We stayed for just one night and had no complaints whatsoever. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly, the food was delicious, and we left feeling well-rested. Bed was comfortable. I would recommend it. Although we had a shared bathroom, it was spotless, well-maintained, and perfectly functional—so it didn’t affect our stay at all. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic beer garden, overall great.

For the price I can’t really complain and this was really just a bed for the night as we had to be somewhere local early next morning. We did not get the room we booked & initially were given a twin room. The lady found us a tight double room but this was upstairs and next to a couple of rooms that shared a bathroom in the hall. I lost count of the times the doors slammed during the night. However our room and bathroom were very clean just dated. Breakfast was great and all the staff during our stay were very pleasant, friendly & helpful. If you are looking to eat in the restaurant then best to book as this was very popular with the locals

This was my second visit. I love staying here. The staff are most welcoming, as are the locals. The hospitality, food and beers are all excellent. The hotel building, bar, restaurant and grounds are most pleasant. The cuisine was served quickly and is very tasty. It is in a lovely place, which is quiet and also not too far from the town. It is also easily accessible. Very easy going and no complications. If I go to Ipswich again I will stay at The Sorrell Horse again!

Apart from being a little far from town, we couldn't complain. The floorboards are quite creaky so it was loud when people walked upstairs. Bathroom was very clean, the shower was quite tight but the temperature was good. The breakfast was lovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly
