    Very minor points only: Could’ve done with somewhere in the shower to put soap/shampoo. Very little space to put our own food. Freezer compartment in fridge needs defrosting.

    Perfect location for our purposes. Good parking. Light and airy with thoughtful decoration. All the equipment you could possibly want. Good wifi and TV. Generous welcome pack. Decent towels and bedding.

    Daytime traffic noise No outdoor area to sit and have a coffee, when the weather is nice. Sofa could do with a deep clean.

    Next to Abbey Gardens which was a lovely walk through to the town. Nice apartment for a couple of days. Would go again.

    Possibly could have been a little cleaner/fresher, and it could benefit from a little refresh of the decor and furniture, I'm a landlady so I notice these things. All of that said it was totally acceptable and great value for money. We will be returning.

    Great apartment with plenty of character and large enough for a couple if nights stay. Good location, close to the Abbey Gardens. We only had breakfast in the apartment but it has a small kitchen equipped for cooking dinner. Good communication from the owner.

    We felt traffic noise at night was disturbing our sleep, (maybe secondary internal glazing in bedroom only could be beneficial if fitted). The boiler starting up at 3am woke us up. Maybe it could start up later ? These would not stop us booking again, only our suggestion could help in the future.

    We liked the location, the facilities, the parking, all the bedding and towels, well equipped kitchen, and general details of the apartment. A lot of thought was clearly put into this apartment for guests.

    The grill as even with extractor fan on the smoke alarm still went off and is deafening when cooking bacon for your morning roll. Good to know it works though!

    Ideal location close to sights, shops and restaurants all within walking distance if you enjoy walking.

    Sofa could be more comfy. We were there in summer and out of the premises most of the time. If it were winter a cosier sofa would be great. But then it would be perfect;

    Exactly as described, so lived up to expectations. Starter set of refreshments. It had been a long journey!

    Apartment we had was upstairs which made the bag carrying difficult, but don’t suppose there is much that could be done other than ask for the other apartment.

    Set on the road with ample parking so easily accessible. About 1/2 mile walk into town. The apartment is compact but has everything you’d need. Small but reasonably well equipped kitchen was ideal for us ( two adults) Similar story for the bathroom, small but functional, excellent shower. Living area has enough room to eat/relax. I’d imagine it would be a crush if there had been more than the 2 of us. Easy check in etc. Pub on the corner , and other amenities found in the nearby town. Bury is a good central base to explore Suffolk. Train station for trips to Ipswich, Cambridge, Newmarket, Ely is a 5 minute taxi ride away.

    TV in the living area, had to reprogram it to get all the Freeview channels. Also it didn't have all the channels but the bedroom one did. I didn't like that I couldn't access free streaming apps such as BBC iPlayer etc but expected to sign up to Amazon fire. Had to speak to maintenance a few times about TV and then Wi-fi and then no extra toilet paper. However the gentleman on the end of the phone was very helpful and everything was rectified pretty quickly. Awful place to find! Better directions on Booking.com as it is tucked away a bit on a busy road.

    Proximity to the centre of Bury St Edmunds. Could walk to the Cathedral and The Apex theatre. Pretty well equipped for our two nights stay. Liked having two TVs.
