Lovely place. Well located for lots of day trips to countryside, seaside. We booked last minute. The info from Stay In Suffolk came through quickly and was detailed and accurate. Even a complimentary early check in. Thanks for a great stay.

Great stay, Leiston is an excellent base for Suffolk. Swimming at Sizewell was brisk in April!

The four of us had a great stay. Easy parking. Easy walk into town, to the cinema etc. Short drive to beach and local walks including Thorpeness and Minsmere. The two teenagers enjoyed having their own gaming space in the office area.

Beautiful property in a great location! Within easy driving distance to all the local beaches and just round the corner from the fish and chip shop, co op and pub! The house was full of character, spacious and spotlessly clean (hard to find in a pet friendly home!) Be great to get the hot tub up and running!! Thank you for a lovely stay! We’ll definitely be back!

Great few days here. Took the dog and always slightly concerned about the security but it couldn’t have been better for that both inside and outside. The set up of the house was perfect for our visit - I was able to work in the study whilst the family used the rest of the house during the day. The bedrooms were really spacious and worked for 2 teenagers as well as my wife and I. All rooms downstairs really spacious. Walking distance to town centre was spot on for the local fish and chips as well as bits from the coop. Short drive to the beaches of which all were great - can’t fault the location.
