Pros:

The situation was glorious. The food was excellent.

Cons:

The room was too basic. No dressing gown, face cloth. Out of date t.v. no mini bar.
The staff were polite but only 2 were friendly enough with me a 83 year old lone traveller. And no porters at all to help carry bags. These 2 issues were poor.

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.
