There is quite simply nothing not to like about this property. We had a wonderful weekend here. The room was spacious, and spotlessly clean, and the bed super comfy. The breakfast was a real stand-out. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. It was our first visit to the area - don't know why we left it so long!

Pleasant friendly staff. Excellent breakfast with a good choice on the menu. The room and en-suite bathroom were clean and the towels were of good quality. Comfortable bed. Leiston is a town with a lot of through traffic so traffic noise noticeable.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is spectacular. I realise the building is old but the bedroom and stairs are in need of decorating. We had a great couple of days, live music on the Sunday, the band was really good. Cup final was on, never heard any if it from the room. We would stay again when in the area.

A Very Pleasant Stay

Have stayed at this property numerous times when visiting friends in Leiston. Our room was very clean. Plenty of hot beverages and biscuits. Toiletries supplied. Staff really helpful. Breakfast available if required. You can't always park on site but plenty of parking a short walk away. Would definitely recommend

Room was clean and fully equipped for a quick morning coffee which is helpful. Staff was nice and check in and out were very smooth. The only problem is that room isolation is not very good so we could hear noises from the outside and inside the property late at night. Would recommend irrespective of it.

The pavlova alone is worth the trip

Comfortable room with excellent tea making supplies - and a good sized mug each! The floor fan was useful as it was very warm. The hotel kindly allowed a later check out with a prompt and polite response to our request. Check in was efficient and simple. The evening meal was superb - great value and the pavlova! Wow! Chef’s kiss! All in all - a beautiful historic building and a really enjoyable stay. We will return I am sure.

Enjoyed my stay at the Whitehorse hotel. The staff were really helpful and friendly. It would’ve been nice to have a mirror in my room, otherwise the room was satisfactory. I do think it would be good if the price of a breakfast was included in the overall price rather than having to pay separately.I also think that overall it is a little bit on the expensive side, but I understand they have to make a living!

Comfortable stay

We stayed in room 3 while our friends were in room 5, and the difference was remarkable. Our room was modern and didn't match the photo we saw online, as we were 'upgraded' due to a band playing in the pub below. The bathroom was incredibly small, only accommodating one person at a time. Definitely not worth £100 a night.

On the floor we was on there was a hell of stairs not suitable for anyone that I and it is right by the set of traffic lights where you have the crossing going all the time also traffic noise which was very noisy and because it’s a listed building. I cannot have double glazing, would I go there again possibly not because of the flight stairs and also the traffic noise?
