First time at this hotel and ended up missing the turning and going down the A120. Added 30 minutes to my journey. However the hotel is very nice and the staff were friendly and the room was clean. Help yourself breakfast and you need to ask for eggs that are not scrambled.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pillows weren't the most comfortable but still had a good sleep

We stayed for just one night as we were having a school reunion nearby, so we didn't try the restaurant. We didn't have hreakfast either, so can't comment on it. The location is easy to find - just off the A12. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and the bed was comfy. Easy car parking. Exactly what we required.

This hotel is so lovely! So clean and comfortable! Me, my partner and our little boy stayed here for 2 nights this week! We stayed due to visiting Colchester zoo and other local attractions! The room was clean and comfortable! Bath and shower were both great! Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Staff were friendly. We had breakfast here both mornings, pretty standard but still nice. Only bacon, sausages, beans and eggs on the hot buffet. Cereals, fruit, yogurts and pastries too. So enough choice. We also had an evening meal here which was standard ‘pub’ type food. We would stay again if we were ever in the area. Thank you

They have multiple large signs outside their hotel advising food deals only for you to get seated, more hungry then to be told after you had chosen your food, the deal is no longer available at all. I also rang the company to make sure the deal was on and was assured it was. The staff did not care at all.

From the outside to the bar and restaurant it looks lovely but the room was a disappointment! The rooms are very gloomy! Our room was filthy! Cobwebs around the window, stains on the walls, dirty cups on tray, thick build up of dust around the edges of the carpet and skirting boards. The breakfast was awful, the staff! Not the most friendly! The little girl on the breakfast shift was awful, huffed and puffed at my husband when he went for breakfast within the allocated time to find there was nothing left and asked her if he could get some breakfast we had already paid for! My husband spoke to manager who agreed it wasn’t good enough but did nothing about it! Definitely will NOT be staying there again or any dragonfly hotel. Bury St Edmunds is the same just the receptionist are more rude!
