On-site dinners and the bar are frequently enjoyed, with good value and generous portions mentioned. A few guests report temperature-control and heating issues, occasional noise from events or nearby rooms, and some maintenance details such as older beds, minor bathroom flaws, or untidy outdoor areas. Expect a comfortable, well-located stay.

Quick business trip. Overnight stay. We chose the hotel knowing we would be arriving fairly late and they had parking on site, in-house restaurant, and breakfast (incl). We were not disappointed... lots of parking room, very welcoming, thoroughly enjoyable meal, good choice in the bar, and friendly breakfast waitress. Room was clean and in good condition, and the two single beds not squeezed together. Hope to return

Lovely hotel with a beautiful room and comfy bed. Food in the restaurant was amazing with huge portions. Let down was that the gravel leading to the ground floor cabins was deep and my powered wheelchair struggled so hubby had to push in places. This could be fixed by having a dedicated pathway leading to them as there is already a disabled parking space there although we were told the cabins were new and I assume the gravel was too so this may get better as it gets crushed by more vehicles. Also no mini fridge so no way to cool either the complementary bottled water or your own drinks and only a rather noisy fan (which squeaked) during a heatwave to keep you cool unless you spent your time at the bar/restaurant which seemed to have air con.

An amazing find, the staff are exceptional, Friendly, helpful and accommodating. The accommodation its self was above expected. We had a very clean, modern, spacious, comfortable room. Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice and freshly cooked. Dinner was great and reasonably priced. The live music was such a bonus. I would stay here again if the opportunity arises and recommend to anyone. A solid 10/10 from me.

Very friendly staff. I had the opportunity to order an evening meal (Sunday) which was excellent. Breakfast was included which again was excellent. Help yourself to cereal, fruit juice and DIY toast. I ordered the vegan hot breakfast which was brought to me on a plate, everything was hot and cooked to my liking. My room had plenty of space and was quiet, although you could hear other residents shutting their doors. It would have been nice to have had a separate table in the room apart from the dressing table and bedside tables. I found the hot water to be hot at any time of day. The one drawback was, that the grab rails on the bath where fixed, had black mould around the edges. Apart from that, everything else appeared clean and it would not deter me from rebooking again in the future.

Amazing!! This hotel has restored my faith in hotels!! Clean, Tastefully decorated, functional and full of staff who wanted to be there and treated you accordingly (even if they didn't they put on a bloody good show). Upgraded to a massive 4 poster room (bordering on suite) which was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. Had a meal in the bar and the lady serving behind the bar, serving food and everything else in between was just exceptional, best service i have had in a long 20 years of travelling for business (she even got me to stick to my diet!!) Food was excellent even though i did only have salad and not Pie!! Drinks reasonably priced and good selection. At breakfast was greeted by an equally enthusiastic member of staff and offered a quality range of continental of freshly cooked food, no stale buffet all hot food cooked to order but very little wait and possibly the best scrambled eggs i have ever had in a hotel. Well done Coach House you really have got it right

We arrived around 5pm and they were ready for us. We were shown to a virtually new room in a block in the hotel grounds. Our bed was extremely comfortable and there was a brand new tv and new furniture. The room was warm and tended to by the hotel staff each day. Everything worked as it should and there was no noise to interrupt our sleep. Breakfast was included in our room rate and was served hot and well prepared. All in all, there was nothing to complain about. We will use The Coach House again when we visit family in Wrentham which is within a convenient distance by car (15 minutes). There were many returning guests at the hotel, which says a lot about how nice it is. Thanks to the staff and management for making our stay a success, well done *****.

Had a lovely stay in a superior room. Every thing was very clean, in the room and the hotel bar/lounge. The room it's self was huge, we had a jacuzzi bath and a four poster bed. The bed was lovely and comfortable. All the staff were very attentive and chatty. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to give this hotel a go. The rooms are exceptional value compared to others in the area of the same price.

This is the second time staying at the Coach House and will stay here again when i am next in the area. The team are they have are wonderful. They make staying away feel like you are part of the family. They bent over backwards to make me feel welcome and as someone who works away every week and stays at different hotels this was wonderful. From check in to check out the team were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy. The restaurant had a wonderful selection of specials and main menu the only trouble i had was trying to pick what to eat. Breakfast was great. When they found out i needed to miss breakfast to attend an event early they made me up a bag to go. Breakfast on the second morning was something special with eggs bendict. Thank you to the team. I will be back.

There are key staff at The Coach House who are amazing - Faye, Rosie, Phillip, Louise. Great advisors on what to see and where to go in the local Region and all were wonderful recommendations. But i did find Dinner Service a little discombobulated on Saturday. The Bar/Restaurant team seemed a little overwhelmed with the busyness of the evening and there was only one person who was giving directive. It took over 20 mins to orderr food even after the chap came to take my order, but because I had to remind him to book in dinner reservation, he didn't come back, so I had to go to bar to order. A few areas for improvement - heating not working on some of the coldest nights so far this year - no heating turned on in the Dining Room during evening service, so need to wrap up warm - broken inner door handle on the Manor Room - broken shower dial - dusty radiators and cobwebs hanging from light fittings abd coving - initial request for additional flat sheet not fulfilled, so had to request again and remake bed to fit it in - moved the green velvet couch slightly and one of the legs was left behind, so obviously was already broken With a few refurbishments, this place would be wonderful.

