This is a hotel, which means that the bar is only open to residents.
There is a small, comfortable public bar in this hotel which has 18 en-suite bedrooms. The restaurant has 2 AA rosettes, a Michelin bib gourmand, and good write-ups in all the major guides. Although the pub dates back to the 16th century it was much rebuilt in 1896.
It's located within sight of Orford Castle.
Owned until late-2019/early-2020 by Ruth and David Watson, we understand that it's now under new ownership.
Historic Interest
Historically listed as a commercial inn & posting house - in 1912 it was also listed with a motor garage. The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Crown & Castle's license was issued in 1700. A paperback book published in 1969, called "Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson** contains the following extract: Built in 1879 on the site of its predecessor & modernised in 1939. Robert Cooper, proprietor of the Orford Hotel, closed that establishment in the late 1830's & moved to The Crown & Castle. In 1969, this was a Trust House Hotel. Although the pub dates back to the 16th cent. it was much rebuilt in 1896. Located within sight of Orford Castle. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/786
