The host prepared breakfast included with the room which was quite good. The nicest people you could ever meet including Milly their dog.

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. 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 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.

The hosts Alistair and Ruth were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us.
Thank you both.
The garden room is lovely with two armchairs and a very comfortable bed.The television is on a swivel so can be watched from the chairs or the bed.A nice touch, I thought.
The garden is lovely, and it was nice to sit out with a glass of wine.
Breakfast was excellent, and Alistair is very willing to accommodate any dietry wishes.
Leiston itself is a great spot for visiting Aldeburgh and Thorpeness.
We will definitely be back.
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.
Very convenient for visiting friends in nearby Leiston. Quiet location away from the pub itself. A novel approach to Bed and Breakfast by providing Hobbit Pods.
