What guests think
At Crown and Castle, reviewers frequently highlight warm, professional service, satisfying food at both dinner and breakfast, a tranquil village setting with scenic views and walks nearby, and thoughtful touches that make stays feel relaxed.
Rooms are generally comfortable and well-decorated, with several noting spacious garden rooms, quiet nights, and appealing views of the sea or castle. Dining feedback is strongly positive overall for quality, choice and local produce, with occasional critiques of finesse or atmosphere. Less positive notes include one tired outbuilding room, minor shower pressure issues, strict check-in enforcement for an early arrival, and a reported break-in where the response felt inadequate. Expect a comfortable, food-focused stay in a quiet, scenic village.

Unfortunately on our first night there was a break in. The glass in the back door of hotel was smashed. Our neighbours in the garden rooms told us someone had come into their room. We spoke to housekeeping and said we were concerned. We suggested chains on the doors could allay fears. That was not going to happen. We were given a chair to prop against the door!!!!

Really beautiful property set in a tranquil location. We stayed in the Keep, which was simply beautiful, our room had a private terrace that faced the castle so we had amazing views. We also enjoyed a couple of wines outside in the evening out there. The food was superb, we’re green tea drinking vegans, so we’re used to being treated as an afterthought, but the choice and quality was amazing. The staff were all friendly and jovial, which is incredible considering the hours that they work. The beds were the comfiest I have ever slept on in any hotel. I absolutely loved my stay, and I can unequivocally recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of staying.

Stopped here for the first time last night, for work, and what a lovely place it was to. Staff were extremely polite and the service was excellent throughout my stay. My room while not the largest I've stayed in was of a good size. A pleasing item in the room was a small flask containing real milk for a good old cupper, this is a rare find as most times you stop way they only provide that terrible hit milk, that spoils you first tea of the day. Food was of an excellent quality, I just wish I had had a better appetite to be able to make the most of what was on offer, but I didn't so I settled for corn fed chicken, which was great. Would I stop here again, absolutely.

Really dog friendly. We had a lovely garden room with direct access to a garden . Beautifully decorated with Uber modern bathroom, and thoughtful dog treats, towel etc. Super cosy hotel with fine dining and the best choice breakfast we’ve ever seen! Charming professional staff who were most attentive and accepting of our small dog. Orford is also a delight with lots to interest.

Very cute rustic but clean and renovated. Stayed in one of the cabins. Very comfortable and good sized with a small porch in the back leading to a nicely maintained garden. Staff are friendly and happy to help. Missed the dinner but the breakfast was excellent. The village is tiny with not much to do.

Our second one night stay over the festive period in one of the garden rooms. The room is spotless with a large comfortable bed. We had dinner in the main house and the service was excellent and the food really good. The presentation of the seafood risotto could have been better but the taste was still good. The sea bass was however well presented and was tasty. Just to top off the service, I forget my trainers and they are sending them back to me by post.

Great spot and wonderful staff. Not sure about the rooms in the actual hotel but the room we had situated in the outbuilding were very tired and in desperate need of an update. Unfortunately the bathroom wasn't very clean, and for over £200 per night, a little disappointing. Food in the restaurant in the evening was very good, lacking atmosphere but overall a peaceful evening.

The room was pristine, the breakfast was excellent and all the staff friendly and efficient. One member of staff, John, was particularly lovely and went out of his way to help us on the afternoon we arrived early before our room had been cleaned. He let us into the room to change for the wedding we were going to and gave us some towels to freshen up. Also, the following day he went out of his way to help find us a taxi which was proving very difficult!

Fabulous stay in this characterful hotel with amazing views, excellent breakfasts, attentive & helpful staff. Walks from the doorstep along the estuary (car not used); boat trip to bird sanctuary - and seals; pretty village with selection of shops and riverside tearoom serving wonderful fresh crab sandwiches: perfect.

Perfect balance between being looked after and switching off in idyllic surroundings. Will be back now we’ve found this gem of a location.

Stopped here for the first time last night, for work, and what a lovely place it was to. Staff were extremely polite and the service was excellent throughout my stay. My room while not the largest I've stayed in was of a good size. A pleasing item in the room was a small flask containing real milk for a good old cupper, this is a rare find as most times you stop way they only provide that terrible hit milk, that spoils you first tea of the day. Food was of an excellent quality, I just wish I had had a better appetite to be able to make the most of what was on offer, but I didn't so I settled for corn fed chicken, which was great. Would I stop here again, absolutely.

We had a lovely few days over the bank holiday weekend. We had dinner twice in the restaurant and both times the food was excellent with impeccable service. Breakfast was equally as good. The staff could not be more helpful. We had an amazing view from our room looking out to sea. Would definitely recommend.

Not bad but unfortunately the food was not up to the standard we have been used to in our previous visits. Dinner could not really be described as "fine dining" and breakfast was a bit uninspiring. The garden room is lovely but the mattress was a little bit too soft for my taste. Service is still good however.

The room was pristine, the breakfast was excellent and all the staff friendly and efficient. One member of staff, John, was particularly lovely and went out of his way to help us on the afternoon we arrived early before our room had been cleaned. He let us into the room to change for the wedding we were going to and gave us some towels to freshen up. Also, the following day he went out of his way to help find us a taxi which was proving very difficult!

Gorgeous place, very clean, lovely staff, high quality food. I can’t believe the breakfast is included because it was 5 star quality. The only note would be to add some conditioner as part of the toiletries in the room and maybe some smaller keys. Would recommend and stay again!

The hotel is in an idylic situation close to the castle, town square with easy access to great walks, that explore the surrounding village/town and countryside. Food is good, as are the rooms, car parking is tight but accessible. Plus loads of things to do within easy reach. Staff were all helpful, polite and made you very welcome.

We only stayed for 1 night but we were so impressed with how comfy, clean and spacious the lodge was and also the location of the hotel such a beautiful setting with the castle very close by really picturesque. Hotel staff were brilliant very helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. The breakfast which was included in the price was delicious and the eggs Benedict were perfect with a nice runny yolk. We’ll definitely stay again as Orford is such a beautiful quaint place to visit.
