I need some recommendations of nice places to stay (preferably pubs with rooms) along the Norfolk/Suffolk coast for 2 nights away this thurs and fri for the missus birthday.

We've done Sheringham/Cromer loads of times to was thinking more Suffolk area and not in any of the big towns. Been looking at Southwold but I can't see any pubs there that have rooms. Walberswick has the Bell but as the ferry isn't running we'd pretty much be stuck there.

Would be quite a lot of booze involved so don't want to have to drive much. biggrin

Any ideas chaps? About £100 a night is max budget. Aldeburgh maybe? Thinking more of pretty little villages and pubs with low beams - that sort of thing

Thanks biggrin

Edit - I can't correct the typo in the title frown

I know it's a little further north, but Wells-Next-The-Sea would be a pretty good place to check out, there are several pubs in the village that do rooms, (both the Crown and the Globe are pretty good) and there's also the Albatross beer ship for a very nice sundowner!




ignore the ginge, she won't be there wink

A few years ago me and Mrs B. spent a weekend at the Blyth in Southwold. Not too bad.

There a lot of B&Bs in Southwold that are less than a 2 minute walk from a pub.

If you do go to Aldeburgh, then visit the Ye Olde Cross Keys. Lovely pub.

If it's Suffolk you want then I can recommend Orford Ness as an interesting place to spend a day or two.

You can get a ferry across to the ness itself, which has a bit of interesting history.

The town is quite pretty. With a few interesting shops and cafes.

There is a castle that you can wander around.

Aldburgh is just up the road which has some pretty shops and the beach.

We stayed at the Crown and Castle Hotel, which had good reviews and we were pleased with our choice...........

Thanks for all the advice guys smile

We've been to Wells a few times camping but the missus wasn't too keen on it for some reason

Had a few dinners at the White Horse in brancaster and it was lovely but bloody expensive for a room

I've booked 2 nights at Home@21 in Southwold near the pier. Will most likely pop over the river to Walberswick for lunch on Friday at the Bell unless anyone knows of anywhere better for a bit of lunch

Missus wanted to do the Adnam's brewery tour so got that booked too smile

Obviously too late now, but I would have suggested the Dolphin at Thorpeness (a lovely walk along the beach from Aldeburgh), which is a nice pub with good food that has rooms...

As opposed to the fare last week at the main Aldeburgh fish and chip outlet. Very disappointing for the first time in my experience.
