Great B&B. Very friendly staff. Good quality food - nothing fancy. The steak and kidney pie was excellent. The beer brewed there is brilliant. Highly recommended.

Another good stay

Apart from Hotels.com not sending the booking to them it was an amazing stay. The receptionist was superb, helpful and apologetic. The room was cosy, warm with a comfortbale bed and a nice en-suite shower room. Food in the restaurant was amazing, great choice, fresh and delicious

Staff were friendly, nice atmosphere in the bar. The curtains in the room we stayed in let a lot of light in, they really need blackout linings. The Eggs benedict my wife had for breakfast was not nice, eggs were overcooked and the bacon was not great.

The bottle bins being emptied outside our window at 5:30 in the morning was NOT what we would call a relaxing wake-up alarm. Also - what pub closes at 7pm? Nightmarish. We had nowhere to hang out, and we chose the place because we thought we would be able to spend time with friends at the bar. There was a iron burn in the (frankly) nasty, threadbare carpet in our room. Urgh. Take slippers if you're going to stay. Also - breakfast was promised to us early the morning we left but staff didn't communicate to each other so we went hungry. Would not recommend. Very disappointing.

Interesting venue

The venue is interesting and service very good. Room was well equipped. The bed, although in good condition was far too hard for my taste. Breakfast good. Lack of parking is not great, but their location doesn’t allow for this.

Disappointing

Everybody at the Old Cannon Brewery were amazingly friendly and welcoming but the rooms were awful. There is no sound insulation between the rooms so the sound, from the room next door, of coughing, spitting, flushing the toilet, opening and closing the shower doors, switching the bathroom light on and off and the extractor fan, we could hear it all. During the night the heating switches off, and with no double glazing, it leaves the room icy cold. With a very heavy duvet, one is left alternatively sweating or freezing. Unfortunately when disappointment is the main emotion when staying in a hotel, it's human nature to notice other problems. Like the door from the bar to the outside, continually slamming shut. Obviously not a problem during the day or early evening, but if you're not a nightbird with an early start, the banging becomes an interminable annoyance. A major inconvenience is parking, with none available at the property and no permits made available by the property for the streets outside. I'm afraid being told there's a car park 10 minutes walk away is not what you want to hear after a 3 hour drive to get there! I was born in Bury and hate to criticise anything about it, but we'll never stay at the Old Cannon Brewery again!

Little Gem in Bury St Edmunds

The accommodation was immaculate. The room was warm and inviting. The breakfast was excellent. Eggs benedict cooked to perfection was a dish I always wanted to try. It was beautiful, with two runny yolks. This place is a little gem in Bury St Edmunds 5 minute walk to the town center I cannot recommend it enough 5 stars.

Ale lovers haven in the heart of Bury St Edmunds

Needed a place to stay overnight with my mum after attending a works Christmas dinner at the Angel Hotel. Found the Old Cannon Brewery, which was within easy walking distance to town and had free on-road parking right outside. Certainly didn't expect to be staying in such a charming well run place, with its own brewed real ales and a great breakfast. Room was spotless, comfortable and came with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. Was so impressed I've bought a voucher for a future stay as a Christmas present for my boyfriend. Am already looking forward to staying again!

Good overall. The welcome could have been a bit more engaging and although the website said no parking I would think twice about booking again as it rained a lot and was a walk to a car park

Good base.

A nice place, although access to room was odd as you had to go outside and up what seemed like a fire escape stairs. Weather was awful, so we got wet. Not sure why we couldn’t access rooms through the pub as our room was clearly above the pub . Very comfortable bed, good shower. Great breakfast , shame only one member of staff on duty for all guests. No seating room inside pub to have a drink but covered garden was lovely with heaters and blankets, very warm and cozy. Staff on arrival were indifferent and no staff around as we left.
