Things to do in Suffolk
1. Salthouse Harbour Hotel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2187 reviews
This artfully designed boutique Hotel and Restaurant in Suffolk reflects luxury and dazzles in the waterfront of Ipswich's vibrant Harbour quayside at night. The Salthouse Harbour Hotel goes beyond what you expect and exudes its 4 star status in every curious corner, eccentric sofa and unstuffy cushion. The sea-salted brickwork exterior has been restored & rejuvenated into a ship shape contemporary warehouse of rich modern interiors and rooms adorned with vintage furniture, sculptures and eclectic art. Within its comfy chic decor, although the mood is friendly and relaxed, the staff are professionally attentive to your every need. The cuisine is exciting and the popularity of the Salthouse Eaterie fills this delightful waterfront restaurant as soon as the tables are laid.
Brilliant time
Reviewed By Fearless24580337586Had a brilliant time here. Room was amazing! Had views over the quay with a small balcony. Great for people watching. Had the set dinner in the restaurant with a cocktail, all very good & breakfast was lush! Not much parking but they took our car to overflow car park 5 mins away. Will definitely return

Southwold Delight
Reviewed By 189steveoWe have visited Southwold for over 30 years and enjoyed seeing our daughters have fun on the beach, but couldn't afford to stay in the Swan. Move on a number of years, daughters left home and mortgage paid we can spend a bit on ourselves and the Swan was our first treat. Did we make the right choice ?....yep, great location, great staff who wanted to make our stay just right and nothing was too much. We enjoyed the restaurant on our first night and really enjoyed the food and service, first tip try the malted butter, scrummy. On the second day we opted for the afternoon tea, it was lovely, great value and just kept coming, second tip....don't eat much during the day to keep room for the afternoon tea. The breakfast choice was great and like the other food of great quality ? Third tip, even if the hotel bar, restaurant or lounge looks busy, as a resident the hotel will always find room for you...makes you feel special. We stayed in room 25, and even at nearly 6ft 3" I found cooking my leg into the bath quite a step, so tip four, shorties you have been warned ⚠️ The room was large and comfortable and spick and spam by the cleaning team and after a busy day a lovely quiet retreat ? Some recommendations for the hotel for room 25....1/ nowhere to put your towel when showering. There is a large wooden panelled area, screw a towel ring or hook to it. 2/ the hose for the shower is too short (you can get longer ones) and there is ample travel on the shower head hanger. 3/ pillows, you only supply either feather or hollow fibre, no choice if you prefer a firmer pillow, most hotels now offer more choice. 4/ no information about the hotel etc left in the room, sure you could go online, but don't always want to look at a screen.

Excellent place with excellent people
Reviewed By nicholaswE4283OUStayed here for my girlfriends birthday. We stayed in the snape room which I think was room 313. The room had bluetooth speakers which was an awesome touch! We loved it- staff were really friendly and cool. Only thing that could be improved was the swimming pool- needs major improvements as it seems like a wasted space Cheers, Nick
4. The Angel Hotel
Overall Ratings
4 based on 1694 reviews
This Georgian ivy clad 4 star boutique hotel and restaurant in Suffolk surprises with a twist of urban chic. Our Suffolk hotel is right in the heart of Bury St Edmunds town centre and everything is just a step from here. Explore winding, cobbled, shop filled streets and a plethora of ancient architecture on the doorstep. Once inside, The Angel Hotel is a curious contrast of comfy contemporary design with touches of exotic grandeur. Warm leather sofas vie for your company in the lounge, which is filled with curiosities, pop art, eccentric oddities and cool vintage furniture. It is a hotel of many different aspects all artfully blended together into an exciting package and the bedrooms are no exception. The Angel Eaterie has a great reputation and dining here is a culinary treat.
Wonderful night away.
Reviewed By clarissap293We stayed in the ivy suite with copper bath. Huge room which was absolutely spotless. Every member of staff we met were friendly and helpful. We didn’t eat in the evening at the hotel but did have the cooked breakfast which was delicious. Great cocktail in the bar too.

