A good stay at The Orwell Hotel. A lovely spacious hotel, but with a very welcoming feel. My partner and I along with 4 other family members stayed at this hotel during the weekend of the Classic car show. The breakfast was very good and a large variety to choose from. We also ate at lunch and the food was... More

Lovely hotel, rooms are large, wifi is good and food is outstanding (strongly recommend the grilled salmon salad). I have stayed a number of times and it is always very good. More

This hotel has lots of character, almost like stepping back into a Manor house, with its large staircase, study/sitting rooms with crystal chandeliers and impressive paintings on every wall.... The we were on the second floor (hotel did have a lift) Quite a large room with a big bed, nice clean sheets and towels, tv, hairdrier, water, tea and coffee... More

This is the second time we have stayed and perhaps we have been lucky, but both times given large rooms well decorated and nicely furnished. We were upgraded this time as the hotel was quiet and were pleased to have a well supplied tea tray - including a teapot, biscuits and bottled water. Everything was clean and well presented.

It is a hotel of contrasts, which is why I have given it 3/5. On the positive side the downstairs areas are grand, with high... More

Just returned from a short two day break at this hotel with my girlfriend. The hotel was held in very high regard by my parents, who have stayed there many times, and still continue to go back every year (i can now see why!!) The Orwell is a beautiful old fashioned hotel full of charm and wonderful staff. We were... More

We stayed here two years ago for the night and have to say we thought the rooms were quite shabby. We stayed here again this time for a local Xmas works party and were pleasantly surprised. The room was lovely and comfortable. The staff were brilliant, even on my return to the hotel when i had a bit too much... More

Breakfast a good spread of locally produce, shame no muffins for eggs benidict as advertised on the menu, so full English... More
