Andrew greeted us and asked if we had travelled far, saying we had he proceeded to make us a cuppa each and offered us cake - which unfortunately we couldn't have as my niece was gluten free and I am vegan - but the offer was there and much appreciated. Andrew said had we let him know he would have ensured there was something suitable for us as a snack and for breakfast. There was a kitchen we could use to prepare food, washing machine, nice conservatory to sit overlooking the garden, and a lounge with TV and dining table + free parking. Our room on the top floor didn't have a view and the roof was sloped so you needed to mind your head but there was an ensuite, the beds were comfy, a TV in the room and wifi that worked. There was a stand-up shower room off the kitchen if you wanted to stand in the shower - not just have a bath. Everything was very clean and the staff and Andrew very helpful, respectful and pleasant. Andrew made a point of learning and remembering our names. The accommodation was a short drive to Ipswich and close to the A12. On the first night we went to a nice restaurant for a pizza (vegan and gluten free) - then we discovered Chestnut and Rose vegan cafe which was only 3-minute drive from the house (very good gift shop in the post office two doors down too.) The food was fabulous and plenty of gluten free options - breakfast sorted. We went there two days running and the place was always busy and not with vegans! All in all, a very enjoyable stay - would definitely stay there again.

The car park was a bit fiddly to get in and out of especially when there were other guests.

Easy booking, checking in, and easy to find. Well located just outside Ipswich. The room was well equipped, including a fan and bottled water, which was appreciated during the hot spell. There were also shower gels, towels, etc, if you didn't bring your own. The beds were very comfortable! We didn't use the kitchen or other amenities, but they looked to be well equipped and clean and tidy. There was plenty of choice for breakfast too, though we don't usually eat breakfast, but the pain au chocolate went down well 😀

Low ceilings in the upstairs twin room. Actually, it wasn't a problem for me at all at 5ft 3; just mentioning it for those of a taller disposition! 😉

All breakfast things like cereal, milk, bread and marmalade, plus tea/coffee were provided free of charge. They even had a fruit bowl of bananas and apples etc., plus cake and buns to go with your hot drinks. Very impressed! The bathroom had a lovely shower in the bath and shampoo and shower gel was supplied. There was a fully-equipped kitchen and a cute little dining room with Van Gogh paintings all over the walls. Also, a large conservatory looking into the garden at the back of the house, with very comfortable chairs. In the garden were a table and parasol plus comfy wooded wicker-work chairs. It was so nice and relaxing to sit out in the garden or in the conservatory. The decor couldn't have been nicer.

Being able to do a quick load of washing and then iron it was a godsend. The breakfast of cereals and toast also very welcome. A four bed dorm means that disturbances are minimised. If you get to the property early enough you may get a parking space too.

Even though I have been before I still had trouble of locating the place, a combination of me being tired and the signage not being the most prominent.

Everything. Never been greeted by the host offering and making me a cup of tea before. AND cake too. Love that there was only two bunks in the room when 4 would have been possible but overcrowded

Nestle water and breakfast cereal. I boycott them for political and environmental reasons. The CEO of Nestle once publicly declared that clean water was not a basic human right. They have also aggressively promoted baby formula as a substitute for breastfeeding against the guidance of the WHO. Minor criticism considering everything else was so perfect.

Great hosts, nice comfortable property and a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Location suited me well for my weekend away with ample parking facilities available. Andrew was very helpful plus great communications!

Could do with a better full width window blind in the Bacon Bunk Room. The street lighting got in through a gap at the side of it during the night when sleeping in the upper bunk. Changed bunks the second night and got better night's sleep!

OK, this is a hostel, so it doesn't compare with a five star hotel, but Andrew gave me my own room, with bathroom, fluffy towels, free breakfast, and even a bathrobe, should I have wanted one, none of which you expect when you book a bunk in a hostel. He was very friendly and gave me a cuppa and a piece of cake when I arrived, which was much appreciated after a long drive.

Clearer signage from the road would have made it easier to find.

Loved the fact I've been made so welcome. Actually stayed for far longer than intended but it did not seem to be a problem at all. Out of town but not too far and just a nice place to recharge batteries.

Not much... There is not many options for buying provisions close by. But small price to pay for such a comfortable place to stop.

Good location and easy to find off A12/A14 in the suburbs. On street parking available in local streets. There was no reception due to self check-in.

Not much to say. Ticked all the boxes for me. Nice and easy, pitstop sleepover. Bathroom was a little bit dirty but nothing to o bad, due to hostel type of accommodation.

The host was very kind and amenable. I liked the fact that there was an oven and washing machine to use whenever.

There's not much to not like. Maybe the location but there is a decent bus service running early until late.
