Inspector comments
"Thoughtful styling, quality cooking, relaxed and assured hospitality."
Overview
The Packhorse Inn is situated just a short drive from Newmarket in the heart of a village close to a medieval bridge over the River Kennet. The property has sixteen individually designed, tastefully appointed bedrooms, all with many thoughtful touches and views of the surrounding hills, after which the rooms are named. The open-plan public spaces include a choice of seating areas and dining options that offer some very accomplished cooking. Dogs are very much welcome.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men.
