    My recommendation is to stay at the White Horse Inn, in Leiston, which didn't come up when I searched, maybe because they have a charge for dogs. I walked there from where I'd booked (1mile from Butcher's Arms, Knodishall). Next time I visit Sizewell beach, I will stay at the White Horse. Didn't get a chance to look around Leiston itself this time.

    We knew Leiston of old.

    We knew Leiston of old. This is not an upmarket tourist town, but its location for Minsmere (and ineed much of Suffolk - Blythburgh, Southwold, Saxmundham, Framlingham, Aldeburgh, Snape etc. - is excellent. And all the people we met were great.

    Leiston is well located for visiting other places nearby...

    Leiston is well located for visiting other places nearby such as Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Southwold and Sizewell but is not a particularly attractve in its own right. Plenty of local fast food places to eat but you have to move a little ot of the town for bit more variety. Great location for visiting the Suffolk coast and far more down to earth, friendly, less snobby and definitely cheaper than its near neighbours.

    Formerly an industrial town, though in the midst of an agricultural area and only a few miles from the coast, Aldburgh, Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Minsmere RSPB reserve. Town centre has a very interesting industrial museum, but is otherwise uninspiring and surrounded by modern housing developments. A good choice if you want to avoid the crowds on the coast.

    Leiston has a good range of shops but seemingly no decent pubs or restaurants.However, it is within driving distance of these.It is conveniently situated for Aldeburgh (where accommodation is expensive) so worth considering for a stay.

    I had a very comfortable four night stay in the Garden Room. It was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and provided a very good breakfast each morning. The ability to take food back to the room to eat in the evening was much appreciated, as was the access to a fridge to store items in. Overall it was a lovely stay and I highly recommend this. The room is a 10 minute walk to facilities in Leiston.

    Website says breakfast not included but actually there was a generous offering of cereals, milk, tea. Kitchen well equipped if you wanted to prepare your own food. Parking easy. Leiston itself is pleasant tho' not exciting - apart from charming Abbey ruins. But it is a perfect centre for visiting Sutton Hoo, Orford, beaches, Aldeburgh etc.

    Nice, compact house, kept very clean and with fresh milk awaiting us in the fridge. Close to the centre of Leiston so it was easy to walk into town.
