Quirky & Original; loved our stay after a really long drive from Cumbria, which we forgot instantly?!...we felt so comfortable, the accommodation and the food was amazing, and it was so peaceful that we slowed down to a Suffolk pace. Brilliant and unexpected.

The Golden Key was an exceptional pub stay. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. It was decorated country-modern and absolutely loved the beams in the room. Bathroom was great too. The breakfast was very tasty and filling.
Nothing, was perfect.

Super cute village, the pub/accommodation is only 10 min walk from snape maltings .
15min from the seaside. It’s the perfect picturesque getaway!!
We love it all.
However, if you use to the busy life and the 24h service you will have to lay back a little as taxi would need to be booked in advance and restaurants/pubs will only serve meals during lunch and dinner hours.

We had no real issues , just missed the wow factor.

Decent accomodation above a pub within walking distance of the fabulous Snape Maltings. Our room was capacious and recently renovated. Dinner was fairly standard pub fare but hearty and real. Breakfast was better than average for a pub. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Pub is also a 'local' and looks a bit tired in parts. We didn't really mind that though.

good local food and if you don't eat there, the owners have a very good seafood restaurant nearby
4.0
The room was nice, the bathroom had good facilities, the room fan kept us cool. They allow dogs which is great.
Breakfast didn't start until 9 o'clock, we didn't know that until we arrived. I wouldn't have booked if I had known that. We had to wait, starving in our room until we could go and eat, not the best start to a day on holiday.
The food was very hit and miss - the first thing I ate there had to be sent back because it was inedible (sour liver...!).
The breakfast was served in a room full of flies. Some of the cutlery and teacups were dirty and/or stained. Every morning when breakfast was served we were hoovered around whilst trying to eat.
On Friday night we returned about 10 and the pub was already long closed! Basically no staff are on site for quite a lot of the time, so you have to arrive during lunch service to even get into your room. We got stuck in traffic and arrived at 2.15 - we had to wait 3 hours to check in!
Also, we were there for 4 nights and nobody changes the bed, or replaces used mugs and tea bags, or brings new towels.
5.0
Location was quite good, large car park, staff friendly
Room large but basic
Porch area as you came into smelt stale and unpleasant when the external door was closed
Bed was very very low, so if you suffer any problems bending, not recommended
Breakfast was large but quality of cooking not what I expected,
We saw three evening meals sent back over two evenings that we actually ate in the pub

Very good; kippers - do not always see this on the menu.
One slight issue; breakfast served at 9am -no flexibility. Rather late for anyone facing a busy day.

The room was spacious yet characterful. Breakfast delicious and included. Staff very friendly. Right by Snape Maltings.
Would be great to have some croissants or pastries or fruit and yoghurt with the cereal options in the morning.

Creaky bed?

The menu was good but all the food itself was a bit rushed, nearly every meal missed something. Not huge - but eg no butter with the toast that came with the kippers. Again, not a biggie, but it felt like we were being a pain asking for stuff.
The rooms are very clean but could really have done with a rug on the floor, they were stark and not at all cosy. Probably fine in summer. The sofa bed in our room was too uncomfortable to be slept on so my daughter had to share the main bed with me.
6.0
Convenient walking distance to Snape Maltings. Pleasant staff.
Bed was sagging and not comfortable.
