Butley Priory, Near Woodbridge

*We felt as special guests because of the hospitality, the enthusiastic and friendly manners of the staff. *The staff is a real team that enjoys working together in Butley Priory. *Butley Priory is a beautiful, atmospheric ambiance. *Quiet, rural area; many foothpaths. *Communication about facilities before our stay was clear in the fact that Priory’s bed rooms can be difficult to reach for a 81 year old with walking limitations; based on that we choose to stay in the adjoining cottage and have breakfast and coffee in the Priory. We had a lot of privacy in the cottage since no other guests stayed there. That might have been a coincidence. Loved the logfires.

Not suitable for disabled. Not a negative point, but something to keep in mind, Butley Priory is a Bed and Breakfast. The cottacte was comfortable and sweet, but less atmospheric than the Priory.

Overall: We felt very welcome at Butley's Priory and we loved out stay. It was a special experience.  (108657805)

lovely house and surroundings. Charming and helpful staff. Lovely decoration and atmosphere

Slightly disconcerting plumbing,power shower made strange noises for sometime after it was turned off. Small bore wc- worrying.

Overall: Initial disappointment with Morroccan Room was more than adequately solved by staff helpfulness and change of room to really very very nice accommodation  (108632621)

Beautiful building, informal situation, brilliant breakfasts, friendly staff, wonderful location

Too Dusty, Bed too soft on outside edge needs replacing, you could not lock your room when you went out which meat you had to take your valuables with you which was inconvenient. Needed to take antihistamines because of the dust.

Overall: We had a relaxing break in a beautiful old building, with little or no intrusion. Satisfactory although a little pricy. It is beautiful and interesting place to stay but a bit basic for the price.  (108864485)

Interesting old building with romantic decor in attractive grounds with ample parking. Very comfortable bed and generous drink making facilities. Generous breakfast of excellent quality. Casual friendly atmosphere.

No coat hangers in our room (one jacket would have benefited from hanging overnight). We were informed breakfast was at 9.30. Only our group of 5 was present for breakfast yet the offer of fried OR scrambled eggs had to be a group decision, so 2 guests were disappointed!

Overall: An interesting and charming experience but the kindness and attention to detail evident in many areas could be extended to a wider consideration of guests' possible requirements.  (108879652)
