We stayed three nights in a double room on a leisure break. This hotel looked startlingly small when we arrived. After we'd dragged our wheely cases across the gravel from the car park to the front door (quite exhausting), we were warmly welcomed. Our room, number 1, cost a bit extra but was a very good size and clean and... more

First visit to the area. We stayed in family room #115. Reasonably priced considering our American dollar is so weak. Louise at the front desk/reception made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in the hotel. We enjoyed good service and food in the dining area. Our bedroom was clean and comfortable. Our bathroom had hairdryer, soap, shampoo and... more

I chose the Gathouse hotel for a business trip as it offered free wifi access. Both of the rooms that I have stayed in have been oversized, clean and comfortable. The first room that I was given had disabled access and I have to say it was not a patch on the room 2 upstairs which was very nice. The... more

Small hotel in the outskirts of town. Reception and common rooms have a warm atmosphere and comfortable furniture. My room was very well maintained with a good bed and a good chair which needed cleaning. The appearance could be improved by decorating the walls with more pictures or prints. Flat screen TV with regular British channels only. Bathroom was very... more

When we drove up, I didn't expect much because of the area it was located - there was nothing fundamentally WRONG with it, it just didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. However, once we stepped inside, all doubts were banished. Charming decor, a small but intimate bar and dining area, lovely staff and clean, fresh and stately-home inspired... more

A fantastic gem of a hotel, off the beaten track but only 2 miles out of Ipswich, run by a Manager who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, high quality food, cooked to order, eg sea bass with local fresh vegetables and home baked deserts to the same high standard. The rooms... more

We had a mini break for a couple of nights in Ipswich and it was amazing. We arrived at the Gatehouse hotel at 2pm on the Thursday and were greeted quickly and shown our room. The room itself was exceptionally clean, the bed was really comfy, with lovely pillows and a very warm duvet. The flat screen TV was positioned... more

We stayed at this hotel with no prior knowledge or experience which is unusual for us. Lovely warm and friendly welcome by the manager, rooms were clean and fresh, bathrooms were a tad small and the gardens are charming with lots more potential. Dinner menu though limited was interesting and the result was very acceptable. The breakfast offering was very... more
