The Limes Bar and Hotel — Hotel in Mid Suffolk

We made a last minute booking to stay at the Limes where we already had tickets to watch a show. We were planning to stay elsewhere, but were struggling to find a taxi to run us to and from where we had originally booked. Up to then, I had only spoken to the Limes over the phone with a few questions etc. With each phone call, I found the staff were super helpful and incredibly polite and this continued when we arrived in person (parking was also easy due to a large car park to the rear of the hotel). We were met by Nicole who is the owner/manager along with her brother Ashley. Nicole was very friendly and attentive, even personally showing us up to our room, which was a nice touch and something that you do not get so much these days. We had a table already booked for dinner and had an enjoyable meal that was very well priced.|We found the room perfectly comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast the following morning was as good as any I have ever had and again, very reasonably priced. Even when my picky partner wanted to change bits and make various swaps to her breakfast, Nicole was very accommodating and happy to individualise the dish to Miss picky pants requirements. |Overall, we would absolutely recommend the Limes hotel on price and atmosphere, along with the friendliness...

The Limes has been recently renovated (according to a local taxi driver). We chose it for its proximity to Great Finborough where we were to attend a family party. We made the right choice. Although there were things that weren’t quite perfect (stale muffins with the eggs Benedict for example), I have never felt so welcome in a hotel before. The staff definitely went out of their way to talk to us and by our second morning were greeting us as though we were part of their family. Check out is by 11:00 am but my daughter had an online lesson starting then. No fuss was made, she was simply allowed to stay until her lesson had finished. My husband and I didn’t realise that the kitchen closed at 7pm on a Sunday. No problem; sandwiches and sausage rolls were found for us so that we didn’t go hungry. |It was lovely to see a number of groups using the function room. Perhaps it might have been a good place for our family party. I will certainly suggest it next time.|If you are looking for a comfortable hotel with a good menu, friendly bar and excellent service, The...

Honestly the noisiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Should have realised though when we got there as there were earplugs next to the bed! |Karaoke until midnight the first night, then second night was party music. This music pumps through the floor and it really loud. |We were in the front of the building and the church clock chimes every hour all through the night and makes it impossible to sleep. Because of the lack of double glazing this is so loud as it’s just over the road. ||Whilst the staff were friendly, the hotel is nice, and rooms comfortable I would never return due to the fact we got no sleep all weekend. |I think you either cater for the party and events OR the hotel customer. You can’t do both as it only works if you are at the party. We were visiting family and it meant we didn’t get to sleep and just waiting until midnight and the noise to stop. After that it’s hearing the clock chime just as you drift off. |Such a shame as the hotel has been refurbished...
