Wonderful food, excellent helpful staff, lovely location. Stayed in a garden room which had a huge comfortable bed, small patio with a view of the castle. We are certain to return.

Fantastic place to stay and eat. First class service from warm and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

Feed backSadly I have to tell you I was somewhat disappointed with our stay. We last stayed jan 2020 prior to Covid and had a wonderful time and was so impressed, raving about our stay. I was very much looking forward to our return, but it just didn’t match up in my opinion. I was looking forward to your best room, the suite, but it wasn’t as good as I had hoped. Although spacious I didn’t find the sitting area a nice place to sit and relax. We had dinner at the first sitting and we were the only dinners in the restaurant. Service was incredibly slow. This however was not a reflection on the serving staff, who apologised for the long wait for the food. I ordered the Suffolk game pie, piccalilli emulsion. On its arrival, I received an apology that there had run out of piccalilli emulsion. This was a surprise since we were the first and only dinners. Main course was the pan fried sea bass, warm potato salad, gem lettuce, crayfish, salsa verde charred leeks. It was nice, but the 4 boiled potatoes that the fish sat on were boring and added nothing to the dish and was a bit of a stretch to describe it as a warm potato salad. On our last visit, we were delighted to be treated to amuse bouche, but there was none on this occasion. On our last visit my husband ordered the cheeseboard, so he indulged in again. Firstly it did not have the candied pecans stated, but it was a shadow of the cheeseboard we had enjoyed on our previous occasion. We had enjoyed the meal so much on the last occasion and I had taken pictures, so I was able to make an exact comparison. When we went to bed, I was awoken at sometime after 10pm of a member of staff slamming a door on a room underneath us, so hard that the bed actually shook and woke me up. I appreciate I did have high expectations, following our previous visit. But I don’t think it was unreasonable to expect a similar experience. For me, for my overnight stay the main focus is the food. As a good cook, I have very high standards and Whilst I felt the meal was nice, it wasn’t anything more than that and didn’t feel special and I certainly wasn’t wowed. I’ll be honest I’m now rather regretting booking ahead for both our birthdays this year.

Booked for Sunday lunch very close to Christmas, our first time at The Crown & Castle. Staff very on it with our shifting timings and our dietary requirements. Service excellent. Ambience perfect. Food just amazing. We love to visit Orford and this experience will bring us back again very soon and more often.

Wonderful stay here. The hotel is beautiful and the staff are all very pleasant and super helpful. Orford itself is idyllic, even at this grey time of year! Could I gush about it anymore? Probably, but I won't. Needless to say, recommended.

We had a lovely weekend last year. The top floor suite was very spacious and excellently decorated and maintained. The view from the balcony towards the castle and the sea was great too. We felt very special with the service and the food quality. We would definitely recommend it and we are planning on coming back very soon.

Ground floor room of a good size and convenient with our dog. Not a cheap hotel, so were surprised the grouting in the bathroom was black in some places and marks in the bath that would not come off. To be honest that should not be the case whatever the cost of the room. Not clear where to put the poo bags either and when I asked a member of staff, he had not idea. The instructions were in the hotel book, but not made as obvious as it should have been, for something so important to a dog owner. In fact he said leave the bag on the balcony of the room for the cleaner to deal with, which I think was wrong. Neither do I like cannellonni beans served with my full English Breakfast and was not given a choice of ordinary beans that are normally served at hotels. The overall stay was enjoyable and the evening meals were nice. Orford is lovely. This is meant to be constructive for the hotel owner. When I stayed years ago, Ruth Watson owned it and she definitely would not have allowed these issues I picked up on.
