Advantages: sumptious surroundings & food. Excellent customer service. Value for money Disadvantages: One or two very slightly shabby areas. I don't like buffet style breakfasts.
A few weeks ago I decided it was high time I had another treat (I am very good at this) and was in the mood for some sumptuous swankiness (when aren't I?). I decided to surprise my lovely fella with a weekend away in Suffolk. After a good google my search was narrowed to two nice looking country hotels on the outskirts of shopping centres.

Quick review of Swallow Belstead Brook Hotel, Ipswich
On May 27th I took my partner for a birthday treat to this hotel.
The price was very good. I found it a very friendly place, I couldn't fault the service. Its very atmospheric, though in places it does need a little makeover. My only criticism is the lack of a shower by the sauna/steam room, so we had to go back into the changing room to shower before entering the spa etc. Also they need toilets in the changing room, the nearest are upstairs.
On the whole its a great value hotel. I shall return! ...
