Lovely quaint pub
We enjoyed our three night stay at Eels Foot Inn. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Set in beautiful countryside but nearby to Aldeburgh and Southwold. Lovely generous breakfast included in our stay and a good choice of home cooked food available in the evening. Would definitely recommend.

Relaxing stay
Lovely place to stay. And plenty of room for our daughters travel cot. Food was lovely for breakfast and filling. Evening food was nice but not very filling.
Staff were amazing and so helpful. Massive garden for children.
About £15 for a main
Kids meals £7
Pudding £7

Eels Foot
We have used this pub for over 40 years when visiting Minsmere and camping nearby. This year we decided to book a room for 3 nights, breakfast included. Breakfast was plentiful and served by cheerful staff. The evening pub meals offered plenty of choice. Our room was large with en suite and was comfortable
