“A comfortable two nights in an ideal location for our plans.”
+Our room in the garden suited us very well. It was large and nicely decorated, warm but not too hot, the bed was very comfortable and the shower hot and easy to use. Breakfast was excellent The staff were pleasant and helpful.
−We had seen poor reviews of the food and the service for the evening meal and we were also disappointed by the very long wait for our food. We had two children with us who found it difficult to be patient. The menu was not good for vegetarians. I am not fond of curry, especially when made with butternut squash and discussed this with the staff who advised that I chose from the small dishes. I was decided to do this. The rice balls were lovely but the camembert, fried in small portions, was rather hard and dry.

“A great place to stay and explore Constable country, warm welcome, great food and drink.”
+A Warm and Hearty Stay with Outstanding Food We had a lovely stay at the Red Lion in East Bergholt. From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm welcome from the incredibly friendly staff, which set a great tone for our trip. There is also ample free parking located conveniently to the rear of the pub, making arrival entirely stress-free. Our room was spacious and featured a large, exceptionally comfortable bed. The bathroom was well-stocked with plenty of toiletries and the shower was fantastic and hot. We did have to ask reception to have our towels changed and to get the heating turned on, but the staff sorted both requests out quickly and politely. The highlight of our stay was definitely the dining. The Full English breakfast is fantastic and cooked to perfection. We also ate in the pub on our last night; I had a great steak and they served a brilliant gluten-free fish and chips for my partner, which was a massive plus. A separate fryer is used to ensure the food is gluten free. We would definitely stay here again for the wonderful hospitality and excellent food!
−Towels changed on request and had to ask for heating to be turned on.
