« This was a wonderful experience, very friendly staff who were always ready to help, offering glasses of chilled water in the spacious and well-furnished public rooms and alcohol in the evenings. We stayed in the large Shakespeare room, often used as a Bridal Suite. The spa is great, with a good sized pool, a jacuzzi and unusual sauna.
Really good breakfasts served in bedrooms and at the nearby sister-hotel Milsoms. The fine dining at the main restaurant on the nearby River Stour was sublime,...
« The Marlborough is a pub with tasty food and about five rooms for overnight stays. The staff is outstanding and does everything possible to be helpful. It is on a central street of a very small town, so it can be a bit noisy during the day and early evening, but is quiet at night.

« Visually the place makes a very good impact. Dinner, the food was excellent as were the staff.
Breakfast ⊠weâd booked it at check in. We turned up to breakfast and there was nothing booked , the service at breakfast was okay , we did have to case up something.

« Very comfortable room & bed.
Superb meals in the elegant Carrier drawing room.

« I liked the location; staff were friendly and helpful; breakfasts good and flexible in choice. Comfortable and clean hotel with charming dining area lined with bookcases filled with books. Only had occasional problem accessing WiFi. Really enjoyed my stay. »
« We loved it here, had a a good couple of nights with friends. Beautiful apartment, amazing mattresses and pillows, very quiet environment. The pool wasnât open and some work was happening but you can tell itâs going to look amazing once they put it all together and summer prep work is expected at this time of year. Kara was fab and we met a super helpful housekeeper who is doing a degree who was a literal walking tourist information centre. Great atmosphere all round . »
