our stay was fantastic! it exceeded my expectations during this christmas party, with lovely, friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. the breakfast was delightful with freshly baked pastries and a selection of local delicacies.

the shower was missing in the room.

Check-in presented some hiccups, as information about parking and reservations wasn’t clear ahead of time, especially concerning the pay & display parking across the street. The bath lacked a mixer tap for hair washing and grab rails for easier access, which could be a concern for some guests. At night, the outside electrical noise interrupted sleep, making it hard to fully enjoy the otherwise tranquil setting. Breakfast could also be unsteady, with limited options available, and delays were frequent during busy times.

we recently stayed at the jolly sailor on our honeymoon and it was amazing. the warm welcome after a long walk esp. in stormy weather was just what we needed. from the great ales to the scrumptious local food, everything exceeded our expectations.

the shower was missing

Room was massive and had an exceptionally large bed! Cozy atmosphere for a relaxing night in.

I can just recommend for short stay

Charming room, delightful terrace, the bed was exceptionally comfortable and provided a cozy atmosphere, complemented by the free wi-fi and an electric kettle for utmost convenience.

Great welcome and memorable meal. too noisy at night.

the jolly sailor has an excellent location right across from the pub. the garden view is stunning, and the room was huge with a super comfy bed. it was so quiet at night, perfect for a relaxing sleep! the hosts were incredibly hospitable, and we loved having coffee in the room with high-quality toiletries. breakfast was a nice addition too.

would recommend

the jolly sailor was just fab! we had a lovely stay in a gigantic room with a super comfy bed. the staff were really friendly and helpful too. the food was amazin, especially breakfast, and the location is perfect near orford quay. loved chillin in the garden with a great view and watching the swallows!

The room had a cozy feel with a lovely terrace outside. The bed felt ultra-comfortable, perfect for a restful night. I appreciated the abundance of hot water in the bathroom despite it only having a bath. the arrival experience left much to be desired. I felt completely ignored during check-in, which dampened our spirits after a long journey. No one provided information about breakfast or Wi-Fi, which was frustrating. Breakfast itself turned out to be a bit chaotic, with nothing laid out properly. The location suited us well since it was quiet, but the attention to detail and service needs improvement. the Jolly Sailor has a lot of charm but could benefit from better management and a more welcoming atmosphere.

great location but missed some breakfast options

The location was perfect for enjoying the surrounding area. The full English breakfast exceeded my expectations, and the selection of beers in the bar was delightful.

The room was super cozy with a massive bed that was very comfy. It had a nice atmosphere for a relaxing night in. The room was spacious. The friendly staff made our stay even better. Pretty chill overall, but could have used a shower curtain in the bath for easier showers. It was quiet at night, which was great for sleep.

had a fab stay at the jolly sailor! the room was super cosy with a massive bed that was veery comfy. the location was perfect, just a short walk to the quay and great places to eat. the staff were frendly and made us feel at home. Brekkie was really nice too. loved the character of the inn and the history behind it.

only downside was that the bar closed kinda early and coulda used a shower curtain in the bath for easier showers.
