What guests think
Across recent reviews, The Bushel by Greene King Inns comes across as a welcoming pub with rooms in a handy town centre spot, providing a straightforward base for visits to Bury St Edmunds.
Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and smooth check-in. Rooms are often dated or basic, with occasional pub or neighbour noise, warm temperatures in hot weather, and limited bedside plugs, though showers are frequently strong and some beds comfortable. Cleanliness feedback varies from very clean rooms to reports of mould and grubby carpets, and while breakfast is widely praised, other meals range from enjoyable to underwhelming with one stay lacking dinner service. Best suited to short, good-value stays in a characterful setting rather than a polished, modern hotel.

A characterful pub/hotel in a lovely street (with bunting) that’s full of interesting small shops. Like many pubs these days, it’s tired but v. clean and they’re clearly trying cosmetic improvements : modern wallpaper, curtains, etc. Staff are charming and welcoming. Parking was fine - directions to small pub car park were simple to follow. Good atmosphere (Friday night) but nice and quiet in our room. Meal was nicely presented - but much more curry sauce, please, and pastry on meat pie was too thick. Cooked breakfast was excellent - but croissants should really be warm and freshly baked or just stick to Danish pastries. More info about local beers in the bar would be good (!) Otherwise, the location is perfect : minutes from shops, museum and cathedral. All worth a visit. Thanks for a pleasant stay but some more basic updating IS still required, eg carpets, grouting, sanitary suites.

The location of the hotel was perfect in the centre of Bury St Edmunds with the addition of free parking. The breakfast was good and the portions excellent. We had drinks at the bar & all the staff we dealt with were great. Thank you for providing a very comfortable stay in Bury St Edmunds.

All in all our stay at The Bushel was very good. We only stayed for one night, which was very comfortable. The only thing i picked up on was a minor house keeping point. Someone has cleaned a cup out in the bathroom and shaken the water out. this had left dark water spots on the wall in front of the sink. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order, and was very nice. Interaction with all the staff was very pleasant, and friendly. Great little place for an overnight stay!

A comfortable bed but everything else about the room was dire. Black gunge all around the shower edges Only two dim ceiling bulbs working Nowhere to charge a phone by the bed (not a single plug socket) Walls with holes and missing plaster Nasty black stains in the toilet bowl Worn and smelly carpet A sharp edge on the shower tray that gouged my ankle Walls as thin as cardboard Plus I arrived back after the theatre and the pub was closing up. I managed (just) to bang on a window and get someone to let me in. Five minutes later, I would have been left on the deserted street with no way in. No-one told me what or if there was an out-of-hours at arrangement

Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. Bed was very comfortable and room was lovely, with a huge window, though the room could use some updating - just one spotlight bulb in the ceiling and then lots of lamps around made it quite dark with the curtains closed; no usable plug sockets by the bed (wont bother everyone, but it was awkward for me); and the TV was small and not internet enabled. Just silly issues, but it's the kind of thing I would have found annoying if I was staying longer than a night. Would definitely stay again though.

Property was fine, though very warm weather and partly opening window meant room was very hot at night. Fan/heater was available but, when used solely as a fan, was ineffectual. Bury St. Edmunds itself was a lovely place to visit. Friendly people, walkable, excellent pubs and food options, great market, decent shopping. Will definitely visit again.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Bushel and it was in a great location, very near to the town centre. Obviously an old building but Green King have done the perfect renovations and updates on the rooms, it was very comfortable. Our room was light and airy, the ensuite bathroom left me with bathroom envy with its full size shower cubicle. Liquid soap and shower gels provided and the bath towels were massive and fluffy. Our bed was a bit soft and the pillows a bit hard but we find this in many hotels but it was okay for a couple of nights. A kettle and tea tray was also provided. Being a pub with hotel rooms, the food choices were good and tasted great and the breakfasts were wonderful. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Bury St Edmunds. Have to also mention the staff, they are all very lovely .

Our 4 days at the Bushel felt like a home and we are actually sad to leave everyone. But it was not a goodbye because we will definitely be coming back and seeing everyone again. This was the best experience we’ve ever had being away from home. We love you guys.

A characterful pub/hotel in a lovely street (with bunting) that’s full of interesting small shops. Like many pubs these days, it’s tired but v. clean and they’re clearly trying cosmetic improvements : modern wallpaper, curtains, etc. Staff are charming and welcoming. Parking was fine - directions to small pub car park were simple to follow. Good atmosphere (Friday night) but nice and quiet in our room. Meal was nicely presented - but much more curry sauce, please, and pastry on meat pie was too thick. Cooked breakfast was excellent - but croissants should really be warm and freshly baked or just stick to Danish pastries. More info about local beers in the bar would be good (!) Otherwise, the location is perfect : minutes from shops, museum and cathedral. All worth a visit. Thanks for a pleasant stay but some more basic updating IS still required, eg carpets, grouting, sanitary suites.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Bushel and it was in a great location, very near to the town centre. Obviously an old building but Green King have done the perfect renovations and updates on the rooms, it was very comfortable. Our room was light and airy, the ensuite bathroom left me with bathroom envy with its full size shower cubicle. Liquid soap and shower gels provided and the bath towels were massive and fluffy. Our bed was a bit soft and the pillows a bit hard but we find this in many hotels but it was okay for a couple of nights. A kettle and tea tray was also provided. Being a pub with hotel rooms, the food choices were good and tasted great and the breakfasts were wonderful. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Bury St Edmunds. Have to also mention the staff, they are all very lovely .

Friendly helpfull staff. Comfortable & clean in need of a bit of TLC . Shower looked good but didn't use it... my fault as I was put off by large window in bathroom which had a net curtain, I didn't notice till too late the blind! Very good location for town, cathedral/gardens & Apex. Got car in their car park which is small not sure where you would park if no spaces.

We had a lovely stay at the Bushel for a weekend in Bury St Edmunds. Free parking, friendly staff and a great breakfast! Lots of character and charm in this 17 century coaching inn and still a buzzing pub until closing time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our night at the Bushel Inn. The accommodations were simple, but lovely. Right in the heart of the town..a perfect location to walk to everything. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Very concerned about state of one of food service staff, decided not to eat at The Bushel at all, not dinner and not breakfast. Fortunately, there is a good cafe nearby for breakfast. For the record, the stay was greatly spoiled by atrocious state of 'townspeople'.

The hotel room was very clean & tidy but the furniture, carpet, lighting were very worn & needed a significant upgrade. Staff very nice & breakfast good ,but restaurant meal uninspiring. Hotel is a pub & conveniently located for the centre of town, but also a little noisy.

Our stay was just for 3 days. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and clean with a lovely comfortable bed and a great walk in shower. The food was very good so we ate in on two nights. Generally the hotel was in need of refurbishment but this did not detract from our enjoyment.

We always come back here when we go to Bury! Such amazing place lovely rooms and staff are amazing. You would think it would be very noisy being in a pub, however its not at all! Parking can be right but manageable! Slap bang in the town of Bury. Just a 2 min walk to the official town centre. Food in the bushel is lovely as always. Staff are so friendly.
