On my first morning I had to go out very early so they laid out everything I could possibly need on the table in my room, including milk and butter in a fridge, On my second morning I had a full English breakfast in my own private eating area with a view of the grounds . The meal was well cooked, my coffee topped up and the toast and marmalade just right. The food was good, the location was delightful and service splendid.

There was nothing at all to dislike, quite the opposite , If you read all the other reviews you will hear the same, but what I particularly liked was the attention to detail, those little things that make a big difference.

Not sure where to start but we loved every second of our stay, which was so memorable, relaxing and such a treat. From the moment we arrived, to the time we left, we were so well looked after, and nothing was too much trouble. We absolutely loved the two rooms we booked. Both were large with plenty of space and really delightful. Our hosts attention to detail in the rooms and bathroom, was incredible. Each day, both rooms and bathrooms were totally cleaned and refreshed. Breakfast was absolutely superb and such a treat for us all. I wish even the best hotels could take note of the delights served up by our hosts. Do try the exceptional full English - so delicious. We are now back to Muesli!!! We were blown away by the gorgeous gardens, and even though the weather was not that kind, we managed to enjoy drinks and nibbles and savour the fresh Suffolk air, the wonderful birdlife and quietness each evening on the lawn. Prior to our visit, our hosts sent us detailed notes on local restaurants & reliable taxi firms. We used this to book for the three nights and each venue and our taxi service more than met expectation. Whilst we loved Suffolk and had such a wonderful four days, nothing could beat the 7 x Star Greyhound Cottage experience. THANK YOU so much to Doug and Kay - truly masters of hospitality.

Everything we experienced was just superb - nothing could have been done better

Excellent breakfast beautifully served in our own dining room so we could eat and read the papers in peace - no requirement to make polite conversation as the occupants of the other room had their own very nice breakfast room- this was a big plus. Lovely building and wide ranging gardens with places to sit, Our hosts were kindness itself and we shall definitely rebook, perhaps for the larger suite on the ground floor as the access is easier. Kay and Doug ran their own hotel for many years and they know hospitality inside out.

Kay and I had a discussion about the rather small shower towels, but she has some larger ones available on request.

Lovely old house; great location; helpful and attentive hosts. The breakfast was good--with lots of moving parts--cereal and fruit; yogurts; breads; and the full English fry-up. The big hit here is the house, which is a beautiful half-timbered. early modern place. Our room was up some stairs and down a corridor but off by itself and quiet with a nice view of the sprawling well-tended garden. Clearly a lot of attention has gone into anticipating what guests might need and providing it--for example, toothpicks on the table. Everything seemed meticulously organized in support of visitors.

Our room was fairly cool but we chose not to turn on the two space heaters that were available.

I have already reviewed this inn but Booking.com has applied the review to the wrong room, which makes nonsense of the review. I booked 2 rooms: Deluxe Suite and Deluxe King Room. After staying I received 2 identical emails from Booking.com. There was no way of telling which email applied to which room. So I had to guess. Unfortunately, it was for the wrong room. You need to make 2 corrections. First, apply my review to the Deluxe Suite. Second, change your review request emails to make clear which booking they refer to.

Just about everything! Absolutely superb. Kay & Doug we’re the perfect hosts - a bit of chat but then left you to get on with breakfast! I knew I was staying in a 600 year old place when the bedroom floor goes uphill. The owners had thought of everything from our individual names on the gate to show where we should park to the automatic light to show you the gate latch on the dark. Just enough music playing at breakfast to give the room ambience but not intrusive. The bedroom maintained its historical feel but the bathroom was superbly modernised. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you

Absolutely nothing. Bravo

WOW!! I have stayed in hundreds of hotels during my working career, and this is one of the better ones. Where do I start? Doug and Kay were the most delightful of hosts and couldn't do enough for you. The room had everything, and I mean everything you could want. I could go on for hours trying to describe everything, but all I can say is, i was impressed.

Hitting my head several times on the low beams 😁. I got used to it in the end.

Absolutely delightful place to stay. Gorgeous 500+ year old building with stunning gardens. Our room (one of the larger ones I think) was filled with character and was such a unique place to stay. The couple who run the property were warm and welcoming on arrival and could not do enough for you. The breakfasts smelt amazing, just wish we were not so full from our dinner out the night before so we could have tried them! Will definitely return & highly recommend.

The property is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Easy to find with your name directing you to the designated parking space in the beautiful garden. Doug greeted us on arrival and showed us to our room. The room is fantastic, the bed is so comfortable and spacious. With hot drink making facilities and a beautiful breakfast every morning this is a perfect place to stay for relaxing and enjoying being together. The history of the inn is a great touch.

We hoped for a special stay in a lovely historic building that would both inspire and relax. Our hopes were significantly bettered in terms of the accommodation, location, the wonderful hosts who made us so genuinely welcome and the breakfasts were sensational. There was nothing that was not provided or offered and as frequent travellers this has been by far the most special of all. Thank you to Kay and Doug. 5 star plus

Absolutely nothing not to love. The only disappointment was leaving
