I booked a dinner, bed & breakfast deal for my wife's birthday & it was nice to find somewhere like this at a reasonable price only 1 hour away. It wasn't the nightmare to find as some visitors had reported & we arrived just after lunch, but had to wait in the bar for our room to be readied. No... More

I have noticed that most of your reviewers are English, so here is a review from a visitor from Canada. We were in Ipswich on June 11, 2012 because my husband's grandparents had lived there and we were reliving his childhood memories. Well, trust me, we will have memories of this hotel! We only stayed one night but our lasting... More

Thank you for posting your review of you stay last June. We are sorry that the hotel did not meet your expectations. The hotel is undergoing redecorations, but due to the style and age of hotel, it does possess considerable character, which many of our customers tell us that it adds to the charm of the property.

We stayed here last night and I always have assumed that this hotel was classy and upmarket. The rooms were clean and acceptable. However the food was diabolical. It was not even on the scale of good "pub grub" I had surf and turf, the steak was dry, the prawns were so small I had to put my glasses on... More

I stayed at Belstead Brook a couple of weeks ago when in Ipswich on business. The fact that I have stayed there before and will be staying again next week probably tells you all you need to know.
