely big room with lovely views

Stay was great only adding the notes below to be constructive There was a extractor fan or heating system near the kitchen that was quite loud (against the quiet location) when we had the window open, but not terrible nit pick: the room was lovely, clean and neat, but weirdly the cables for the TV were just hanging haphazardly and just looked messy

Location, the views, the staff, the building, dinner was lovely

Itemised bill for the meal. I sent coffee back cos was too bitter but not sure if I was charged for it.

Excellent
