Filthy and lots of bugs
Very dirty and old. Dirty floors, cobwebs, bugs everywhere really unpleasant. Such a shame as the building is such a lovely old building it could be great. Even if the decor is old they could clean it properly, but they have left it to be really dirty and grimy. Also after breakfast, which was not good, coffee like water and took ages to be served. We then went to the car to see the chef outside smoking and in filthy clothes! Really put us off, made my husband feel ill. This was at 11am so he hadn’t been cooking all day to get so filthy! Would not recommend.

The room needs updating, tv not working, room needs a good clean as it’s got serval spiders 🕷️, the pub is a very nice old place, food is nice. Payed £110 for a night with breakfast, overall not bad but there are a few other places around here I would rather try.

It's pretty much as described; a 3 star pub. It's not Claridges but it's value for money. Nice people and clean room. Generally pub food is not great and this was no exception: I had a very ordinary steak pie (none of the advertised kidneys). The peas and mash had obviously been left under the warming lamp for far too long and were pretty dried out. But, as I said, nice people and comfortable bed. I'd stay there again.

We arrived the hotel 3:45am because of an accident and road work on M1 we have waited half an hour on front of the hotel door, we constantly ring the doorbell and the hotel's phone number no one open the door. Absolutely fiasco

1 * pub hotel
1* accommodation with wardrobe in bathroom ?? VERY VERY noisy LIVE band on Friday night which went on till 11.30PM so dont come here if you want a quiet weekend break in the beautiful town of Long Melford. Breakfast was decent but cereal bowls dirty not washed properly. Also stopped on the hottest day of the year so far so it was very hot & sweaty in the room. Overall all a bit disappointing.

Easy and friendly check-in. Room very large but needs a little TLC. Greek evening meal very good. Breakfast on 1st morning very good however on 2nd morning, poor. Value for money: good. Bad points, I telephoned to book stay and was informed 'hotel' staff weren't available but would ring back. They didn't. I rang next day with the same result. Not very good!

We paid £149 for a family room, which had a double bed and a sofa bed in it. When we got in the room it was absolutely freezing and dirty. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable as were the pillows so we couldn’t sleep properly, as well as the room being incredibly cold. It was -4 outside and therefore heating was essential. The electric heaters were on for many hours but gave out little heat. The bathroom was absolutely freezing and smelt like a drain. The room was dirty and had not been cleaned properly with dust and cobwebs in the room. Electric cables were covered with electricians tape and the tv did not work. In the restaurant, where we had breakfast in the morning, was also absolutely freezing with staff even commenting on how cold it was. It was a huge disappointment and I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay there. I am upset that so much money was spent and we came away extremely cold and tired as we didn’t sleep. This spoilt our time spent with family, who live more than 3 hours away from us, when it should have been a time of enjoyment.

Good Pub, rooms and sleep not great.
Nice pub and drinks but the accommodation wasnt great. Bed clean, coffee, tea etc. Carpet in the bathroom was covered in stains but toilet etc was clean. Didnt get a wink of sleep though, a hot weekend so opened the windows, however the pub goers and music were very loud and shouting until midnight, so had to close the windows which then the room got too hot and couldnt win, resorted to ear plugs (tissue paper). Had to be up early the next morning which didnt happen due to this. Also charged double for the room tab which was refunded quickly the following week. Good if you just need somewhere as a base on a road trip or had enough drink to pass out somewhere. Paid £93 for one night, feel like it should habe been more like £50, however an ok breakfast is included.

We have had a really good time at The George and Dragon Inn. We stopped for 4 nights. The room was very spacious and the On suite was nearly as big as the main room. Time hosts were very friendly and would always have a conversation with you to make you feel welcome. The food was very good and a nice selection. Will not hesitate too stop here again.

Worst accomodation I have ever stayed in!
Charged extra for to have a room as described in the advert. No one showed up to provide breakfast. All night long what seemed like a noisy fan was going under the room. The room was very tired and cold. No one on site during the night and had to put my keys through the pub letterbox on departure. Made a complaint to hotels.com only recieved two automated email responses - not satisfactory.

Nice stopover
Very friendly welcome on a very wet, very cold evening. Extremely long day on the road, I needed a clean, warm room, good shower and a decent meal. That’s what I got. Ok, it’s not 4 star, it’s an inn, and it was 1 mile away from my first appointment next morning. It has free parking, Wi-Fi and food on site. Friendly reception (owner?) Room was spacious and warm, I was able to turn heater up so it was really warm on freezing night. Had meal in the pub, again friendly, very polite, good choice of food and food price. Also good choice of beers, standard and local. Returned to my cosy warm room and slept and slept. I didn’t make breakfast, I rarely do, I prefer an extra 20 mins in bed, but it looked and smelled good. Only minus was the en-suite had no heating so pretty chilly in there, but warmed up from bedroom when door left open. Good stay, shops and restaurants within few mins walk if you need them. Good value.

Room was clean, but Tv did not work. To get a picture you would have to hold the aerial cable in. When we chatted to the receptionist after asking how our stay was they seemed to know all about it!! Breakfast was a bit odd, no separate milk for the tea big jug left for the breakfast cereal so had to bring it to our table for our three cups of tea, cat roaming the room much to our young daughters delight. Booked room for three people yet only one small double bed so we were a bit cosy!!! Staff very friendly and always asked if they could do anything or get us anything. In my opinion slightly over priced for what we got.
