4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2013 NEW

This hotel terrace is only feet from the pebbly beach, so the dining-room has lovely sea views. The Brudenell is an old, traditional building that has been given a pretty lavish facelift. All new, bright-coloured furniture in the restaurant and lavish new bathroom fittings. The staff are a mixture of Eastern Europeans and local people, all of whom are friendly.... More

We stayed overnight with our "well behaved dog". We were all welcomed (canine visitor with a bowl and a dog biscuit, ) and parking place found for us. Because of dog and inclement weather we had room service for dinner and breakfast , both excellent , eaten in bay window area. A very restful stay in a lovely room. Will... More

Many thanks for your review we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. I note your comment regarding the wifi here at the hotel and wanted just to respond to this. We actually upgraded our wifi in the last 6 months at considerable cost to the hotel and the wifi system itself is state of the art. The difficulty we have... More

We phoned up one morning, very last minute, during half term asking for a family room. The staff were very helpful and offered us two adjoining rooms. They explained that these rooms do not have a view of the sea, were in the basement but had interconnecting doors. We were fine with this as it was so last minute. On... More

We stayed in room 104, which was delightful with a wonderful sea view. The room was very light and airy with lots of character and tasteful decor. The bed was very comfortable and the bathrobe and slippers were a nice touch. The lounge was pleasant,, bright and homely and sitting by the windows made for a relaxing people watching session....

A lovely hotel with very friendly staff. We were on a bike trip, and had been let down by a pub in Orford but we were lucky enough to get a room at the Brudenell, even though it meant cycling a further 12 miles! It was a lovely room and great food in the restaurant. They also had a locked... More

Previously, we have had a bad experience or too at The Brudenell, but we have re-visited three times in the last year and found it to be exceptionally good.

Lovely rooms decorated in a very homely style - made a lovely change from the bland hotel look. The staff are friendly, the restaurant has beautiful views of the sea front and the food is quite good. The only real disadvantage is the tiny car parking area.
