Milsoms Kesgrave Hall

Milsoms Kesgrave Hall

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel. Very nice spa building. Rooms spacious and had tea/coffee plus iron and ironing board. Breakfast options were lovely, staff friendly and helpful. Nice bar area and sitting space. The grounds are gorgeous. We stayed whilst attending a wedding at Seckford Hall and it was an easy taxi ride away. My only (very minor) criticism is that the hotel was very hot."

"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. All in all a good stay for the money involved."
