Weekend away

Such a beautiful place to stay especially during the Christmas period, the room we had was stunning, very cozy and the bed was comfortable. There was a good selection of teas and coffee. Pub/restaurant was really lovely the meal we had was delicious. Bury St Edmonds was only 20 minutes away, definitely a lovely place to visit.
