I stayed at easyHotel Ipswich, the members of the staff were incredible and even with hands full they done their best to accommodate me and my partner. The rooms were small but okay to stay and go explore.

The perfect place for a city break in Norwich

Reviewed By TravellikeAndrew

Had a fantastic nights stay here. My room was clean, comfortable and spacious. While I didn't use it on my night's stay, the kitchenette would be perfect to cook a straightforward meal. It's easily found and is walking distance from Riverside, train station and City Center. Would comfortably suit a couple and a perfect location for a weekend or longer in Norwich.

Needs a refresh

Reviewed By 754tarac

Very over priced (£185 p/n) considering the appearance of our room. Stains on the carpets, dust on the bed (4 poster - what's the point of a 4 poster bed without a canopy?), and the limescale / grot around the bottom of the shower screen was awful. The toiletries (little bottles of hair/body wash) were beautifully presented in the bathroom.. haha, I mean they were shoved into one of the plastic drinking cups, as were the 2 bars of soap... Mattress - rock hard... no give in it at all (and I like medium to firm). I appreciate it's down to what you like, but I questioned whether we were sleeping on the bed slats rather than a mattress as there was just so little give or bounce in it The rooms are "individually" decorated apparently, which usually means there's a theme to each one... not here... bland apart from a bright blue canvas on the wall - they need to sack the interior decorator I think.... nothing seems to tie in together and it just doesn't seem welcoming or comfortable. I would've been happier in a Travelodge to be honest Food - evening meal was good, generous qty and tasty. Breakfast was OK too, just lacked some pastries Staff - all friendly enough.... I think overall it just needs some money and time thrown at it

Great B&B with exceptional welcome

Reviewed By marchmont

We stayed at Church Farmhouse for two nights in September 2021. It is in a peaceful location in a small village between Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket. Alison is an excellent host - very welcoming, friendly and chatty in a relaxing way. We were in Rose, a good size double with everything you need - comfortable bed, sofa and large bathroom (bath and separate shower). Alison provides a great breakfast - we can especially recommend the sausages from Newmarket. Highly recommended.

We stayed in 2 of the rooms which were delightful - spacious and comfortable. We also had dinner in the pub which had a good selection of delicious meals. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and my husband really enjoyed the Adnams beer. We’d definitely recommend a visit.

Walberswick is lovely, to enjoy your stay do your homework on place to stay.

Reviewed By Dottytravell

A budget room I can understand that's what we paid for BUT pictures do not tell the full story, beginning of season you shouldn't expect to have flaking paint on the walls, it was dog friendly, so WHY have a dog friendly room at the front door, obviously dog hear every noise and bark, notices up in the room saying CONSIDER OTHER USERS we spend all our time trying to keep the dog quiet, but at eleven o'clock another guest came in like a stampede, same guest next morning at six went out in the same manner.

The Ship Inn

Escape to the North Norfolk coast & enjoy an idllyic beach getaway at The Ship Inn. Our restaurant with rooms is the perfect place for eating, drinking & relaxing, exuding nautical charm where you can walk straight onto the golden sands of Mundesley Beach. We operate a 72 hour cancellation policy. We're proud to be a dog friendly establishment

Came home early due to room noise

Reviewed By hellenich

I booked a 2 night stay at The Ship for my husbands birthday weekend and our dog. We booked an executive seaview room and it was really nicely furnished and the view was nice but we had the kitchen extractor fan right next to our window from 7.30am-10.30pm! It was room 1, they offered another room but it was not as nice. The staff just kept saying that the fan was legislation so must keep running, that may well be the case but does it have to be facing a bedroom?? There was no mention of it when we booked and for £230 a night I feel the service should be better. I recorded the noise as it was so bad but tripadvisor won’t let me upload it. We had a nice table for dinner although the staff who had finished their shifts were sat behind like a staff room, not very professional! Would definitely not return or recommend.
