Barbara and Len very kindly accommodated me at the last minute and I was so glad I stayed, it is such a peaceful rural setting in the countryside with lovely views all around. The studio room was huge with everything I needed, a comfy bed, large bathroom, everywhere spotlessly clean. Breakfast was great, freshly squeezed orange juice was a real treat, and I enjoyed a good chat with Len. I wish I could’ve stayed longer, and hope to return.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this establishment but everything was terrific. Travelling on a great value two month 1st class Eurailpass, I arrived by Greater Anglia train punctual to the minute and walked 150 metres. The pleasant lady owner stored my case. Arriving back at 1900 on a Friday night, the bar was humming. I enjoyed a delicious seafood platter, although it lacked large prawns as I am used to in Australia and Philippines. It had a good amount of salad. Food has improved in England from my first visit 30 tears ago when dining was poor. The accommodation is not suitable for the disabled as stairs are steep. The room was spacious and delightful with the feminine touch evident in the bee theme even on the doona cover. There were two chairs, classy furniture, excellent lighting and a TV. Lamps were trendy. No aircon so on a 29 degree day the room might be stuffy. A wide range of breakfast items were supplied including yoghurt. Some were in the fridge in the corridor. The bathroom also had great shower gel and shampoo plus even cotton ear buds. Shower pressure was reasonable and hot water sufficient. Towels were good but no bathmat. One mosquito greeted me at dawn. It was dealt with. There was some intruding light early evening as no blackout curtains in the bathroom or to the side of the bed. Great to see the intermodal Freightliner and GBRailFreight trains belting through Westerfield, keeping trucks with their cowboy drivers off the congested roads. The owners here have done a great job with the hotel that at GBP60 was great value.

All the staff were helpful and welcoming. We only stayed for 1 night while visiting the Parham Airfield Museum and then Sutton Hoo which were not too far away by car. Our double room was very clean and comfortable with air conditioning if needed. The hotel restaurant is closed on Sunday evenings but that wasn't a problem as there is a Pub just across the road which does meals. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. We did have a cooked breakfast at the hotel which was tasty.

I have been looking at hotels with my father for a while, and found this hotel to be the best bang for the buck when it comes to location and facilities. Staff was absolutely professional and especially Heather was incredibly helpful when it came to suggestions for places to eat and leisure. Will absolutely stay again and can't wait to see what this place has more to offer

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The room was fantastic, the food was amazing and the staff were so wonderful they made our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for this hotel. They made you feel so welcome you were like family. The room we were in was quiet, very spacious and had a bed so lovely I slept through the night, every night for the five days we were there. That is very unusual for me. Plenty of choice on the menu whatever your taste.

Great price for a great place. Our room was spotless. The reception is at the restaurant, so be sure to get what you want before they close at 11pm.

I have lost count how many times i have stayed at the Novotel Ipswich over the past 2 years, but i had not been for 6 months. Nothing has changed, which is good as the hotel is very well located in Ipswich town centre for local pubs, restaurants and the nearby marina. The staff are very helpful and polite and the rooms are always of a high standard. My only gripe is the wi-fi is always hit and miss.
