Top The Nutshell Hotel Reviews

Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, comfy beds and the breakfast was really good."

Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a small issue with our first room, that was dealt with quickly and efficiently, with a very generous upgrade to a Superior Junior Suite, which was very welcome. I'd give the breakfast 10/10 as well - absolutely not to be missed. Great to support an independent hotel as well. Highly recommended."

The Mill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely overnight stay. Shame there is no lift but the stairs helped to work off the gorgeous breakfast!"

Dragonfly Hotel Bury St Edmunds

10/10 Excellent

"Third time staying here. Excellent facilities, friendly staff and great food."

Best Western Heath Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff of the Heath court Best Western are Fabulous!! My room was super clean. The location is perfect."

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, great location."

The Three Blackbirds

8/10 Good

"Lovely place to stay near Newmarket, I had booked it because it offered rooms with baths. I was travelling with work and knew I wanted an early night and a bath. Hotels.com listed the available room as having the option of a bath so i requested it. To be fair the hotel never confirmed the request and i forgot to follow up. When i arrived in the afternoon I was given a room with a shower only , I asked if it was possible to change but unfortunately it wasn’t. Everything else about the stay was perfect, a couple of minor maintenance issues in the bathroom (dirty grout and mirror light not working) but otherwise spotless, comfy bed, quiet and staff couldn’t have been nicer. Food was good. I was disappointed that it wasn’t possible to have a bath in the room and would have booked somewhere else if I had known in advance. Might be a good idea to modify the hotels.com listing."
