• Nigel (9/5): Lovely friendly family run establishment - A lovely family run guesthouse, all rooms are named after the owners grandchildren, very clean and comfortable rooms, nothing seemed too much trouble. Complimentary continental breakfast was a great bonus and enough choice to get us started for the day. There's a lovely little seating area outside. There's a fridge in the dining room for guests to use and a microwave for use if you purchase microwave meals, or you can phone out to the local takeaways and eat in the dining room, folder of menus is available. We used this as a base whilst visiting family, would definitely come back There was no decaf coffee in the room but we asked if any was available and was handed a jar to use for the duration of our stay.

• Malcolm (10/5): A very enjoyable stay - A very enjoyable stay at the Harp Freehouse and Guest House. It is always such a pleasure to be welcomed personally on arrival. I had a wonderful stay in perfect accommodation, the whole experience amplified by the friendly nature of the hosts, guests and regulars in the bar. I will certainly return and recommend to all
• Kevin (8/5): Not a bad little place to stay - The room was clean and comfortable if somewhat basic. The staff were very friendly and you're given a key to the side door so you don't need to walk through the public bar to get to your room. Breakfast is provided although I never went into the dining room as I don't do breakfast so can't comment on it. I stayed for 2 weeks and was pretty happy with it. I found the bed super comfy. The water pressure in the shower isn't great and the wifi is terrible. Being a pub you can hear noise from the bar but I wear earplugs to bed anyway so I wasn't too bothered. Something to bear in mind though.
• Stephen (8/5): Comfortable stay with very helpful staff - All good, able to easily come and go as needed Nothing
• Aisa (10/5): Amazing experience - The staff were very friendly and nice to us I can say the best experience I ever had in England was with this hotel. Check in and check out was so easy The room was super clean . It had everything needed The location was great There’s absolutely nothing I didn’t like
• Mariana (7/5): The hotel is very good and have warm vipe that you can stay for a long time. - The caring of my comfort and the bar was available to host my friends. The breakfast was poor compared to my Egyptian experience.
• Jack (8/5): Very good -
• Neil (10/5): Superbly enjoyable - Superbly clean room.Excellent value for money,not easy to find when working away from home.Hosts were fantastic running both the rooms and an excellent traditional pub .Rarely do a put out a post but they deserve a lot of praise and credit.Working nearby?would I stay again ? Definitely..
• Keith (10/5): Lovely pub frequented by locals, decent accommodation for the price, friendly landlord and landlady. - This was my second stay here, and I love it. Tony and Teresa run a lovely pub, and the accommodation isn't luxurious but it still meets every need. One thing though - you would need to be familiar with Ipswich to stay here as you either need to walk (20 minutes) or drive (5-10 minutes) to the town centre. I have tried to add photos to my review but this site took forever to upload them and in the end I gave up. Sorry! Nothing.
• Ian (10/5): A real home from home great atmosphere local pub - Such a lovely friendly pub landlord and landlady and staff were so nice and welcoming and lovely locals… very fairly priced and nothing to much trouble Nothing could have been better
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Steven (9/5): Superb -
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff. Maybe a cooked breakfast option.
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional - The staff and atmosphere were absolutely amazing, could not ask for any more, perfect place to stay.
• Lynne (10/5): Being in a very stressful job I needed to relax and unwind which is exactly what I was able to do - Owners and staff extremely helpfull and friendly. Breakfast was lovely. Nothing
• Barton (7/5): Good value for money - Good location for me as I was visiting someone in the hospital and also very close to Derby Road station. Very clean Nice continental breakfast supplied. Very friendly hosts. Description said housekeeping was included but my room was not touched whilst I was there. So the bin ended up overflowing and my cup got very stained as I couldn't wash it up. Hairdryer would not work on a decent heat setting, it kept cutting out so had to use cool setting which was a nuisance for me with thick hair. Bed was extremely noisy, I had to wedge a spare pillow between headboard and wall but was still very noisy. I know i should have mentioned these to the hosts but I didn't.
• Maria (10/5): Excellent. Wonderful friendly and kind people!! -
• Michael (9/5): Adequate for my needs working away clean comfortable room and continental breakfast set up. - Homely and friendly Nothing everything was fine.
• Karyn (9/5): Fantastic - Everybody is lovely and make you feel at home. It was my 2nd time and it will not be my last Nothing
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Very peaceful lovely people very welcoming Nothing

