The Bell Hotel, Saxmundham

Beales Hotels hope to complete the purchase of the Bell Hotel in Saxmundham, Suffolk towards the end of February. This Grade II listed hotel in the heart of the town is a similar age to West Lodge Park, and is close to Snape, Aldeburgh, Orford, Dunwich, Southwold and Framlingham, a beautiful coastal area less than two hours from West Lodge Park.

A two stage refurbishment of this historic building will take place.

Ashley Beale will be General Manager, ably assisted by Matthew Croxford as Deputy.

The £36k knock through scheme from the John Evelyn Room to the King Charles Room is almost finished, and there will be more photos next month, but for now here is work in progress.

This will enable larger parties and groups to book the whole West Lodge Park Suite, but two sets of double doors will enable them to be let separately when required. The finest suite of banqueting rooms in North London for a special occasion.

Look out for a series of special events at West Lodge Park over the next couple of months including: Valentine’s weekend 11^th -14^th February...

... Wedding Open Day 20^th February...

Violin and Piano Concert evening on 18^th March...

...and Mother’s Day weekend 26^th – 27^th March.
