I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and airy, even better than a 4-star I recently visited, with modern facilities. The service was fabulous, with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was great for exploring Suffolk's tourist attractions like Sutton Hoo and Flatford Mill. The dining experience was fantastic, offering a variety of choices in a spacious dining room. The facilities were top-notch, adding to the overall positive experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were immaculate and finished to a most desirable standard, offering excellent space for hanging clothes and drawers. However, the room was very cold and noisy late into the night due to a party nearby. Additionally, I noticed soiled carpets and mold in the bathroom.

The location was very nice, ideal for a walk before or after a meal, and it was convenient for visiting HMS GANGES. Though approached via a tucked-away door at the rear, the hotel felt close to town yet had a countryside ambiance.

My stay at the hotel was lovely. The room was exactly what we needed, clean, and had adequate storage; the feature sleigh bed was a nice touch. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially accommodating our late check-in. The location, though initially hidden, turned out to be quiet and convenient for visiting nearby attractions. The dining experience was fantastic with plenty of choices, although the breakfast time was a bit late for my liking. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The staff were welcoming and extra helpful, the food was really tasty, and the rooms, although a bit small, had everything I needed. The adjustable heating made it very comfortable. The only drawback was the towel provision, which was initially insufficient.

The hotel is tucked away in a quiet area of Ipswich, making it a pleasant and character-filled stay. Although the public areas are limited, the exploration of the Suffolk Coast is easily accessible, offering a great value for the location. The service, while friendly, had some hiccups in the dining experience, but overall, a comfortable and convenient choice.

My room, located at the front of the property, had a small heater but was cozy and clean. The shower room and sink were indeed tiny, but above the kitchen, it was surprisingly convenient for a short stay.

The service was wonderful, with the staff, including the chefs, being very friendly. Although there were some mix-ups with the menu and the waitress got our order wrong, her demeanor was lovely. The laundry service was a plus.

The hotel is approached by a door tucked away at the rear, providing a quiet stay in Ipswich. The area is full of character, and the occasional horses passing by added a unique touch. The access to the Suffolk Coast without the high prices of popular nearby towns like Southwold is a real plus.
Dining

The dining experience was average in terms of value for money. The breakfast was extra and made the stay a bit pricier compared to other B&Bs in the area. I found the ribs from the breakfast menu to be a unique touch.
Facilities

There was little to no public sitting area, and the bar had limited space with only a few tables and chairs. However, the facilities, in general, were decent but nothing exceptional.