• Scot (7/5): Very enjoyable. - Loved the Harp, would definitely stay there again. Good location.
• Chris (9/5): Superb -
• Joel (9/5): Nice Irish Pub to have a Pint and Spend the Night! - Nice to hang out with the local folks, good beers and quiet room. Cute room and more than adequate for one person, two would not have been an issue if travelling light on the luggage. Car Park was small but was always able to find a spot. No food directly on site but several choice for delivery or near by. Breakfast was a bit late for my schedule but did not ruin my stay.
• Glenn (10/5): Our Great weekend. - Friendly, Very clean, excellent service and value for the price. Thank you for a great weekend.
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roger (8/5): All in all, a pleasant experience. - Good value for money. Friendly staff and owners. Car parking always a bonus. Occasional noise from an extractor fan, probably in kitchen. It didn't last too long, so no big deal. No wholemeal bread at breakfast but had some of my own with me, so crisis averted. TV was a bit small for my eyes but then I am an old crock.
• Bohdana (10/5): You don’t need to worry about anything, just come and enjoy!) - A wonderful place with parking available. The hotel owner is very kind and attentive. It’s cozy, and everything you need is provided. There was nothing I didn’t like.
• Stuart (8/5): Very good -
• Pauline (8/5): Hot August Night at The Harp - This is the 5th time we have stayed here as it is convenient to visit family (2nd time since it became the Harp) It is clean and a quiet location near local transport and shops Room was smaller this time. It was Lenny's room Don't like the fact you have to book 2 nights when you only want 1
• Kevin (10/5): Gladly stop there again. - Continental breakfast - most agreeable. N/A.
• Lesley (6/5): Friendly staff, small car park - Friendly staff and convenient location for us. Also bed was comfy Pub car park too small for the number of rooms. Not as clean as the reviews suggested. Shower poor. Got back Sunday evening looking forward to a pint to find the pub shut
• Birgit (8/5): Very good - very nice hosts, got the key before the official check in time, parking space at the house, pub, looking forward to come back we unfortunately missed the live music as there was no sign and nobody told us about it :-(
• Stephania (8/5): Very good - Lovely landlady that made us feel at home! Thank you!
• Hester (10/5): Very friendly staff - Basic room, very friendly staff. Above a pub ( but hardly any noise in room). Breakfast facilities are simple but good.
• Evans (7/5): Good - Tv was to small to far away from bed
• Kathleen (9/5): Most enjoyable - Loved neabourhood location. Very friendly staff Shower not very forceful

• Malcolm (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly staff and local customers Rooms are very good and continental breakfast is a bonus
• Aston (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ahern (10/5): Exceptional - The staff and the owners were absolutely customer service friendly and excellent ,loved Murphy the dog , There was nothing I didn't like
• Neil (9/5): Short stay in Suffolk - Comfortable, quit room
• Joanna (10/5): Exceptional - The owners were so friendly and welcoming and the room was SPOTLESS. I stay in a lot of ‘fancy’ hotels for my work and The Harp is right up there with all of them. Excellent value for money. And brilliantly located for people visiting Ipswich Hospital.
• Darren (7/5): Good -
• Stephen (8/5): Very good - Room very clean. En-suite excellent. Car parking good. Nothing
• Richard (9/5): Lovely friendly family-run pub & guesthouse - Breakfast is self-service, just help yourself to whatever you need
• Samuel (8/5): My stay was comfortable and convenient, easily worth the cost. - The location is a perfect fit for me, the facilities are well cared for and the premises are clean. The staff are helpful and friendly. I have stayed here on a few occasions and found it comfortable and convenient, and the parking is largely reliable even if the car park is a little small. I have stayed here a few times and found the wifi connection in some rooms a little unreliable. The water pressure in the shower can be a little bit low and on one occasion, I unfortunately ran out of the provided toilet paper as the rolls were low upon arrival.
• Callum (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brian (9/5): Superb -
• Ben (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
