Very disappointing.
Pros:

The hotel is in a superb location, on the sea front and with good views. The staff seem very friendly and the food is good though not cheap.

Cons:

Unfortunately we were unable to access hot water throughout the weekend. I was reduced to washing with a flannel and cold water, which was more than disappointing. Martin from the restaurant came to our room (217) late on the 1st evening to see what he could do and managed to get warm (not hot) water. But by the following morning we were back to cold water. The room itself is rather cramped and the bed is small for a double, so definitely NOT recommended.

Just lovely!
Pros:

View from the room was amazing and entrancing. Room large, very comfortable and clean if a little tired. Loved the fluffy towels and the hospitality tray. Was quiet and peaceful.

Cons:

The first day breakfast was great. The second day (Sunday) it was poor - my poached egg was more like a boiled egg and I asked twice for toast before giving up on it. Restaurant let a lovely hotel down.

Lovely stay at a great location and wonderful views of the sea from the room we'd booked.
Pros:

The spacious room at the front of the hotel did not disappoint and we had a stunning view of the sea, close enough to hear the waves lapping. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was good. The location in Aldeburgh is excellent and we were able to reserve a disables car space. The bar/breakfast room and lounge have lovely sea views and there is outdoor seating for fine days.

Cons:

We would have welcomed a small reading lamp near the sofa.

A lovely hotel in an excellent location with great food and service.
Pros:

The location was excellent; you could walk out the front door of the hotel and you were on the promenade.
All the staff were had contact with were very helpful.
We enjoyed the breakfast a lot.
We had an evening meal one night in the restaurant and that was excellent.
Our room was comfortable with nice tea and coffee facilities.

Cons:

Limited free parking adjacent to the hotel (but a spacious reasonably priced car park 3 min walk away.
Dogs were allowed in the lounge area and I can feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes around poorly behaved dogs.
