“The Sorrel Horse Inn struck me as a genuine slice of Suffolk life, a grade two listed building with a proper pub at its heart. I particularly liked the sound of home-cooked meals using local ingredients and a garden big enough for families and events. It's handy for Ipswich and the A14, but feels like a destination in itself, especially if you have a dog in tow.”

friendly staff ample parking space excellent breakfast damp smell uncomfortable bed fixed shower head
the staff was friendly and cute i found plenty of parking space available the english breakfast was also excellent. the room i stayed in had a huge television. i would certainly consider staying here again. the staff were very helpful . the food at the bar was great.
the room had an unpleasant damp smell the bed was not comfortable and the bedding felt sticky the room felt cramped with the furniture it had. the power points used an extension gang. also the shower head was fixed and water jetted out of the door when i tried to turn it on. i could not find anywhere to put shampoo in the shower.

average stay, some issues
the staff were efficient during dinner.
the room smelled strongly of dampness, especially in one corner (i suspect the managers knew about it). the bedside unit had been pulled forward, likely to improve air circulation there, but the smell was still noticeable.
