Excellent well appointed room, unfortunately the premises don't do evening meals on Monday evenings but I was aware of this and ate before i arrived at the hotel. Also they sell a PROPPER PINT OF BITTER!!

Lovely little cottage. Very comfortable bed. Very clean. Loved the bathroom. Would definitely go back again. Highly recommended
Located in Leiston, 13 miles from Framlingham Castle, The Butchers Arms Freehouse has accommodations with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar.
Midway between Southwold and Aldeburgh, this modernized, rustic inn has an excellent restaurant and refurbished, stylish rooms. It is an ideal base for exploring the Suffolk Heritage Coast.
In an 18th-century, Grade II heritage-listed building, the Satis House Hotel has 3 acres of grounds and is just off the A12. Free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking are available.

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.
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.
Excellent well appointed room, unfortunately the premises don't do evening meals on Monday evenings but I was aware of this and ate before i arrived at the hotel. Also they sell a PROPPER PINT OF BITTER!!
the whole place was charming - quaint, lovely flowers in the garden. Good location. Leiston Abbey is wonderful as is Aldeburgh a favourite, Minnsmere is close - Orford is great too
