Best Hotels near Kentwell Hall, Babergh District

Stay here on a regular basis with work and the location is great, 5 minutes from the A14 and 10 minutes from the town centre. Huge free carpark, but you need to log your registration at check in, speedy service at the reception with a great room which you would expect from Holiday Inn. The swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi are all now available. Restaurant is a reasonable size with a decent menu and they also have BT which shows football when it’s on,breakfast is self service with a great choice.

Sofia (‘manager’ if you could call her that !) is nothing but a bully, leaving a poor young PREGNANT girl by herself to show me pictures of restaurants she has been to recently and photos of her puppy ! The young girl (Shannan was her name I believe) was swept off her feet, running around doing a ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING and doing all she could to make my stay wonderful but unfortunately the stay was ruined by Sofia! when Shannan asked for help from Sofia (so called MANAGER!!!) she basically laughed and carried on doing nothing !, Sofia offered no help what so-ever and she should have a serious talking to ! I also heard her talking about Staff members personal lives and antics to other staff members which is not called for what so ever and is not what Customers and guests should be hearing as it is their personal life and she SHOULD NOT be disclosing any of that to anybody at all ! I stayed in February and she was the same, I travel for work often and I often stay at the dragonfly but even since the So called “Manager” Sofia started the place had gone down hill ! Shanna is an absolute star and should be praised to high heaven ! Thank you so much Shannan for going above and beyond for me and many many others !

I have been looking at hotels with my father for a while, and found this hotel to be the best bang for the buck when it comes to location and facilities. Staff was absolutely professional and especially Heather was incredibly helpful when it came to suggestions for places to eat and leisure. Will absolutely stay again and can't wait to see what this place has more to offer

Firstly, the staff are absolutely fantastic. They can't do enough for you, and make you feel extremely comfortable.We had dogs with us and they also made our two dogs feel very welcome. We stayed here for a wedding, and got about 5 hours sleep in two nights, and that's not because of our party life! The hotel is right on the harbour, which is stunning, BUT, you are also right next door to which seems like Ipswich's only club, Isaacs! Our room overlooked Isaacs!! the room was about 30C inside and had NO air con! Therefore we had to have the windows open on both nights and all we heard for two nights was drunks walking up and down and the horrendous music from Isaacs. I know the hotel can't do anything about this, but at least have air con in the room so the windows can be shut and you can ignore the noise! We wouldn't return purely because of this. Gave 3 stars because as I said, the staff were fantastic but overall experience wasn't great.

The location is on the main street, opposite Martha and McDonald's, and there are plenty of places to visit. There is a castle on the left hand side. The first floor of the hotel is a small restaurant, very comfortable, you can have breakfast, afternoon tea, and so on. The service is very welcoming and will help with the luggage to the room. The downside is that there is no elevator, but if the baggage is heavy, there will be a waiter to help, don't worry. The hotel is relatively large, Wi-Fi is not too stable, depending on the floor.

It was excellent. In the middle of a heatwave we had an extremely cool room which needed no fans. We are more than happy to have another break there

Great price for a great place. Our room was spotless. The reception is at the restaurant, so be sure to get what you want before they close at 11pm.
