Disappointing

Everybody at the Old Cannon Brewery were amazingly friendly and welcoming but the rooms were awful. There is no sound insulation between the rooms so the sound, from the room next door, of coughing, spitting, flushing the toilet, opening and closing the shower doors, switching the bathroom light on and off and the extractor fan, we could hear it all. During the night the heating switches off, and with no double glazing, it leaves the room icy cold. With a very heavy duvet, one is left alternatively sweating or freezing. Unfortunately when disappointment is the main emotion when staying in a hotel, it's human nature to notice other problems. Like the door from the bar to the outside, continually slamming shut. Obviously not a problem during the day or early evening, but if you're not a nightbird with an early start, the banging becomes an interminable annoyance. A major inconvenience is parking, with none available at the property and no permits made available by the property for the streets outside. I'm afraid being told there's a car park 10 minutes walk away is not what you want to hear after a 3 hour drive to get there! I was born in Bury and hate to criticise anything about it, but we'll never stay at the Old Cannon Brewery again!

Little Gem in Bury St Edmunds

The accommodation was immaculate. The room was warm and inviting. The breakfast was excellent. Eggs benedict cooked to perfection was a dish I always wanted to try. It was beautiful, with two runny yolks. This place is a little gem in Bury St Edmunds 5 minute walk to the town center I cannot recommend it enough 5 stars.

Ale lovers haven in the heart of Bury St Edmunds

Needed a place to stay overnight with my mum after attending a works Christmas dinner at the Angel Hotel. Found the Old Cannon Brewery, which was within easy walking distance to town and had free on-road parking right outside. Certainly didn't expect to be staying in such a charming well run place, with its own brewed real ales and a great breakfast. Room was spotless, comfortable and came with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. Was so impressed I've bought a voucher for a future stay as a Christmas present for my boyfriend. Am already looking forward to staying again!

Good overall. The welcome could have been a bit more engaging and although the website said no parking I would think twice about booking again as it rained a lot and was a walk to a car park

Good base.

A nice place, although access to room was odd as you had to go outside and up what seemed like a fire escape stairs. Weather was awful, so we got wet. Not sure why we couldn’t access rooms through the pub as our room was clearly above the pub . Very comfortable bed, good shower. Great breakfast , shame only one member of staff on duty for all guests. No seating room inside pub to have a drink but covered garden was lovely with heaters and blankets, very warm and cozy. Staff on arrival were indifferent and no staff around as we left.

One night stay

We thought that it offered excellent value for money. The room itself was basic but had everything we required just needed to be updated and refreshed. Bedding was clean and the bed was comfortable. We have to said the food and level of service was amazing. We arrived on the Sunday and booked in for their Sunday lunch. We had the beef brisket which just fell apart and could not wait to try the breakfast which was included with the booking and have to say it did not disappoint. We would definitely stay again

Nice room with comfy bed.

One night stay: breakfast included. Had a very tasty meal in the pub below. The room was very nice with a comfy bed, albeit the access was via fairly steep outside stairs. The room was a little noisy until closing time as a beer event was on, however once 'closing time' arrived, all noice ceased and we slept very well. We enjoyed our short stay.
