Guest Reviews

• Anthony (4/5): Poor customer service, but great bed and breakfas. - I presented myself to the bar at check-in and was ignored by two members of staff! I was eventually shown to the room by a third staff member. The room was a mismatch of different furniture and styles which was strange. Bathroom served it purpose and was clean but very poor water pressure in shower and hand basin. Bed was extremely comfortable and the buffet continental breakfast,water, tea and coffee was excellent and done really well! Big problems was noise. I selected the room with a garden view which overlooked the garden and then onto fields, however it was a hot day and I was kept awake by noisy people in the pub garden and then woken early by the noise of the pub kitchen extractor fans turning on when the pub opened for breakfast. Overall the noise was not a major problem and I could live with that . I was upset and annoyed by the check-in experience with staff ignoring me and for that reason I felt very uncomfortable and will not return
• richard (10/5): - Looks like it has recently been redecorated, simple and pleasant style. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast items available to help yourself if leaving before official breakfast time. I’ll be staying again
• michael (10/5): - I thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to The Railway at Westerfield. Great location with easy access to trains and a large car park on site. The staff are great also, plus wonderful food. Much to like about the Railway Inn.
• Cheryl (10/5): - Great location for rail access. Overall a comfotrtable place
• Simon (10/5): Beautiful pub with rooms - My stay at the Railway was excellent, the pub is located in an ideal location for exploring Suffolf countryside. The food served is not just typical pub food, it is of high quality.
• Carole (10/5): - We were made to feel very welcome. The room was well equipped but had character. Continental breakfast was available or a cooked breakfast could be ordered. We ate our evening meal in the pub. We were well looked after. The menu was more than traditional pub fare with plenty of specials. The portions were generous, attractively served and delicious. We would definitely stay again.
• Marilyn (10/5): - Great place to stay. Food excellent. Comfy bed clean and spacious room.Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again.
• Scott (10/5): - The food was amazing cannot fault it . The staff where very nice and polite and helpful , breakfast was great in the morning would highly recommend this pub
• Kenneth (10/5): Great hidden little gem - Stayed here maybe 15 times or more now. Always very pleasant.
• Gregory (10/5): Comfortable & friendly accommodation - Comfortable and clean room with friendly staff. We would stay here again on our return to Ipswich.
• Tanya (10/5): - We had a great overnight stay at The railway Inn. All staff were very accommodating & Friendly.. Definitely will stay there again on our next visit to Ipswich.. it’s only a 8 minute taxis journey to the Theatre….
• Sean (10/5): Great welcome good food and a really comfy bed - Friendly welcome. Great staff. Good food and a really comfortable bed Lots of thoughtful touches including complimentary breakfast buffet
• Alison (6/5): - The front room we had at the B&B was very noisy all night. There's a level crossing with trains only 50 metres away. What sounded like a drayman arrived at 10pm. Road noise was a disturbance and then at 2am we were awakened by what sounded like ballast trucks unloading. We didn't get up to investigate quite was going on, but I wondered if night trackwork had commenced. We ate in the restaurant and my Haddock, chunky chips and peas hit the spot. My wife's choice of burger didn't, the bun looked undersized, containing a small Pattie with a little pulled meat on top with a thin slice of cheese. The chips were skinny with no pulp to them, in fact close to unedible. The accompanying coleslaw and salad was the best part. So all in all not a great experience at the Railway, Westerfield.
• Matthew (8/5): - Good stay and friendly service. Nice selection of food and drink in the communal area.
• Rosie (10/5): - Perfectly positioned for my needs. Very reasonably priced. Shame there was no bath, but staff couldn’t be more helpful.
• Lee (8/5): - Was good stay. Only slight negative was cleaner hoovering the pub at 630am but I suppose you have to take that staying above a pub

Adjacent to the railway crossing there was some intermittent noise at night from freight trains
