Nice location very close to the train station and a short walk to the town centre. The owners kept good communication on and before the day of arrival. Nice to see the Qibla direction provided in the room. The room was a good size, clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a guest lounge which we only discovered in the morning, it would have been nice to know about the other facilities available on arrival. There was plenty of parking and it was a super easy check-in/out.

I needed somewhere as affordable and convenient as possible, very close to Ipswich station. The Bridge House gave me just what I needed, while also being quite comfortable, too.

Disappointing stay.

The room was clean, but the shared shower and toilet facilities were very small and there was no wash hand basin in the toilet! Unfortunately there was a lingering smell of cooking, even on the second floor where our room was located. Considering the price it wasn’t too bad as a bed for the night, but I won’t be coming back

By far my worst stay ever...

By far my worst stay ever and ive travelled for work for years. It seemed more like a hostel rather than a bed & breakfast. The carpet looked dirty. I had a breakout of spots on my body by the 2nd day. I had a spider crawling all over tge bed & my clothes as I trued to get dressed. I stayed 4 nights & the bins were not emptied at all.
Mould/water damage
Water not flowing properly in sink and also in shower

This place is a basic guest house, no breakfast offered, choice of on suite or shared bathrooms, the rooms are small with tea and coffee stuff even a microwave, but no shower/ shampoo offered in the rooms. Yes it has free parking next to the property, yes it is 5 minutes from Ipswich train station, yes it is 20 minutes to the town centre, but would I stay there again no.
