Satis House Hotel

The breakfast was excellent; and the location of the hotel was ideal for exploring the Suffolk coast The room was comfortable and stylish. The hotel was situated in large grounds with an impressive display of mature coniferous trees.

There was a problem with the toilet flush. It took a long time to fill up with water. Also, the main shower was lukewarm, so we had to use the attachment in the bath.

Great location, for a weekend away with my brother. Quick check in, large room, exellent breakfast.

Wasny able to get an evening meal as the restaurant was closed, but plenty of choice in the area for alternatives.

We chose to stay in the Yoxford area as we planned to visit local villages and Minsmere RSPB reserve over the weekend. We had read that the hotel was "quirky" which appealed to us. We stayed in the Minsmere room which was large, well furnished and equipped. The bed was very comfortable. Everywhere was very clean. Throughout the hotel the ornaments seemed very "colonial" but fitted the age of the property and were indeed quirky and interesting. The breakfast was very good indeed and the manager was friendly and helpful. A great overnight stay for us, celebrating a rather special birthday.

Nothing to dislike in the hotel and grounds at all. The stairs may be a little tricky for some people, especially with lots of luggage, though doubtless help would be available.

Convenient location.

The water pressure was pathetic. A shower was hardly possible. The breakfast was not good. The room was dusty. The entrance drive is on a corner, making an exit dangerous.

Nice enough place.Reception was good.

Every hour the dogs were barking... so not a great nights sleep....You take your life in your hands exiting the place.

This is a really good value hotel. really interesting decor, lovely big room, comfy bed, friendly and professional staff and a great breakfast.

The hotel could do with a bit of modernisation. The staff is very friendly and helpfulVery nice breakfast was served with fresh produce. 8 minutes walk from Darsham rail station so good location.

Comfortable bed. Good air conditioner in the garden room. Decent breakfast.

The property was not well kept. It is listed as a 3 star hotel which it certainly isn’t. There is no sign at the entrance to prove this, which you would expect. There was no-one on reception on arrival and there was an attempt to put us in an upstairs room, not the garden room we had booked ( this room was considerably cheaper than the one we had paid for). We were eventually given the room we booked. It was a good size but the shower proved to be a problem. It was useless with only tepid water and water flooding out of the hose attachment when it was used. I brought this to the attention of a staff member who told us how to set it and we tried again. No joy! Next day we were told that it must be faulty so we were given the key to an adjoining room to shower. It was exactly the same. Looking back at other reviews there seems to be a reoccurrence of this problem which the management do not seem to want to solve. The restaurant was closed for the whole 3 days we were there. We only ever saw two rooms in the building; the breakfast room and the entrance. The owners of the hotel do not seem to be interested in being professional and there is little concern about being there to welcome guests and make them comfortable during their stay. It seems to be a chore for them. Having stayed in many, many hotels including a fair number of ‘boutique’ hotels I can honestly say that this is the worst in my experience. I have never had to write a review like this before and it is sad that I am having to do so.

Good location with easy access to Southwold

Our bed was not very comfortableVery small bathroom

The staff are very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Great breakfast.

Location was perfect for getting to work, Satis house beggars belief with the decoration, words simply aren't enough. Over the top but in a fantastic and entertaining way. The staff are beyond attentive & helpful. Breakfast was amazing every day and always freshly cooked to order not buffet style.Restaurant for evening meal was good solid food, very nice with a decent choice every day, no evening meal on Sunday when i stayed, any special requests or special diets happily catered for with a little notice. absolutely would stay again.

Avoid the attic room if at all possible, very low celling and door frame & colleague injured head.Will not suit a minimalist.

Rooms are large and beds reasonably comfortable. Very handy location for weddings at Wilderness Reserve (4 min drive). Room is fairly clean and sound insulation is good if windows are closed.

Most lacklustre shower I’ve ever had in a hotel in terms of temperature and water pressure - a dribble would be a generous description. On arrival (4pm) the check in form with personal details and room key was left unattended on the desk, along with credit card receipt - not great security, interactions with staff fairly odd in general. Declined breakfast. Decor is very heavy on the taxidermy.

Great quirky hotel very nice & polite landlady.

No food due to staff being ill but no fault of the owner.

Breakfast was good but limited choice for the price paid

Insufficient milk sachets and nobody on site to request additional ones.

Interesting building and decor nice location.

Feels like a little lack of maintenance in places. But o er all very nice.

Breakfasts were exceptional with a lot of choice. Also the owner and staff were very helpful.It was nice to be able to park in the grounds of the hotel.Beds were very comfy.

Peaceful place and very helpful.

The decor is unusual, and may not be to everyone’s taste. Definitely eccentric but does give it character.

The only thing we liked was the manager.

On arrival we were told that all the staff were off sick therefore the restaurant and bar were not open although some food could be cooked for us. We had booked the restaurant but at no time prior to going were we informed that everything was closed. We were required to notify the manager what we wanted for breakfast the night before. On reading the guest information it bore no resemblance to what we had. We will not be staying there again and would not recommend it to anyone. Our room, although clean, was not what we had expected.

The beautiful exterior of the house, the quirky character of the interior and the confortable bed.

The plumbing ... the bathroom seemed to have been recently fitted and looked modern, but we couldn't get more than a trickle of hot water in the shower, it was difficult to turn it on and we couldn't get the bath to fill properly. Considering the price for a room-only stay this was disappointing.The dangerous exit from the driveway on a bend onto such a busy road. And the poor signage – non-existent on the approaches to the house, very faded and almost hidden in greenery close to the gates. If we hadn't already know where it was it would have been quite hard to turn in to the entrance safely.

Lovely comfortable bed. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order.Sarah is lovely - nothing was too much for her - she is a credit to Satis House.

I can only agree with previous comments re signage but was advised this will be updated when the main road is updated. Also windows are due to be replaced which will make a bid difference.
