The person who gave it 4 stars did not stay in my room. The carpet was filthy, covered in stains and obvious dirt from time, not recently cleaned. There was a hardened biscuit stuck to one of the coffee cups. It came off when I scratched it. I have a picture. I left feedback and have not heard from them at all so posting this. A refund would be good as I was very disappointed for a 4 star rated hotel.

Staying here is a little taster of opulence, and to wander around the rooms is like a small tour of a stately home. The only complaint we had was that it was overheated!

Wonderful gem, perfect for a relaxing weekend
I could not recommend Hintlesham enough, from the staff, to the appointment of the rooms, to the location and a magnificent menu for dinner, not to forget the Spa. I had a wonderful stay.

Lovely hotel with fantastic facilities and excellent staff. Dinner was delicious. However, it was very noisy all night with chairs being moved (possibly by the cleaning staff) so sadly I could not recommend this hotel (the noise was definitely not other guests and went from around 10pm until 5am on and off).

Weekend break with our dog.
We had a lovely.room in the stable.block as we had a dog. Ground floor eith outside space. Breakfast had a good choice and freshly made hot food as well as a small buffet. Lovely grounds. Staff very accommodating as far as our dog was concerned. Ate breakfast in the lounge at a special table with the dog as main restaurant obviously does not allow them. My only little comment would be that I feel a small bowl of crisps or nuts when you have a drink in the bar or on the terrace would be a nice touch. This is a 4 star hotel and I would expect this.

The property is wonderful with great grounds and beautiful setting. However the hotel seems to be run on a skeleton staff which needs to be addressed. The staff do their best but with weddings, guests and dining room commitments the staff cannot cope. Overall a good stay

Super nice!
Had a lovely time with the wife, every member of staff were so nice. Hotel was clean and well presented, dinner was fantastic. Overall had a nice quiet night away and not too far from home aswell! The room was good, my only fault I could find was that the bed was too hard for my liking so I didn’t have the best sleep. In light of that though I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

We have stayed here many times and we have never been disappointed. The outside area has been improved since our last stay with the deer walk and other areas being utilised more. We went for a daytime stroll and a late night stroll to see all the pretty lights. As always the staff were amazing and they couod not be more accomodating. We oted for food in the lounge bar this year and we were not disapponted. Excellent food and greeat portion sizes. I ioted for the larger salad and it was very filling. I would say the only improvements that could be made is to provide or offer milk alternatives and biscuit alternatives in the rooms for those with allergies. Other than that small improvement, everything was perfect as always.
