Lovely quaint pub

We enjoyed our three night stay at Eels Foot Inn. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Set in beautiful countryside but nearby to Aldeburgh and Southwold. Lovely generous breakfast included in our stay and a good choice of home cooked food available in the evening. Would definitely recommend.
