Very nice hotel on Aldeburgh seafront. Definitely worth asking for a seaview room if they are available. Good breakfast and a stylish Indian restaurant for evening meals.

Hotel in great location. We also had fantastic weather! Staff very helpful and all very clean. We missed not having the Brasserie open as the only evening meals were in the Indian which is not for us! However, managed to book to eat out each night. My only negative comment would be really weak showers, otherwise very enjoyable stay with great breakfasts too. Would stay there again.
