The Beehive Inn in Bury St. Edmunds, England

The Beehive Inn offers five private cabins located behind the pub, each with a double bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette area. Each cabin includes a fridge, electric kettle, and flat-screen TV, with parking directly outside the door. Guests receive a continental breakfast basket delivered to their room the night before for £8 per person.

The pub serves a restaurant and bar with a menu that changes regularly, including a Sunday roast trio of meats (beef, chicken, belly pork) and a gourmet tasting menu created by visiting chefs. The kitchen makes its own sorbets in flavors such as yuzu, cucumber and dill, and raspberry. The bar stocks zero-alcohol Guinness, wine, and gin, and a selection of wines and local beers.

The hotel is 1.8 km from Ickworth House, a National Trust property with parkland and a rotunda, and 5.7 km from The Apex concert venue. Guests can reach Hedingham Castle within a 30-minute drive and Ely Cathedral within 40 minutes. Free private parking on-site allows easy access to these sites without additional charges.

The Beehive Inn is a non-smoking property throughout, ensuring a smoke-free environment in both the pub and cabins. No pets are allowed on the premises, which maintains a quiet atmosphere for all guests. The property includes a garden with outdoor seating and a woodburner in the bar area for colder days.

Private check-in and check-out are available, and staff provide communication before arrival via phone or message. The pub offers food service from 6 pm to 10 pm on certain days, with a reduced menu on some evenings.
