Location was perfect in the centre of town and having a café below by the same owner. The owner couldn’t have done more to make it easy and comfortable for us. A real pleasure to stay there and with them.
United KingdomLoved the central location. Nice and spacious with a lovely feel and facilities were just what we wanted there was a washing machine too although we didn't need it. The pancakes at the owners cafe below were superb! Definitely worth a visit!!
United KingdomThe location in the town centre is good It was spotlessly clean and Steve & Vana we’re very welcoming.
United KingdomThe property is bright and clean with and very comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpul.
United KingdomIt was very clean and cleaning supplies were provided so we felt so safe staying there in this current climate. The big living room with super comfy sofas was nice for relaxing in the evenings. Having a kitchen with cooking facilities was ideal. The hosts were lovely, gave us a tonne of information about the area and even helped when I got a bit lost on the way there!
United KingdomIt was above the pancake shop which was yummy. It was central to our needs.The apartment was comfortable and clean and staff were friendly.Both the bed and sofa bed were comfortable.
United KingdomFabulous location in the centre of town and 2 mins walk to John Peel Centre. Very clean well equipped apartment and superb hosts and you must have at least breakfast at Petite Pancakes - excellent fare in a very clean well run establishment.
United KingdomThis accommodation is situated above a gorgeous pancake restaurant which we received a £5 voucher each for breakfast in the morning (delicious!) Jana our host gave us our keys on arrival and provided us some brilliant information prior to our arrival, including where to park locally (only £2.50 all day and overnight). She showed us around our apartment and was very helpful showing us where all of the facilities were, how the television worked and WiFi passwords etc. The apartment was well equipped with fluffy towels, a hair dryer, kitchen appliances and even little touches such as tea, coffee & sugar and milk in the fridge. It was spotlessly clean and felt like home! Would definitely recommend!
United KingdomWhat a great find this was! Right in the centre of town above a lovely little pancake cafe. Jana & Steve were perfect hosts. Great communication throughout the booking even though it was last minute. Steve took time to show us around the apartment and ran through some house rules and things to do in town. Breakfast is served downstairs in the cafe. You are given a £5.00 per person voucher to redeem and we can highly recommend the pancakes. It's a shame we didn't have longer in Stowmarket as we could have seen some more of the town and surrounding areas, but now we have found this apartment, we'll be back.

The apartment is perfectly located in the centre of Stowmarket, the second floor up has some VERY steep steps but the view is worth it. The layout is perfect, bedroom one end, a central kitchen and a spacious lounge. We are in the centre of town so parking is no available on the street but there are a couple of Paid car parks close by. We will meet you and carry your bags up and show you the parking.
Hi Guys Steve and Jana your hosts here, we are well travelled, especially for our wedding business over the last 25 years. For many years we visited Lake Como, Italy photographing weddings and know what couples and family like when exploring or working in a new area. On our tick list would be , your own space, kitchen to prep some food, fridge for beer and wine, walking distance to shops and train and busses to explore the area. Now semi retired we thought we would take it easy and open a Pancake cafe for the quite life. This could not be further from the truth, it has been so successful over these last two years we are manic most days. Steve still photographs and Jana runs the cafe below the apartment.
On the surface Stowmarket is not glamorous, it's a standard small town with your regular Costa, Greggs, Wetherspoons, Prezzo and Subway. What is fantastic is the Museum of East Anglia, the amazing John Peel art centre the Mix for the younger ones and the recently renovated Regal cinema. Stowmarket has a cafe revolution going on with some top class flat whites being poured and don't forget the amazing pancakes on the ground floor. You could not pick a better situated town to explore East Anglia, with a 5 min walk you are on the platform and with in an hour the train has taken you to either Cambridge, Norwich, Ipswich , Colchester, or Bury St Edmunds.
