We enjoyed our night at The Abbey Hotel and spending time in Bury St. Edmunds. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Access to car park is very tight especially for larger cars. It is an old building matched by the furnishings etc. which did make it feel a bit like a care home in places! The en-suite in our room could do with some tlc and the toilet seat definitely needs a deep clean or replacing. Hubby enjoyed his breakfast, mine not so much as the eggs were overcooked. That said, overall we had a good stay.

The hotel was rather pleasant, the staff were really friendly and helpful. It has an oldie worldy feel about it and this also is expressed in the decor, if this is the ambiance you are after then this is the place for you. Breakfast was really nice and there was a good variety on offer. They were very accomodating with regards to car parking, we were allowed to leave the car in the car park whilst we went in to the town after checkout. A nice touch. My only down side to this was the price, as nice and pleasa t as it was it in my opinion does not warrant the price tag of £170 for the night we paid.

The property was tastefully furnished which reflected its historical past. There was a spacious sitting room for use by guests and a kitchen equipped for the heating and simple cooking of meals. The tasty breakfasts were cooked to order with locally sourced ingredients. There was a small but pleasant garden with suitable seating areas. The staff were always welcoming, helpful and friendly. It was an easy 12 minute walk into the cathedral area and town. We had a very comfortable stay although we would have preferred one of the slightly bigger rooms had one been available. I should like to have revisited with a friend but there are no twin rooms at the property.

We were not staying in the main hotel building but in a separate cottage. When we arrived the heating had not been switched on & the building was cold & took several hours to warm up requiring us to keep our costs on. The bathroom was very small & cramped. The arm chairs were hard & uncomfortable. There was very little space for our luggage. Considering all this it was very expensive including a surcharge we were not expecting. When we queried this there was no one to provide an explanation.

The property was tastefully furnished which reflected its historical past. There was a spacious sitting room for use by guests and a kitchen equipped for the heating and simple cooking of meals. The tasty breakfasts were cooked to order with locally sourced ingredients. There was a small but pleasant garden with suitable seating areas. The staff were always welcoming, helpful and friendly. It was an easy 12 minute walk into the cathedral area and town. We had a very comfortable stay although we would have preferred one of the slightly bigger rooms had one been available. I should like to have revisited with a friend but there are no twin rooms at the property.

I booked this hotel as a treat for my mother and father. I just spoke to my Dad. He said the hotel was great. Very accessible, nice room, easy check-in, and only a short walk into town. On top of that, he said the breakfast was the BEST hotel breakfast he has ever had. I'll definitely be booking again... but next time it's for ME!

We had a lovely warm welcome on arrival and attentive service throughout our stay. Room was brilliant, lovely character and very warm and cosy. All amenities we needed for our stay. Wonderful choice of hot breakfast dishes which were cooked and presented to a high standard and accompanied by fruits, yogurt, nuts, seeds, toast, preserves etc etc. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful charming hotel and will definitely stay again when in the area.

Great service from all the staff, comfortable quiet accommodation only 15 mins walk to the centre of Bury st Edmund’s. Lovely hot breakfast and convenient parking in the small courtyard of the hotel was very useful.

The room was very comfortable and the service was excellent. The building is very interesting and quirky but the top floor room had very steep steps. The breakfast was very good with a lot of hot choices.

The property was tastefully furnished which reflected its historical past. There was a spacious sitting room for use by guests and a kitchen equipped for the heating and simple cooking of meals. The tasty breakfasts were cooked to order with locally sourced ingredients. There was a small but pleasant garden with suitable seating areas. The staff were always welcoming, helpful and friendly. It was an easy 12 minute walk into the cathedral area and town. We had a very comfortable stay although we would have preferred one of the slightly bigger rooms had one been available. I should like to have revisited with a friend but there are no twin rooms at the property.

Great location and parking! A lovely quirky hotel where they have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable! Breakfast was cooked to order with a good choice. Pancakes and fruit was really good! Everything you needed in the room with great fans which were well needed in this heatwave! Had a really good nights sleep! Easy check out 😊

For an old, characterful building it was full of charm but all of the modern requirements. 10 electric sockets in our room! Bathroom very small but perfectly formed with good shower. Very comfortable bed and soft pillows. Turning into car park is very sharp and distance between buildings to get to it very narrow.
