The 22-room place to stay was described as a "contemporary classic" and quiet.

It joins Tuddenham Mill and The Swan in Southwold, which has just become one of the first recipients of a One Key accolade. 

Speaking about the Orford hotel, a Michelin Guide inspector said: "It is thought that the original 12th century inn which stood on this site was built into the walls of Orford Castle.

"Most bedrooms are in chalets and many have terraces and distant sea views."

The Crown and Castle has also previously won two AA Rosettes for its on-site restaurant and was also named an AA five-star restaurant with rooms.
