We were greeted by a lovely woman called Mandy, she gave us all the relevant information to have a wonderful day. Had the added bonus of having Time Team on site too. Quite possibly one of the best days out we've had, the museum, shop and cafe were absolutely fantastic, as for the rest of the site, you really NEED to experience it. The river walk, the house, the finds area are all beautiful and the tower overlooking the burial mounds is a must, it affords stunning views of the site. All in all a breathtaking experience that we think everyone should go for. On a side note, the environmental thought and care that's gone into maintaining the woodland area to make it a haven for wildlife would put some nature reserves to shame, well done the National Trust.

An interesting place to visit, even though the archaeological digs are long-since covered now. There are plenty of photos and info boards around the house telling of the infamous digs. We can only visit the downstairs area of the house, but there's plenty to see. The walk loop around the burial mounds allows you to see the scope of them, with a viewing tower to look down on mound 1 especially. I'd recommend walking around some of the additional paths through the woods, or the overall visit may be a little short. Cafe is OK, although poor choice for vegetarian sandwiches, even before the main rush, only 1 of us could eat. If visiting on a hot day like today, take advantage of shady benches or deckchairs under the trees. There are water bottle fill locations by the entrance, and an ice cream kiosk by the house. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas (and certain indoor) so don't leave them in hot cars.

Great place to go if you are interested in history in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Seeing the mounds was amazing and seeing them from above in the high tower was great to. The exhibition hall was very interesting telling you all about King Raedwald who was buried there and what life was like back then. You can go around the downstairs of Tranmer House which tells you all about Edith Pretty and Basil Brown, and how the burial site was discovered. Dog friendly, playground for children, rest rooms, lovely cafe and gift shop, made all the more special with Time Team being there.

England's very own valley of the kings. Plenty of parking and then once the volunteers have welcomed you and given you a map of the site, you are free to wonder. There is an exhibition with replicas of the finds from mound 1, the fragments originally found are in The British Museum. There is a cafe and shop then there are walks around the site. At the burial mounds, there is a viewing tower that allows views across the burial site. There is still plenty of mystery surrounding Sutton Hoo but you will have a better understanding after visiting. Guide books are also available along with more detailed books in the shop

What a fascinating place to visit if you are interested in the historical findings at Sutton Hoo. The house is mainly a photographic record of the dig and history of the family. A very interesting trip and it was good to be able to view the burial mounds from above in the observation tower. We had a delicious Welsh rarebit at the cafe as well. Worth a visit!

Our first visit, I've been waiting many years for what I hoped would be a very special day. It was better than I had expected. Very well organised and planned site, although there were a large number of people there, we still felt there was room and space. Super friendly staff, quick service, lots to do - my wife had a very interesting hour on the tour of the mounds while I had a great walk including the tower, which is why Sutton Hoo is only 4/5. I was saddened to see there was no lift at the tower to enable those with disabilities to have the same great view from the top as I did. Nevertheless, a very special day, thank you.
