Basic
Pros:

Location was nice

Cons:

The man on the front desk who checked us in wasn't particularly warm or friendly. I'd made the booking but my friends arrived later and 2 of them were told they were sharing a family room, which is not what I'd booked. We had to go back to reception and change it. When we went back, we waited for around 10 mins for someone to help us, having asked twice for assistance. The lift doesn't work when we returned in the evening, my partner had to run up to the top floor to send it down

Very pleasant stay and the staff were lovely.
Cons:

The first room they put me into was discussing. It was in the attic it was tiny, it smelt very musty the window paintwork needed replacing and the lift didn’t work. They did move me into another room which was much better.

A tale of two parts
Pros:

The breakfast, staff and location were great.
Will come again but book a room in the main building.

Cons:

Our room was in an outbuilding which was damp, cold and had a draught. The bed however was very comfortable.

I'll be back!
Pros:

Friendly staff, really great breakfast. Mine was too much to eat so I was given a bag to go :)

Cons:

Would have liked a bit more choice for the evening meal as there wasn't anything I would call light eating.

Most of it was pleasant but poor attitude from some staff made it an unpleasant experience
Pros:

The property is well located in Mildenhall

Cons:

The one member of staff was extremely rude.
Normal things like having a shower and using the hair dryer meant that the room steamed up and set the fire alarm off. (No way of opening windows) a staff member accused me of smoking several times and said the steam was smoke… no apology.. would advise they have a lesson in hospitality

Would not recommend unless you like a less than basic room
Pros:

Garden was nice but a bit unkempt, crazy golf was a nice touch. Staff seemed approachable and helpful. Towels were big and soft

Cons:

Room 21 was completely devoid of any comforts , was very barren, bare and extremely basic and very very dated.
