The Retreat on Risbygate

Serene tiny house. Good location. Well kitted out. Sunny(we were lucky!) back courtyard. Handy local co-op shop.

Could be noisy at night with passing delivery lorries. Suggest 2nd bedside table and lamp.

Great comms with host.The location was 15 min walk to the centre of town but there were plenty of short term, carparks if needed. Quiet neighbours. It's on a busy road but excellent windows! Great location for shops and train/bus stations

Charming little cottage close to the town centre.

Smashing little house, clean, comfortable and convenient for the centre. All the communication with Alice was quick and informative.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Very good location that was a close walk (5-10min even with a young child) to town but far enough away to be pretty quiet. It was also a short drive to Suffolk Barn where our friend was getting married. Alice’s home was very nice with great amenities and cute outdoor space that was quiet and private. The home was visibly clean and smelled nice. It worked for our short stay and we were quite pleased ☺️

It’s suitable for 3 people but not ideal if you have a young child because they either have to sleep downstairs on the pullout sofa by themselves or one parent has to sleep on the pullout. The upstairs bedroom steps are quite steep which might not work for people with disabilities, a young child or elderly persons. While the home was clean, there was quite a bit of dust coming off the carpet and bedding, and my little one and I had allergies

I really liked the private backyard and the dedicated parking. The bed was very comfortable and the house was clean and airy. It is a ten minute walk to the Abbey and gardens and has a convenience store 2 minutes walk up the road. I drove down to Sutton Hoo and it was really easy to get in and out of town. I really enjoyed my stay and I wish I’d booked a longer stay.

Very comfortable house, well laid out

Traffic lights by the bedroom window

Compact and convenient for town - a 10 minute walk to the centre. No hills. Parking nearby made very easy. Hot water and heating excellent and efficient. Large TV worked well. Internet connection good. Microwave, kettle and toaster very good. Separate dining extension very light and cheerful. Strongly recommended!

The bath is quite deep, so a grab handle on the wall at the rear would have been a useful safety aid for getting out after a shower. We brought our own non-slip mat. The saucepans provided were good but a bit wobbly on the gas ring, We couldn't work out how to separate landfill/recycle/compostable waste. The yard at the back was a bit bleak, but we didn't spend any time there. Some good chairs and tables were provided though.

The location was very good. Easy access within walking distance from town centre.

Housekeeping very poor, overall smell inside property, Oven smelt greasy and there was food debris inside. Toilet left with urine in the pan and something a little more sinister on underside of seat. Floors throughout property looked as if they had not been cleaned as debris on floors throughout. Bush in front garden over growing the path making access difficult. Did not like the parking facility, car was out of sight of property.
