John and Sue
John and Sue look forward to welcoming you to your private bedroom on the first floor of our home, set in beautiful countryside on the edge of the village of Rattlesden, with comfortable sofa, table and chairs, TV, Wifi and tea and coffee making facilities. Please note, this is not a hotel or a commercial B&B business. We offer only one room, a pleasant double bedroom with a comfortable queen sized bed with memory foam topper mattress, wardrobe, and chest of drawers. The modern en-suite has a shower, loo, bath and hand basin. We supply a hairdryer, and an iron if you need it. In the morning you can choose what time you would like to eat in the downstairs breakfast room. Our price includes breakfast with juice, tea or coffee, cereal, muesli, yoghurt and fruit, toast and a freshly cooked full English if you’d like it. Off street parking is on our driveway. This is a non-smoking, pet-free house. We regret that we cannot accept guests who wish to arrive after 10pm.
We have been hosting guests in our village for about five years, starting when we lived in Lime Tree House. Guest comments included: John and Sue were great hosts and served us an amazing breakfast to order, with a full English plus cereal, yoghurt and homemade fruit salad. Highly recommend a stay here : We were met in a very welcoming and friendly manner. Tea and coffee etc in room. Bed was exceptionally comfy. Slept so well. Beautiful village. Breakfast was amazing!!!! Couldnt fault it! : They were a lovely couple with great local knowledge. Maps and places of interest were also readily available. The breakfast was enough to feed an army. The hostess trolley to keep the food warm was a nice touch too! : By far one of the most comfortable places Ive stayed at! We hope you enjoy your stay in this lovely part of Suffolk. We recognise that some guests prefer privacy, and others like to chat. Please do ask us for any local information which will help you find your way around, and recommendations for local restaurants and attractions.
We live in Rattlesden, a peaceful Suffolk village with two pubs, one of which offers food, a lovely church and convenient shop with a post office. The neighbouring village of Woolpit has a bakery, tea shop, fish and chip shop and a Co-Op. You can also find good food at The Bull in Woolpit, The Shepherd and Dog in Onehouse and an Indian restaurant in Haughley. There are footpaths to explore the surrounding countryside and a 15 minute drive takes you to Bury St Edmunds with its shops, cafes, the Theatre Royal, cinema and Abbey Gardens. Historic Lavenham is also very close, with renowned restaurants and the National Trust Guildhall property in the centre. Rattlesden is 10 minutes from the A14, with good routes to Stanstead airport, Felixstowe ferries, and London. Cambridge, Norwich and Colchester are within easy drive. Trains run from nearby Stowmarket to London Liverpool Street.
