Friendly and welcoming . You go in through the pub, I was a bit wary at first as there were obviously locals but they and the staff are welcoming .
I can really recommend the food it was proper hearty home cooked style and portions were brilliant.
We stopped in a pod ( despite me making a mistake and not booking a pod) they could see I was disappointed and changed us . I think maybe when booking check you’ve booked the right thing !! The pod was clean and cosy with all you would need . The bed was comfy and we slept well.
Parking - lots of parking as they have a car park .

Awful one night stay in a pod strewn with cigarette ends in a plant pot outside the door, a shower that didn't work, door that didn't open, bathroom door that didn't open without a struggle and barely edible breakfast that hadn't been anywhere near a chef.

Lovely friendly, family run pub. Stayed a couple of nights, the room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. Food was really good, and the breakfast was amazing! Would definitely stay again, and recommend to anyone wanting a short break.

We booked a cabin at the last minute because we wanted to visit Sutton Hoo. We found our room (Hare Room), to be spotlessly clean, with everything we needed for a simple, overnight stay. The member of staff who welcomed us, was very friendly and professional. He was able to recommend local food places and he took us to our room and explained about parking etc, too. We forgot to tell anyone that we didn't want breakfast but the young man came over and knocked on the door so that we didn't miss the opportunity. Ideal for an overnight stay. Thank you!

We booked a room here as we were visiting the area and friends. The room we booked was comfortable and clean with good facilities. Tea and coffee making and a tv. Bed linen very soft and excellent quality. Breakfast was a full English and delicious. This has recently been taken over and we will definitely be recommending to our family and friends!

My wife and I went to The Butchers Arms for a meal one evening around a week ago. We did wonder if it was actually open as it was so overgrown and unkempt outside, but decided looks could be deceiving! My wife had a burger and I had chicken, the chicken was overcooked and dry, my wife had a burger and the bun had obviously been microwaved as it was chewy! Would have mentioned it to the woman serving had she seemed in the least bit interested (blond with glasses) we stayed for a couple of drinks as we were meeting up with friends. Around 8.30 a chap, we assumed to be the chef, came out and stood at the bar and proceeded to down several pints, chatting to anyone that would listen getting notably louder with each drink, moaning about work. We decided at this point to leave as it was getting very uncomfortable. Very disappointed as we don't come to visit very often, had eaten here a few years ago and a very nice meal.

I am giving 4 stars because this accommodation has great potential. We were given a very warm welcome even though we had arrived in the middle of a very busy Sunday lunch service. The owners have not been in place long and have obviously worked very hard to get everything in place for visitors. The accommodation was a self contained unit in the grounds of the pub. It was very clean but small. The mismatched bedding was fine by us but may annoy others. The ensuite with walk in shower was modern and very clean but a bit cramped. Breakfast is ordered the previous evening which I think is reasonable for a small establishment. The breakfast on time and my poached eggs were perfect and my husband's full English was well-cooked with very generous portions. There was ample parking.
