Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Milsoms Kesgrave Hall from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Milsoms Kesgrave Hall is a beautifully situated hotel, with very well-maintained grounds close to Pin Mill, Sutton Hoo and the Suffolk coast and heath parkland. Guests appreciate the well-equipped and clean rooms, which feature complimentary tea, coffee, soft drinks, biscuits, fresh milk and Elemis products. The breakfast receives high praise, and the restaurant offers tasty meals, though some have found the food only above average or not luxurious enough for the spa day price. The Gatehouse is ideal for larger groups, allowing guests to cook in an open-plan kitchen while also being close to the bar and restaurant.
