Accomodation in Bury St Edmunds

Hi All,

Just wanted to put a quick post up with details of places to stay in Bury St Edmunds.  As the wedding is going to be held in a church near the town centre, and the reception venue is only 3 miles out of town, I will only be mentioning hotels in Bury St Edmunds.

First mention should go to the Grange, wich is the hotel where our reception will be held.  We have been warned that rooms are filling up, so if you decide you would like to stay there, get in touch asap!

The cannon brewery is a really nice independant free house on cannon street in Bury St Edmunds.  About 5 minutes walk from the town centre (and about 10 from the church) it's very nicely located.  The hotel's rooms are opposite (and far enough away to avoid disturbance) from the cannon brewery's bar, where you can try the beer brewed on the premises.

The Abbey hotel is close to the town centre and the church and is a very pleasant privately owned hotel.  Part of the hotel is comprised of a number of grade 2 listed building, carefully converted inside to suit modern needs.

It doesn't really get much closer to the church than this.  Greene kings flagship pub, the dog and partridge, is located in the town centre, and is just off the road that the church can be found on.  Admittedly a little lively on a weekend, the accomodation has been built to avoid guest being disturbed by those in the pub.  When not teaming the dog and partridge is a very nice place for a relaxed drink and a meal.

For those seeking a little luxury over the weekend, the Angel hotel offers 4 stars of it.  Located in the heart of Bury, just opposite the old Abbey gate, the angel is perfectly situated for exploring the town and reaching the church.  I may need to check my facts on this, but I believe Tim and Judith stayed in the Angel hotel after their marriage.

For those of you planning on staying up all night celebrating with us, and who just need a place to crash when we're done, the Ramada hotel is really well situated on the outskirts of Bury, and offer very good rates on their rooms too.

Bear in mind that all the websites I've posted here are for the official websites of the hotels, and I'm sure if you look through booking agents you'll be able to find cheaper room rates too.  Please get in touch with me if there's somewhere you can reccomend and I'll add it to this list.  I hope this helps those of you coming down to help plan your stay.  We can't wait to see you soon.

Tom and Naomi