Spoilt hen party
Reviewed By alicemQ7696YMUnfortunately this hotel left the whole party disappointed. On arrival the rooms were wrong, and we had to move rooms (we booked twins and had been allocated king beds) an error that would have been easily forgotten had the rest of the stay been good. The spa was lovely. I had a lovely massage. The spa wasn't overly busy so we were able to sit and use facilities as we wanted. Thankfully lunch was included as we would not have been happy to have paid the prices listed for a very small, very average lunch Evening meal. Included in our package was £30 allocation for dinner. This barely covered a main course on the Al a carte menu. There was only one vegetarian option. In the end we ordered off the bar menu. 2 lemon soles, 1 beef burger, 1 pasta dish and 1 fish and chips. On arrival 3 of the meals were cold. They took these away, reheated 2 and cooked a fresh burger. All 3 of these meals were overly seasoned, and inedible. None of these meals were able to be finished. We spoke to the restaurant manager, he apologised and offered a new main course. Unfortunately by this point, service had been so slow we were now over 2 hours in and couldn't face waiting about hour for another main course to be cooked. The manager offered to reimburse the cost of these main courses, and deducted them off our end bill. When our bill arrived. Only £40 had been deducted, not covering the cost of even 2 of these meals and we had been charged twice for our drinks. We spoke to the duty manager who went through our bill for over half an hour. We had to fight to have the drinks corrected, and our evening meal reimbursed. To start with they insisted it had been taken off, but they had removed if off the supplement. So they had reminbursed the £30 they had allocated us. Not a refund. In the end, I received an exact refund, penny for penny. Which I had to fight for. As a apology we were given a £9 bottle of prosecco. This whole experience completely undid the 'relaxing' spa break we had booked and paid good money for. The customer service was diabolical. We should never have had to fight for the refund we had been promised. The whole experience was shocking. We will not be recommending to anyone we know. Which is a shame as this hotel is in a very easy location for our families, and the grounds are beautiful. But unfortunately neither of those are enough when the experience was this bad.
6. Worlington Hall
Overall Ratings
5 based on 36 reviews
Privately owned and lovingly restored country house set in 5 acres of mature gardens set alongside the River Lark. A hidden gem nestled on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border, in the picturesque village of Worlington. The Hall is undergoing a full refurbishment and will offer a range of dining and drinking experiences, from bar snacks and brasserie classics to family fare and fine dining. Providing the perfect backdrop to your special occasion, be that a family celebration, impromptu drinks, romantic dinners or a sneaky nightcap. The Hall is situated between Cambridge, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds, all of which offer beautiful spots of attraction and are well worth a visit. The renovation has seen the development of the Birnam Bar, Piano Bar, Restaurant and our Private Dinning room. Each of these areas provide you with a different experience at The Hall and we recommend you give them all a try when you come to visit. Our River Bar is open from March till October and enjoys views along the River Lark. Our rooms aren't quite ready yet, but will be available early 2022.
Afternoon Tea on the Lawn
Reviewed By derek61We booked the afternoon Jubilee tea on the lawn. Weather sunny an warm. The setting by the river Lark is peaceful. The picnic is brought to you in a wicker hamper, includes sandwiches, sausage rolls, small eclairs, cheese and fruit scone with jam and cream and strawberries and cream. (see pics). The only problem was the is should have come with tea or coffee which we paid for but were not offered or actually seen over people with their drinks. This maybe an oversight, a bit better organisation is needed. That aside a first rate venue and grounds great place for a afternoon drinks, snacks or meal. Nice to see most of the renovations are nearing completion, some grounds work and bedrooms are left to complete I understand. What a change from the rundown hotel building and grounds they took over. All credit to the owners for that hard work.
7. Premier Inn Bury St Edmunds Town Centre Hotel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1057 reviews
Set right in the heart of this scenic market town, our Premier Inn Bury St Edmunds Town Centre hotel is a perfect base for exploring historic Suffolk.

Back at the hotel, you can look forward to a tasty meal in our Thyme restaurant, before relaxing on a super-comfy Hypnos bed, and watching the latest shows on your Smart TV.
Central location, great room, good breakfast ? value for money
Reviewed By johnhZ8913XTWe couldn’t have got better for the money, the hotel is situated in the heart of Bury St Edmunds within a 2 min walk of the cathedral and the gardens. The room was a decent size, clean and well equipped. We had breakfast at the hotel and the first morning wasn’t as good as the 2nd. Would stay here again happily.

Spa day

Fantastic stay
Reviewed By cheryleM865MNThe Fulcher Suite was amazing. The view from our room was just perfect. Nothing better than waking up to the sound of the sea in the morning. The hotel was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food in the restaurant was lovely. Couldn’t fault anything. Will definitely stay here again.
