Welcome to The Crown and Castle
The East of England Tourism Awards' Small Hotel of the Year 2022-2023, 2 AA Rosette Restaurant and AA 5 Star Restaurant with Rooms.
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.
