The Retreat on Risbygate

The cleanliness, comfort, stock, supplies, shower overall experience was great!

Nothing

The communication from our host Alice was excellent from booking to throughout our visit. The house is a little gem in a brilliant location, lovely and cosy for a winter stay. Great for anyone wanting to self cater. Highly recommend!

The location was perfect for us. It was 8 minutes walk into the town centre along paths away from the main roads, and access by car was simple approcahing from the A14. We did easy day trips to Norwich and Cambridge using their park & ride buses as well as exploring Bury St Edmunds itself. The kicthen was well equipped and had sharp knives.

The cottage is very compact and the layout meant that there was not much worktop space in the kitchen for preparing food. That won't be an issue if you want to eat out / takeaway food but I like to cook from scratch.

House had everything you need for short or longer stay. Well equipped kitchen if you like to cook. Tea, coffee, sugar and cupboard basics there too. Bed comfy, great sleep, traffic outside but hardly heard it. Excellent location - 15 minute stroll to town centre or beautiful Abbey gardens (5 mins to best pub in town, Rising Sun, vast variety of craft ales). Host, Alice, quick to respond to enquiries. Look forward to future stay.

The lady who rented the property was clear with her instruction by email of how to get the key on the day of my arrival . and very friendly to speak to on the phone . has i have speech issues. The retreat house is in walking distance to the Arc shopping centre about 10 mins away. close to the railway station in bury you can walk there has well takes about 15mins or less and you can catch a bus near the property has well . There was a co -op shop in the same road about 4 mins on foot and close a garage for petrol and shop close by in the same road . there was parking near by has the lady explain i did not need this has i was travelling on foot . taxi where reliable i used either A1 taxis or getaway taxis while staying in the area.The house was spotless the heating worked well was warm while staying at this property

bury is hilly other that that it a nice place too visit.

It was clean comfortable and the location

sickly sweet smell which I think was probably the air freshener plug in but having the windows opened helped

Location is fantastic. Perfect for our needs. Beautiful town.

Location was excellent. Couldn't ask for better really. Close to town, and a supermarket only 2 minutes walk the other way.

Traffic noise. And bed was a little too soft for us. But that's just us. Consequently, we didn't sleep too well.

Very comfortable and everything you wanted
