Privately owned with a warm and welcoming atmosphere and that special personal touch. We pride ourselves on high standards, top quality and a helpful and professional team of staff who will ensure you have a very pleasant stay with us.
Be sure to spend time with us and one of the most popular market towns in England. Once the central place for pilgrimages over five centuries whilst worldwide interest brought many to the shrine of St Edmund - the martyred King of East Anglia. St Edmund was the Patron Saint of England until the dragon slaying day so George brought in a fresh and new approach to leadership.
The town is abuzz with flowers, shops, cafes and a sociable and friendly ambiance that is felt on market days - twice a week in the Buttermarket and Cornhill - filled with local provisions, charm and characters.
Pub lunches, meandering strolls around the streets, treasure hunting in the many and varied shops - everything from gemstones, incense, didgeridoo brought back from travels afar to jazzy waistcoats, carpet bags and Eastern paraphernalia.
Afternoon teas and the chance to buy loose leaf tea and drink it in the traditional way - highly pleasurable and enchanting.
There's a magic and charm that fills the air here - with the mention of Angels, dragons from days gone by and fairies in the flower beds. Great pride is taken with hanging baskets, window boxes and the gardens and parks and many a prize has been won for the floral excellence in the town.
Colourful, vibrant, typically English and serene - wonderful break away from normal everyday life.
