    "Menu could be a bit more extensive." (108426001)

    All very good, would recommend the hotel. Not cheap though !

    Address on web site is appalling. Is it in Thorpeness or Aldeburgh ? look at the website ! No mention of Lakeside Avenue where the hotel is located, arriving in the dark was a nightmare. Access from northbound A12 towards Thorpeness/Aldeburgh is lethal in the dark.

    "An excellent hotel with a good restaurant and excellent cooked breakfast. The bacon was particularly good. Local I am guessing. " (108686616)

    Waitress who took our food order was friendly and welcoming. Both myself and my partner were impressed by her manner. We stayed in the superior which included a very large bed and wonderful views of the course.

    Could check out be a little later. 12:00 perhaps.

Large room,huge bed,comfortable lounge area with settee and french doors onto patio area.Hotel in beautiful setting beside a lake and lovely gardens.Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent." (108891299)

    Very pleasant room and extremely pleasant lady on reception when we checked in.

    The service in the restaurant could have been more prompt and attentive.

    Great location, clean spacious room.Beautiful surroundings. Food at breakfast was excellant.

    Services at breakfast was slow and slighty disorganised. Did not appreciate someone attempting to come into our room around 9.00am to clean and service.

    "Absolutely great - I will be recommending to others." (107410519)

    Staff - they were brilliant. Very helpful & extremely friendly. Room - when the renovations are finished, it will be excellent. Location - absolutely beautiful.

    I think it would have been better to have locks on teh windows, particularly as it was on the ground floor, and I was a lone female traveller. The shower could have done with being a bit more powerful - you couldn't wash your hair with the lack of pressure in that one. No mobile phone reception to speak of? But not sure there's anything you can do about that, actually.

    Friendly staff, good food / wine at reasonable prices. Relaxing and comfortable.

    Noisy plumbing in bathroom very annoying at night.

    "Weather was unusually fine!" (107228112)

    Very impressed by follow up phone call, after on-line booking, regretting that restaurant would be closed but offering to book an alternative. All staff very pleasant and helpful. Location glorious!

    Suggest the cast concrete coping stones on the terrace wall be rendered and whitewashed.

    Attractive location; spacious bedrooms; clean with tasteful decor; well-mannered and informative staff.

    Hotel not easy to find from main road. No tea bags on hospitality tray in bedroom. No changing facilities at Country Club [tennis courts situated]

    "It was a good solid conservative sort of place-did all it appeared to say it did and an excellent location for discovering a delightfully interesting and under explored part of the world." (107230049)

    Delightful garden to stroll around in the evening and an unusual, quaint little hamlet on hand in a setting very reminiscent of colonial Kenya in its heyday with a touch of Buchan's 39 Steps thrown in. Nostalgic if thats what suits.

    There was a very strong smell of tobacco smoke in the bathroom overnight-so bad it needed the air vent on all night to stop the smoke coming under the doors.

  • 8/10 Richard ( Volwassen paar)

    "Comfortable in an relaxed setting. We weren't there for the golf, but recognise that golfers should get a lot out of it." (108031134)

    Lovely setting, plenty of local interest, Dolphin Inn down the road provided a fantastic meal. Room was a very good size.

    Only "picky" point would be that their sign is parallel to the road - it would be more helpful to have one that is at right angles so that someone driving a car can spot without endangering the local populace.

    "Overall experience very good. Excellent location with views out over wetlands. Room very spacious with all facilities. Restaurant food and choice excellent. Breakfast especially with loads of choice including smoked haddock, kippers, waffles, as well as the usual full english and continental choice. Really it is part of the golf club with lots of players in the restaurant and bar but not a problem." (97468558)

    "We knew that this was a golf club but we didn't feel particularly welcomed into the club as non golfers! Although no-one was rude, it would have been nice to have been made to feel that we were just as important as the people playing golf - somehow we didn't experience that. The food was excellent though and the service was very good in the dining room." (97825206)

    I liked the fluffy white towels and dressing gowns and the fact that the towels were changed each day, despite only staying 2 nights. I also liked the goodies left in the bathroom, especially the plastic duck!

    I disliked the rattling door to the balcony, as it was very windy and the door rattled all night, so I didn't get a good night's sleep!

    "We chose this hotel from the on-line description and reviews and the fact that it was near to the coast,and we were not disappointed. We are not golfers but in fact this made no difference and we found the view from the restaurant over the golf course interesting. Also we found the history and development of Thorpeness fascinating and would certainly come again for a longer stay as it is an excellent base to explore the surrounding area, as this time we were en-route to visit relatives." (99986684)

    The beautiful view of the Meare from the bedroom balcony. The sunset. The peace and tranquility and and opportunity for birdwatching.

    Noisy water system at times. Fire doors bang when closing.

    "My one complaint about the overall experience is the check-in and check-out times (2pm and 10am respectively). Happily, we were permitted some flexibility for checking in but 10am is, in my view, an unfortunate check-out time. I would suggest that - at least on the Sunday of a weekend break - the check out time should be midday. Outside of this, I strongly recommend the hotel." (99416190)

    Very spacious, clean rooms. The location is wonderful being right on the coastline within spitting distance of Aldeburgh.

    "We had come for a weekend 'theatre' break at Snape Maltings. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly creating a relaxed atmosphere. The facilities were excellent and we all had a really lovely time (and that was without the 'boys' having a game of golf! Given the position of the hotel it would be good to have more specific information on bird watching etc. and maybe a 'twitchers' book recording sightings of all local wildlife. Any relevant information is available on your web site although direct e-mail contact with the golf club would be useful if not already available. PLEASE could you ensure that there is natural yogurt available at breakfast. It is only a small thing but some people do not like sugar in everything. Thanks" (3305492188)

    Spacious and light rooms, good tea and coffee facilities, excellent information.

    Car Parking was a little bit limited on the Saturday night otherwise no complaints at all.

    Very spacious bedroom with separate seating area with colour television. The restaurant had a nice ambience overlooking the 3rd tee of the adjacent golf course. The food was outstanding, compliments to the chef!

    The bar area was rather tired in terms of furnishings and the wooden floors made the area noisy and echoey.

    "Overall an excellent venue - food in the restaurant for Dinner was very good and good value. The Full English was one of the best I've had. The rooms were comfortable & clean, the double bed was wider than the norm but the bathrooms are perhaps showing their age" (3305310235)

    situation of hotel was very pleasant

    unfortunately because of the closeness of the mere there were a lot of flies in the public areas of the Hotel
