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.

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.

Comfortable and quirky.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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 excellent breakfast

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!
