The Crown and Castle

Orford restaurant with rooms and its own doggie table

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“An AA five-star restaurant with rooms on Market Hill in Orford, under the castle keep, with a two AA Rosette restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide. Five garden rooms with private terraces take dogs, and the restaurant keeps one dedicated doggie table. It suits a food-led weekend on the quieter southern stretch of the Suffolk coast. Book early because both the dog rooms and the dog table go fast.

Dogs stay in the five garden rooms, which have a private terrace onto a shared garden. Dogs are welcome in the bar and at the one dedicated doggie table in the restaurant. If that table is taken, the private dining room may be offered.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
