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

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!

Review of The Sorrel Horse Inn, Barham,Suffolk.

Ive eaten there before ,so when i needed to stay near Stowmarket i opt to give it a try. We had a nice dinner Sat eve and retired early even though they had music on that night. A good nights sleep and a really good full english breakfast in the morning which set us up for the day ahead! We will certainly stay there again!

Clean good sized room, towels, kettle, mugs/tea/coffee making facilities and ample breakfasts. Stayed in family rm and lucky to not have other people stay next door so had the shower/toilet to ourselves. Staff were nice, friendly and polite. Flexible in having takeaway sarnies for lunch in place of breakfast. Decor a bit dated and room a little too room, but on the whole felt very comfortable. Thanks 😊
