The Butchers Arms Freehouse

The location was very close to where I was working.

I didn’t meet any staff, there was no clean towels or bedding, there was no available food including breakfast that we had paid for, the beds were very uncomfortable with thin mattresses, and my colleague and I walked away covered in bites and left our stay earlier than paid for as we were dirty, tired and hungry.

Breakfast was ok.

My room was shabby and not very clean. There were holes and marks in the wall. The room looked like it hadn’t been touched in years. An old dusty television bracket hanging loosely on the wall that wasn’t in use. The fridge was smelly. Brackets that once held a shelf above a very small sink in the bathroom but no shelf to place anything. Cheap metal hangers. No chair in the room. Cheap bedding and no mattress cover. Handwash but no shower gel. Toilet kept re flushing every minute or so. Luckily I had my earplugs so was able to get some sleep.

Leaving

No food being served, breakfast start too late 8.30! Bed itchy,uncomfortable too hot. Whole place looked unlocked after. Next to overflowing bins and old mattresses and Christmas trees. Was expecting something little better for the price. I think the influx of people working on sizewell c means they don't have to try. Need to up their game

Had a great night’s sleep, nice and quiet. Very good value considering just 15 mins drive to Aldeburgh.

A few decor details needed attention- bathroom shelf just had the supports (although handy for towels), and the tv mounting hadn’t worked. Didn’t cause a problem though.

This a cheap and cheerful place for a one or two night stay. It didn't serve evening food this time, but there were a couple of very good places nearby. The owners were friendly and the breakfast was good.

It was very lovely. I stayed in a little cottage/ summer house. It was very nice. The breakfast in the morning was delicious!

Staff were very good, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good.

Beds were creaky, all taps difficult to turn on or off. Room quite small.

It was a good location with privacy and everything I needed.

Could have done with a bit of work to neaten up the paintwork etc

de kamer was prima.

er was bij aankomst niemand aanwezig. Een welkomstbrief op de buitendeur geplakt met een routebeschrijving naar de kamer. Om de tijd voor het ontbijt door te geven diende men telefoneren. het geheel was oud en heeft duidelijk onderhoud nodig, spinnenwebben hangen van het plafond, de ontbijtruimte (bar) was niet schoon, ontbijt was minimaal.

Location was good as it's close to the town

Had bed bugs. Reported to the staff who was very helpful and immediately changed the room, however I was already bitten by a few by then. On closer inspection it also seemed like the fitted sheet on the mattress wasn't changed.
