Rooms were booked by my son , for my wife and myself , and son , we arrived early and were very kindly allowed access to our rooms early , as we had to change to attend a funeral. A special thanks to Holly and the manager, who went over and above , the accommodation was of a very good standard, and I without reservation would totally recommend a stay .Thank you once again , and if visiting suffolk again , we will certainly be staying with you .Kind regards ,John & Denise, Simon.

Filthy. Bugs and dirt everywhere. Beautiful old building just needs a thorough clean. The chef needs to clean his uniform too as we saw him outside smoking and he was filthy, only 11am so can’t say he’s been cooking all day!! Awful.

Had a lovely brunch here today - good food, great service, welcoming atmosphere! Will be back ?
OK for the money, small room and quite noisy from bar music. Nice old building and good breakfast. Easy car parking and easy to

We were here celebrating a friends 40th birthday. The food was good, the room was lovely but the staff made it so much better! It felt like a home from home, would happily visit again!

we stopped there for a weekend break. the whole experience from check in to check out was excellent.the room was clean and adequate, the food and service was quick and well presented, the price was reasonable and the staff couldn't do enough to make our stay a pleasure.the karaoke on the friday night wasnt a problem and although there was a little bit of noise from people leaving at the end of the night, they dispersed quite quickly.the building being old has a few quirks but it is what it is.we would definitely stay there again and recommend it as a place to stay.Food & drinks: excellent , (the best steak I have ever had, perfectly cooked).

Upon arriving at the G&D the staff were welcoming. We had to walk through a Marquee at the rear of the pub which in the heavy rain was leaking as you walked through.The stairs up to our room were wonky and steep. Quite dangerous for children or older/unsteady adults.The room was presented well overall however, there was a step up into the en suite bathroom which reduced the space in the, already short, doorway. My dad (aged 74) hit his head on the way into the bathroom about 4/5 times. There was no sign to say 'Mind your head' or foam on the skirting to protect anyone above 5ft 5in in height.The annex room off of the main bedroom was, again, presented well but when I went to plug in my phone charger someone had broken of a plug pin in the socket and I had to fish it out with some tweezers to make it usable.The TV remote was missing (which should have been checked before we arrived) so the host spent 40 minutes or more searching for another remote that worked. Once he found one it was a universal remote which didn't work properly or allow use of all the TV features such as the guide, reminders, programming etc. The signal on the TV was also poor and kept fuzzing over and cutting out. The subtitles were also stuck on and we couldn't turn them off.When we went to make a cup of tea/coffee the cups were dirty and had acquired a dirty ring around the top from the filthy tray they were laid out on. Also, considering it was a family room and children were booked in, there were no Hot Chocolate on the tray until after we went to dinner and requested a coffee and milk refill because there wasn't enough for more than 1 drink per adult.Finally, and possibly most importantly, the pub downstairs, directly below had Karaoke on the Friday night and a live band on saturday night. For a family room this was totally unacceptable. I had a 9 year old and 5 year old sharing a sofa bed directly above and they couldn't get to sleep until gone 11pm. Come Saturday I was angry so spoke to the manager. He advised that the website states they have live music on the first weekend of every month. I explained that not only was that information not obvious on the website, it should have been made very clear on the website and when booking it should have been put in the booking confirmation email. Had we known and it be made clear, we would not have booked to stay here. I also informed the owner that he should not let out the family room to a family on the first weekend of each month because they are bound to have children in the room. The music was unnecessarily loud and we could hear every word and song sung. Absolutely disgraceful!!!To top it all off my brand new phone charger went missing out of the annex room. When I contacted the G&D to ask them to look for it or see if staff had put it up safely somewhere I had absolutely no response from them. So either they don't care, didn't bother looking or a member of staff stole it from my room.Needless to say, we will not ever be staying at the G&D again.Nearby activities: Long Melford is a half mile stretch village high street with 6/7 pubs and half a dozen eateries including a couple of lovely tea rooms. The Long Melford Tea Room had lovely old fashioned afternoon tea with cups and saucers, a man playing the piano and served lovely scones with clotted cream and jam. Highly recommended.Food & drinks: We ate in the pub the first night and it was pleasant. My only criticisms are that the Chili Con Carne cam with just chips and no rice. Rice wasn't even an option and the Baked Feta starter dish had far too much Feta which was very strong tasting and rich. Also, when my dad asked for cooked scrambled eggs during cooked breakfast the following morning he was served with a fried egg that had been chopped up to look like scrambled egg.Finally, the coffee cups in the morning were dirty and the only choice of yoghurt was plain Greek style yoghurt which most children won't eat, especially as they had no honey to go with it. The choice of cereal