We had a very quick overnight stay and wish we could have stayed longer . It is a beautiful hotel and the service is exceptional, we have stayed in 5 star hotels that don’t offer the service and friendliness this hotel offered . They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay . We were unable to make breakfast in the morning due to an early start but they immediately offered bacon sandwiches for us . These were brought to our room the following morning by Shaun ( lovely bloke ! ) and not only were we given sandwiches but yoghurt crisps drinks etc . Only one slight concern was that we did hear people in the room next to us talking but we still managed to sleep ! Beds fantastically comfy and huge ! Whole place spotless , we will definitely be coming back

I stayed in room 15 for the last two nights and woke up this morning to find that there was no hot water or heating. There is no information in the room about how to contact anyone so I called in on the outside line! I called at 6:45 am to find that the only person in is the chef! She promised to come back to me but by 7:50am had not! There is no-one on reception in the mornings (you pay in advance so no need to check-out) There is no-one on reception in the mornings to discuss anything with (you pay in advance so no need to check-out). I emailed them at 8am in the morning and never received a reply. So a cold shower on a cold day is not a good start to a working day. Not having anyone on site to deal with it apart from a chef who I am sure was very busy with the breakfast service.

It's near the seaside and also historical towns so there is lots to see and do within a short drive. We will definitely be going again.

A quiet location on the outskirts of Lowestoft where you will receive a personal welcome, good service and a comfortable, spacious and well prepared room….what’s not to like. Oh, the food is pretty good and reasonably priced too.

Really nice comfortable hotel. The room was spacious with everything you need, as was the bathroom. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food was excellent. Quiet location with a lovely terrace. I would definitely stay again.

We revisited this hotel as we had a comfortable stay in March and were warmly welcomed by all the staff then. This time was no different although the staff were busier but were just as helpful and its quieter position offroad is near a main bus route if you need it as we did. The breakfast choice is very good and the meals we had later were added to with a 'Specials Menu'. Plenty of space in the rooms we have stayed in and good Hospitality Tray and we slept well both times. We would stay there again if in the area.

We stayed here for a mini break. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and especially the two ladies who served us. Great sense of humour and nothing too much trouble. Room was spotless and bed very comfortable. The location is great with the transport museum next door and Southwold, Snape and Aldeburgh a short drive away. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and also return if we visit Suffolk again.

The coach house in Suffolk just on the edge of Lowestoft was a delightful place for our stay. They were dog friendly which was a plus as we were travelling with our dog, but it turned out to be one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at! Great property- very quiet in the main house , we had a family suite with a very comfy bed ( choice of hard or soft pillows!) great breakfast & extremely happy and friendly staff that helped to make the stay a pleasure! I had read great reviews on Expedia so imagined it would be good - but it surpassed my expectations. I would definitely return ( which is something I don’t always think!) Great job!

Lovely place to stay. Quiet, clean, well run and with friendly staff. The hotel is situated next to a Transport Museum (well worth a visit) and there is the bonus of good bus services to Norwich, Southwold and Lowestoft. When asked why we were staying in the area, we mentioned our anniversary and two glasses of bubbly were brought to our room within 5 minutes!

Perfect for long OR short stay, convenient for venturing further East to Lowstoft or Northwest to Norwich. If interested in transport, the Museum is next door --no more than 50yards.

My stay here after the refurbishment was such a surprise! The decor is lovely and has given me inspiration for my own home. The staff were the right amount of attentiveness, the food was amazing and the breakfast was delicious. The room was fresh and new and I loved the design. The bed was comfortable and courtyard location was so quiet. I am already looking for dates to book again!

Very friendly staff. I had the opportunity to order an evening meal (Sunday) which was excellent. Breakfast was included which again was excellent. Help yourself to cereal, fruit juice and DIY toast. I ordered the vegan hot breakfast which was brought to me on a plate, everything was hot and cooked to my liking. My room had plenty of space and was quiet, although you could hear other residents shutting their doors. It would have been nice to have had a separate table in the room apart from the dressing table and bedside tables. I found the hot water to be hot at any time of day. The one drawback was, that the grab rails on the bath where fixed, had black mould around the edges. Apart from that, everything else appeared clean and it would not deter me from rebooking again in the future.

Yet again, absolutely wonderful. Even though they were very busy on this occasion, they were still helpful and friendly. Breakfast is great as usual, lots of choices. I always have the cooked breakfast, the only silly thing, Whats with the beans in a ramekin, l like it on my plate(personal preference). However i just scooped them out onto my plate... easy. Not a negative review. Always wonderful. Love the place. Will most likely be staying again for a few days next time at the end of the month.

Lovely clean and modern with plenty of room. We booked a courtyard family room as we brought our dog with us. We ate dinner in the restaurant twice and it was home cooked, tasty and plentiful. All staff were friendly and helpful and made a fuss of all the dogs.

We stayed one night in no. 24 Courtyard double, with breakfast following day. The accommodation was delightful, spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good, and we also had a lovely evening meal in the main building. Excellent value for money too.
