Welcome to The Crown and Castle
We are newly added to the Michelin Hotel Guide, a 2 AA Rosette Restaurant and AA 5 Star Restaurant with Rooms and The East of England Tourism Awards' Small Hotel of the Year 2022-2023.
Located in Orford in the Suffolk countryside, and only a short drive from the Suffolk coast, The Crown and Castle is the perfect place to switch off from everyday life and enjoy some well-earnt downtime. In the summer months you can expect vibrant flowers, Suffolk blue skies, and alfresco dining with views of the 12th-century Orford castle, and in the winter, roaring log fires in the lounge, a homely feel and comforting cuisine.
With 21 bedrooms, a charming restaurant, beautiful garden, stunning views and more, our dedicated Folk look forward to welcoming you to our home very soon.
We welcome well-behaved pooches in selected bedrooms.
Festive Opening Hours
The Crown and Castle doors will close at midday on Christmas Eve as we welcome our Christmas package residents, reopening at midday on 27th December. And once more on New Year's Eve until New Years' Day.
