We are situated on one of the prettiest squares in the country. Sitting opposite the beautiful Abbey Gardens in our historic building that dates back to 1452. With traditional Georgian charm and splendour we provide a place of elegance, style and comfort for your stay in Bury St Edmunds.
Angels, dragons, myths and legend all belong here. At one time this was the place where pilgrims from all over the world would flock to worship the shrine of St Edmund - the martyred King of East Anglia.
Medieval times saw the reign of George the Dragon Slayer and a fresh sweep of influence and organisation.
One of the best loved market towns in England there's a powerful pull to the Abbey - beautifully kept and a place of peace and worship - here you will find serenity and a sense of higher dimensions.
Feel the aura of past visitors to our fine establishment - Kings, Queens, actors, writers and the notable Charles Dickens who gave readings of his books in the town.
There's a riot of colour and fresh flower aroma throughout the summertime - baskets, window boxes and a blaze of glory in the gardens and parks - there have been many awards won here for the floral excellence and divine beauty on display.
Explore the streets by foot, browse the many and varied shops - you can buy everything from a carpet bag to the most colourful waistcoat to musical instruments such as the didgeridoo, flutes and drums. Gemstones, chimes and incense combine with fine fashion, inspirational gift stores and a twice weekly provisions market in the Buttermarket and Cornhill - sociable, lively and characteristic of market town life.
