Can’t recommend enough a weekend at Retreat East. Also the spa and food was amazing. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our second time here and you can not fault this place . The rooms, the staff, the location are just perfect and the dogs are made to feel like VIP’s. The hot tub is lovely and the restaurant has such a nice ambiance about it ( and yes dogs are welcome in there too!) ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica 31 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely gorgeous stay! Would definitely return and recommend to others. Would just like to see more option on the menu in the barn. A pasta and/or steak dish would be great. ##### Erica Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles 7 May 2025 #### Good but overall disappointing Big spacious room Able to get in earlier then expected Great walks with maps of walks provided. Sauna and steam were clean Good complimentary items Breakfast which was included was average at best. Extractor fan in bathroom took 40 minutes to go off and had no switch to turn off Tv in bedroom awkwardly placed Windows in room covered in bird poo and sky light windows covered in webs Service seemed a bit hostile not very welcoming I wouldn’t say it was worth what I paid. Rather places like congham hall ##### Charles Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely rooms.Quiet location. Friendly staff. Will visit again ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebecca 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It was okay, but for the price paid, and for a place that describes itself as ‘luxury’, I expected much more. We had one of the more expensive rooms (‘the piggery’) and I can see that once upon a time it was nice but it was looking quite run down and shabby, it severely needed a lick of paint, repairing of fixtures and fittings and the garden area really needed some plants, decent furniture and shade (currently it feels like a driveway with a picnic bench and two chairs.) Breakfast at the great barn wasn’t a great experience - staff seemed chaotic and on one day there was barely any food, drinks and juices had all ran out, no milk for the cereal etc. on another day we waited over half an hour for some coffees. We were meant to have dinner there but we cancelled because we weren’t filled with confidence following our breakfast experience! On the positive side - the staff are lovely, the massages were good, and the location (if you’re happy to drive) was good for exploring Suffolk. Overall I was disappointed and I’m not sure I’d recommend in its current state, but I hope they make some amends and improvements. ##### Rebecca Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Toni 14 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice but is about double the cost it should be. Quite a nice quiet place but not worth anything like what they charge. There were stains on the bed covers which they came and changed straight away. Breakfast wasn't worth bothering with, hardly anything there on the continental option, we waited a while for drinks that didnt come so we gave up and left. ##### Toni Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley 19 Jun 2025 ##### Shirley Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Florence 3 Jun 2025 ##### Florence Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karl 11 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Karl Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra 5 Mar 2024 ##### Debra Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirsten 4 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kirsten Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 30 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise 20 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Louise Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle 22 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful get away at Retreat East.
