Really enjoyed my stay
Pros:

Very clean room and ample breakfast, good parking , very handy for town

Cons:

An extra light over mirror in bathroom would be better for shaving , as it stands it is too dark to see to shave properly

Ideal for a short stay in Bury St Edmunds with excellent food.
Pros:

The location of the hotel was fantastic for our trip to The Apex Theatre, lots of shops near by too.

Breakfast was amazing! I had the English Breakfast, it was huge! It was freshly cooked and tasted wonderful. My husband had the Eggs Benedict and said that his too was very good.
We were both very impressed with the quality of the food.

The room was a good size with cupboard space, beautiful bathroom and nice bedding.

Cons:

Although the room was comfortable and perfect for our 1 night stay, it's looking slightly tired. The carpet and curtains could do with replacing. Also a plug socket next to the bed side lamp would be useful on each side.

The Bushell
Pros:

Good location and a nice breakfast.

Cons:

The shower head wasn't secured to the pipework, so it kept falling off when using it. The ceiling was also quite low in the bathroom, so you also had to duck a little to use the shower.
