About Ravenwood Hall Hotel

Ravenwood Hall Hotel occupies a sixteenth-century hall at Rougham, on the edge of Bury St Edmunds, set within seven acres of secluded Suffolk grounds with a history that dates back to the time of Henry VIII. The main hall holds seven individually designed rooms, giving the hotel an intimate, country-house feel rather than the scale of a larger resort hotel.

The hotel's restaurant is a central part of a stay here, drawing on the surrounding Suffolk countryside for its menus, alongside a hotel bar for something more relaxed. Free parking and complimentary wi-fi are provided throughout, and dog-friendly rooms make it a practical choice for guests travelling with pets, something not every period property in the area offers.

Its setting a short drive from Bury St Edmunds gives Ravenwood Hall the best of both worlds: genuine rural quiet and mature grounds, with the Abbey Gardens, Cathedral and town-centre restaurants only minutes away by car.

The ONLY negative was the public use of the pool and tables and chairs. Only available to residents after 5pm and weekends unless you want to join the noisy crowds. Apart from that, which we had seen as a deal-maker in the hotspell, it is a lovely place. They chilled our own champagne and the chef made a marvellous Caesar Salad despite not on the menu. Emily is an upcoming star in hospitality in the eyes of a pair of well-travelled clients. We shall return!

I visit fairly frequently since the new owners have taken over, the decor is really aesthetically pleasing. The staff are so attentive and polite, nothing is too much trouble. I have not stayed here overnight but I'm sure it would be perfect. It's a real escape to a beautiful Old rural hotel with great surroundings. But! the thing I really want to comment on is the food! I had homemade ale battered haddock ( huge) and chips with a fresh side salad. It was the best I've ever had....even beating aldeburgh ! I am a fussy foodie, so hopefully this tells you ,that the food here is amazing .....and well priced.

We went for a Sunday roast for my mums birthday and it was great value, a fantastic service as always and lovely setting. We have been many times over the last 15 years and never had a bad experience. The Turkish waiter who has had long service there goes above and beyond and is a real asset to the company.

We got married at Ravenwood in October last year. We stayed for 3 nights. It was amazing from start to finish. On the day Emily and the team could not have been more accommodating. The day flowed perfectly and the service was brilliant. We then enjoyed a couple of nights to celebrate and unwind. Again service and food was excellent. Beautiful setting, beautiful place. Loved it. And special mention to Cheddar the Cockerel.

Diners like this hotel's delicious food, including the Sunday carvery and roast beef, and appreciate the beautiful grounds and characterful buildings. They also highlight the friendly and attentive staff, and mention the great value.

Some reviews mention the service can be disorganized.
