From tiny pubs that you would wander past if you didn't know they were there to award-winning establishments, cosy inns come in all shapes and sizes.
We asked our readers where the cosiest pub in Suffolk was.
Here is the list!
1. The Nutshell
Where: Bury St Edmunds
This little pub takes the meaning of 'cosy' to a whole new level.
Decorated inside with dark wood, Victorian paraphernalia and a mummified cat, The Nutshell is a micro-pub and one of the smallest establishments in the UK.
2. Eels Foot Inn
Where: Eastbridge
The Eels Foot Inn is the definition of a traditional British pub.
The exposed beams and low ceiling create a warm atmosphere, with cosy lighting and dark wooden features.

3. Sorrel Horse
Where: Shottisham
The Sorrel Horse in Shottisham is not only one of the cosiest pubs according to our readers, but also one that serves some of the most delicious food in the county.
Traditional pub furniture and good food draw people to this pub in their droves.
4. The Sweffling White Horse
Where: Sweffling
It is the large fireplace and brick surround that makes The Sweffling White Horse a great place to spend the colder months.
Diners can cosy up around the fire at a table and enjoy a pint or a plate of good, honest food.
5. The Moon and Mushroom
Where: Swilland
The pink walls at the Moon and Mushroom and open brick fireplace make the main room feel warm and cosy, despite how cold traditional flagstone flooring can be.
The pictures on the walls and ornaments displayed make this a place that feels loved and lived in - a home from home.
6. The Bull at Troston
Where: Troston
The Bull is a more modern take on a cosy pub, and uses soft furnishings to dampen the noise and create a comfortable place to spend a few hours enjoying food and chatting to friends and family.
The wood-burning stove is kept stoked in the colder months to create the ultimate cosy experience.
7. The Golden Hind
Where: Ipswich
Our final mention, The Golden Hind.
The atmosphere is everything in this pub, which is a favourite for good food and lovely beers, and people tend to stay for hours to enjoy chatting with locals.
