We stumbled across The Crown while we were staying the night in Woodbridge (a town close to…read moreFramlingham, where Ed Sheeran grew up). The menu caught our eye and it didn't hurt that they had a Michelin 2017 rating! We got the following: Pork belly Sous vide squid Catch of the day All of their food was beautifully plated and OMG the seafood was so fresh and cooked so well. I had never had a dish prepared by sous vide method and it blew my mind. It was also a nice bonus that they had WiFi since I could check in and post my photos. I hope to find another place back home (los Angeles, California) that is just as great as The Crown. One day we'll be back!

Pretty much everything a successful pub with rooms should be…read more Relaxed and casual dining at its best, the food (although the menu has changed radically since my previous visits) was still of an outstanding quality, genuinely excellent. Add to that the location, the ambience and the general relaxed air and you have yourself a 5 star dining experience. Really rather excellent.

I fell in love with this brand new hotel in Margate (UK)!…read more What I loved about Crescent Victoria Hotel: - Charming and cozy hotel, "so British", - Clean and fresh bedroom and bathroom: luxurious & modern furniture and decoration, high-end equipment (TV, wifi, plug adapter, toiletries, coffee and tea,...),... - Ultra friendly staff at your service, books and leaflets with information about the hotel and the area/region at disposal in the room and at the reception (nice touch and attention)! - Great and ideal location: in front of the beach, the bay and the Margate Winter Gardens (Concert Hall), - Nice restaurant and service for dinner and breakfast (english & continental are both delicious)! Small (very small) disappointments about the hotel: - Really small room but adequate and acceptable for a weekend, - No parking (street parking) Conclusion : You have to go there! The region is great when the weather is nice! Perfect value/price ratio: +-90£/room/night breakfast incl. I will return for sure!

The Salthouse feels like a lovely little boutique hotel, although it's actually fairly sizeable…read more My room unfortunately wasn't overlooking the harbour, so I had a delightful car park view instead. I didn't mind though as I was just going to be in and out. According to my colleagues, a room with a harbour view is definitely worth asking for. My room was very stylish I thought. Unique things that I hadn't seen anywhere else like mosiac style feature wallpaper in a dramatic blue and black pattern, and just nice little touches like a retro style telephone and dotty mugs, and a big rustic wooden bench/desk. There is nothing corporate about this place at all, it is very nicely done. The bathroom was great too - a seperate shower cubicle with an overhead and side on shower, and a big double bath tub - I had a fantastic soak before heading out for the evening. The room had its own temperature control, and the bed was very comfortable - I felt like I was being enveloped in a gigantic soft marshmallow. I can't comment much more than that, as I didn't have dinner or breakfast there, and didn't use the bar. I'd like to come back to the Salthouse though - when away from home through work, staying here feels like a real treat.

Very charming design hotel overlooking the Ipswich harbor…read more Rooms are very comfy and decorated with taste and in a sailor kind of atmosphere. A little walk from the center but since be city is not big and the walk is nice (along the harbor) it is no problem. Good breakfast in the morning too. Dont Forget to ask for a room with a view on the harbor. Nothing says "good morning " better than the seagulls waking you up and the view on the boats. With a room in a corner of the building the view gets even wider :) They have a free parking so let your car there and enjoy an healthy walk. Will stay there no doubt if I ever go back to city.

As someone who doesn't have a car I found it a bit difficult to get to the hotel so that's kind of an inconvenience. My radiators could have worked better but overall such a lovely hotel. Definitely recommend it!

This hotel was refurbished around 1 year ago and the owners have made a good job of it…read more The rooms are very clean and comfortable with everything you need but are not over the top. Some great sea views too. The resturant has good food but lacks atmosphere as its too casual and there doesn't feel as if there is a defined bar area. The service is what makes this place very good everyone works hard and they are very attentive. The team is a huge selling point of this hotel one of the best I've seen. We paid £150 per night for b+b which I feel is a little high but this is good escape for someone looking for a slower pace break.

This place truly has seen better days The pub is quite spacious and they can pour a pint. I would…read morenot recommend the food though, most of it tastes like it came from iceland to the freezer then the microwave and your plate. If you are nearby and you just want to have a pint, by all means. There are a few locals, that appear to hang about but it does not generally get very busy. They have some tables outside which are quite nice during the summer.

Not sure why the ratings are so low for this place. I've…read morebeen many times and always had an enjoyable experience, a real example of how to do 'pub with food & rooms' Dining room is excellent, great lighting, layout and atmosphere. I've stayed in the rooms and cool, fresh and 'sea side' in a modern way, recommended, especially the sea views. The bar is buzzy, warm and inviting, doesn't detract from the dining room but adds to the overall atmosphere. Of course, in the summer, the terrace is the place to be with wonderful, uninterrupted views of the sea. Took a trip up on my return to the UK and wasn't disappointed this evening, a changed menu but some excellent additions (although damn it, I miss the cheese straws and pigs'n'blankets as starters..) Shared baked halloumi, on a bed of of artichokes and chestnuts for starters. We both decided to go for the wonderful air cured gammon steaks with chargrilled pineapple and a selection of delectable side dishes - the gammon was really outstanding, been a long time since I've eaten gammon and this was terrific. Finished with apple crumble and custard for me, and a modern twist on Black Forest gateaux for her...both really rich, and delightful ways to end a lovely meal. I do hope some more customers rate Fludyers higher than it currently is...it's worth it!

The Fluders has recently been refurbished and the garish colour schemes have finally gone. In its…read moreplace is a much more neutral and welcoming pub with exceptionally friendly staff. Located on the sea front in old Felixstowe it boasts amazing views from its front conservatory with large windows. And being slightly further away from town you will find that it's not as rammed as the other sea front pubs. The menu is good and the specials are frequently changing meaning there is always something new to get your teeth around. The pub is separated into two areas, one with is very 'pub like' with a pool table, creaky wooden chairs and blackboards and the other is slightly newer with netting on the ceiling to give it that 'fisherman's' feel. Highly underrated pub that serves all day and if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the high street, take a walk to old Felixstowe and stop in for a bite.
