"Awesome hotel best place to stay in Sudbury hands down to amazing staff restaurant and bar. Rooms lovely the views amazing and just a pleasure to stay"

Orwell Hotel

8/10 Good

"Has a bar, but no residents bar outside of normal hours. Could have done with additional tables for breakfast, and the replenishment of the breakfast items just wasn't quick enough, with people waiting around a lot for various things. Considering they knew the numbers up front this could have been better. The room was large, comfortable, and clean. It looked like the bathroom had recently been refurbished so that was excellent.
