Property information

The Golden Key is packed full of original character, beams, open fires and quirky details which make it a fantastic pub to visit, any time of the year. With two ensuite rooms situated above the premises (one of them being dog friendly), we’re also the perfect place to stay that’s conveniently located to nearby Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, Orford, Framlingham and Woodbridge. We have three fantastic B’n’B rooms, two situated above the premises, which are both ensuite and one attached to the side of the building, also ensuite. Each room has been sympathetically decorated and restored to provide a comfortable, relaxed environment away from home and the perfect base to explore the Suffolk coast and countryside. We are a doggy friendly pub and one of the rooms is available for our furry friends to stay.
