"I arrived early (11.25am) and the hotel staff were helpful in that they found me a room, which had plenty of space, was clean and had a large bathroom. There is plenty of parking and the grounds are very well manicured. Great value when you consider the hotel's proximity to the centre of Bury St. Edmunds. One thing I did notice - although breakfast had finished just before I arrived, there was a distinct smell of cooking oil throughout the reception area and stairs leading to the upper floors."
