Character, individuality, history, not too large, comfortable good sized room, good food, walking distance of the Apex theatre.
Uncertainty of getting a parking space - compounded by the installation of two electric vehicle charging points. The area generally is not great for cars (due to the nature of the settlement generally and the fact that there is increasing vehicle ownership/use plus many builders transit vans also the constant need for delivery vehicles). There is a public car park in the general vicinity. N B Train travel was not an option for us.

Good food and comfortable room for one night stay. Nice to be able to control heating in bedroom . Very interesting character pub.
Service was slow at dinner - waited 45 minutes for starter. Shower in bathroom had mould/grime around bottom. Mattress on bed was a little hard for my liking.

Our room was beautifully presented and very clean, it was also very quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was included, delicious and freshly cooked. There were also cereals, fresh fruit, juices and the best yoghurt I have ever eaten. The staff were lovely and the location was very good as it was an easy 5 minute walk into town and about 15 minutes walk to the cathedral.

The room was wonderful, and the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was exceptional and again, staff really friendly & on hand to assist. Will certainly stay again.
In the rain, the metal staircase to our room was a little slippy, but it does have grips to prevent falls or slips. Some older or less mobile guests may need to be made aware of the access to rooms.

Liked it's location - 5 mins walk into town. Quirkyness of an operating brewery. Staff friendly and helpful.
Our room was right above the main bar area which was very noisy Saturday afternoon/evening. The main door coming in shook the room when it closed so relaxing was an issue. If your out all day not an issue. We had a medium sized aging dog who could not manage the rear steel staircase. Staff let us use an internal one but this came out into the main bar area and we disturbed people coming in that way because it was right next to a table in the pub. Perhaps not ideal for people with dogs or if you are aging or have a mobility issue yourself or have lots of luggage. There is a mews block in the pub which might be better if this is the case. I think the steel staircase should have more anti slip protection because this would be a problem in the rain/freeze.

Very nice room , good service throughout and an excellent breakfast included. Excellent meal on arrival. Good location near the town centre but quiet too. Friendly, helpful staff.
Lack of parking could be a problem if you could not find a space. We arrived earlier but had to go in to town 1st, as there were no car parking spaces until later in the afternoon. It would also have been good to have known about the new loyalty scheme they have just put in place when we first arrived, before paying for our room and other items, which could not then be added to the loyalty programme after paying.

Breakfast had been kept warm, but it was tasty, food didn't come at the same time as our friends on the same table. Continental choice was poor.
Lady who checked us in (blonde) was lovely. Outside area is cool.
Shower was dirty, mould and dirt on tiles and seal.
For the price could have done with a shower gel in the shower, very right with toiletries for 2.

Quirky pub with a warm welcome. Great espresso martini served in the busy bar area by friendly staff. Warm and spacious rooms. Little touches (like offering us cutlery / plates for some leftover pizza we brought back from dinner, and making sure we had an additional wine glass to take up to the room with us when I bought a bottle of wine) made us feel looked after and at ease. Fab breakfast in the morning too!

The location is great, with easy access to the town centre. The pub itself is brilliant for a beer lover, and the breakfasts are excellent. Our room was a good size, and well equipped with coffee machine and variety of teas.
Nothing to dislike, though the furniture in the room was just a little tired. The bed was very comfortable however.

Lovely place to stay. Staff very accommodating and welcoming. 10 minute walk into the centre of Bury St Edmunds. Comfortable bed and decent shower. Good beer in the pub.
We were downstairs and you could hear the people in the room above moving about. Some early morning noise but no overnight noise.

We had to walk with cases to a car park which took 13 minutes
The towels and bedding were clean but the window was rotten and the room and bathroom needed a good clean
The breakfast was less than average

Second time I've stayed here, it's a nice pub/hotel. Lots of beers on offer, good decor, cosy and comfortable. Breakfast is good.
Don't expect to get any peace and quiet until after 11.30pm at the earliest - it's a pub, so don't go to bed early expecting to go to sleep unless you bring ear plugs!! Oh and the bathroom fan is ridiculous, so noisy and takes about 30 mins to turn off.

The Old Cannon Brewery is a place full of character, with a vibrant bar and restaurant. Good location only 10 mins walk from the centre of town. Our room overlooked the courtyard and was well appointed and comfortable. We had breakfast which was good, they had a good choice of food including cereal and yoghurt as well as traditional cooked breakfast. We did not eat dinner here, but what we saw looked good. As you would expect, there is a big choice of beer to be had!
Nothing we didn't like here, although our room was quite noisy being above the courtyard and bar area. But all was quiet after 11pm. The only other criticism would be lack of parking. there is street parking in the evening and overnight but on saturday when we stayed it was all taken. the railway station is only 10 mins walk away so arriving by train is a good option. There is parking in the main centre of town a short walk away too.

Different quirky place to a regular hotel

Time taken to serve hot breakfast and lack of choice of continental.
Outside Metal stairs up to hotel room if weather wet for our room would be a concern but do have other rooms in different building so this is not an issue for all rooms so make sure ask.
