“This established Victorian hotel, just a mile from Felixstowe Beach, has potential despite some shortcomings noted during a recent visit. The architecture is grand, and the location ideal for seaside getaways; however, renovations are underway to address some dated aspects. Once these improvements are complete, the hotel should offer a stronger experience, particularly with its versatile event spaces and on-site dining.”
