Gatehouse Restaurant

Great welcome, Nice Large Clean room. Arrived late but still had time to have a couple of drinks at the quaint bar before going into the dining room for a wonderful meal. All the staff were fantastic but one in particular made our stay superb. A very big thank you to Marina who was so lovely. Nothing was too much trouble, Marina deserves a pay rise.... We will try to come and stay again when we get the opportunity. Do not be put off by the out of town location..... its only a five minute taxi ride to the centre of Ipswich.....

This hotel is an undiscovered gem! Staff (mainly 1 lovely lady, Marrissa??) are fantastic! Food is gorgeous. We had dinner, how they managed to get each main and dessert for 4 of us sooo perfect, I will never know!! Breakfast was pretty perfect too! Rooms could do with an update, but very clean and caringly looked after by the staff. I would so stay here again! Even would go just for dinner as it is absolutely gorgeous food!! Very well done to the staff who obviously raise this hotel up to a very pleasant experience for the guest.

Apart from the bed that creaked like you wouldn't believe it was a wonderful experience. The food was wonderful and reasonably priced. The best part was the service. The same woman checked us in (past midnight without complaint), cleaned the rooms, later served us at the bar, waitressed for dinner and was still smiling when she served breakfast and checked us out. The whole wonderful experience was made perfect by her.

I would like to share my appreciation on the service that Receptionist Marianna provided during my short stay. She was very friendly with her warm hearted approach when I asked her if it is possible to order something out of the restaurant working hours without hesitation she offered me a delicious mini-meal. As I told her I felt like my mom is around. 😊 Overall it is a small, historic hotel with a character and very friendly staff. Thanks, Burcu Gün

The hotel is quaint and old fashioned, which is exactly what we were looking for. The staff was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We had no complaints during the five days we stayed here. Oh, and be sure to have their Continental Breakfast. It is superb.

My Manager booked this hotel with a few hours notice of my arrival. I am working nights so arrive back in the morning ready for breakfast and bed. The staff have made me very welcome and take into consideration my odd hours. The breakfast is basic and is cooked with care and attention to detail or there is a continental choice. The decoration in the bedroom and dining room is functional and everything is clean. I would have like to try the bar and walk in the grounds, maybe another time.
