Our room was spotlessly clean, all the staff were warm and friendly, dining was excellent, all our meals were fresh and well presented.

Seckford Hall Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We like Seckford Hall for it's traditional ambience and previously had stayed here in 1977 for the Aldeburgh Festival - we found the programme for the year we had attended at the Red House in Aldeburgh. Our visit this time was to see the site of the historical dig at Sutton Hoo. The hotel is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. There have been a few changes in 50 years and the hotel is well used as a wedding venue. Occasionally there was disco music until midnight but it did not cause us too much disturbance. Breakfast was excellent - all hot food served fresh at the table and a wide choice of cold buffet. We did not get round to eating in the restaurant but there are plenty of good places to eat in nearby Woodbridge."

"We had a comfortable overnight stay (very comfortable bed!). Having been to a wedding reception that day, we didn’t want much to eat, but found just what we wanted, even though the menu is not extensive. The food was good and the fish and chips are obviously a popular choice, and looked delicious. Breakfast was good. Staff very helpful and friendly."
