About Sorrel Horse Inn
Sorrel Horse Inn occupies an old coaching-style building on Old Norwich Road in Ipswich, the kind of low-beamed, characterful structure that has clearly seen many decades of trade as a local inn. That history is still evident in the fabric of the place, even where the bedrooms and bathrooms have been brought up to date for modern stays.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and family options for those travelling with children, and the inn runs a restaurant and bar on site serving breakfast, packed lunches and kids' meals. There's a garden with outdoor seating for warmer days, free WiFi throughout, and 24 hour reception for flexible arrivals. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking makes it an easy stop for drivers passing through Suffolk.
The surrounding area offers golf and fishing nearby, along with a scattering of pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach for evenings out. It suits guests after a straightforward, well-equipped base with genuine period character rather than a polished chain hotel.
