The Bird in Hand

I live in the village you know what they really aren’t interested in drinkers no seating area for them unless it’s the summer you sit outside. As for the food medium at best I don’t get what the hype is frozen pies definitely not homemade you can see factory made they are the exact same !! And if you’re going to charge me £17 for fish and chips i want proper chips i see their delivery from 3663 as i drive to work. Sugar Beat Ipswich Road that’s incredible you can tell the difference in the quality price wise better, plus better service

I normally enjoy staying at The Bird In Hand; friendly staff, good food & Oh so clean! - This time however, the bedroom at night was too cold & the thin duvet was of summer weight. there was no blanket in the wardrobe so I spent the night with a sweater over my nightclothes & a coat on top of the duvet & still felt cold. It is winter now & these problems should have been addressed.

Fabulous restaurant and food excellent. The staff can’t do enough for you. We booked superior double room and it was brilliant. Def stay there again.

Staff very friendly and attentive. Food was nice. Very large portions. No option for lighter meals. Room was nice and warm, bed was comfortable, my only gripe was the amount of cobwebs on the ceiling, down the sides of furniture and wardrobe. Can’t comment on breakfast because we felt it was a little expensive and choose to eat elsewhere.

I've stayed at 'The Bird's a couple of times when visiting the Lotus factory. The staff are soo friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. This even applies when half the factory decend on the pub, some want feeding and at half term. All this with only a couple of staff (because it should be a quiet Tuesday evening), but despite that still friendly, accommodating and always serving great food. The rooms are very spacious, quiet and comfortable as well.

Excellent stay, very nice property. Good food and drinks. Very friendly staff! A fan in the rooms would be nice.

Stayed at the Bird in Hand for four nights in August 2023. The accommodation which is in a separate block to the pub was lovely, room was really spacious, generally clean and tidy. All main amenities provided, hairdryer, iron and board, tea/coffee making facilities, some small toiletries and a range of towels including large bath sheets. The pub is great, we had Sunday lunch and breakfast on one day and it was excellent, service was really good and I would definitely recommend them for food or a relaxing drink. The room was cleaned daily but only if out of your room by 10:30am, if not, it’s not cleaned, we left one day at 10:45am and it wasn’t cleaned by the time we returned at 10pm. The accommodation is in the countryside so spiders expected but there were a lot of cobwebs, some of the cobwebs covered the whole corner of the room and behind the bedside table, so we had to clear those out before we could even access the sockets, need to pay more attention to the cobwebs to ensure they don’t build up too badly. A new spider was in the top right corner above the bed every night we returned. Also, a lot of spider webs/nest in the corner behind the door, so these are clearly not part of the routine. Tea/coffee choice was good, but wasn’t restocked daily so after the first two days the two decaf tea bags were gone. Glass bottle of still and sparkling water provided on day one but not refreshed. Overall, a lovely stay, just needs a bit more consideration for cobwebs.

I stay at a lot of hotels in the course of my work and although this stay was a personal one, I can say that it was excellent on any measure. The staff were very helpful and welcoming, the room spacious, impecably clean and with all the provisions that you would expect. I would highly recommend this hotel / accommodation, which to put into context is the first time over many years where I have felt it appropriate to do so.

Very good. Pleasant attentive staff. Will definitely stay again when visiting the area.
