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.

Staff seemed unaware that I was staying there. The placewas in complete darkness at 8-30 p.m., it was Sunday. Generally appeared that pub business was more important than hotel.

A good well located pub.

A lovely well situated pub. Good food and good service. My only criticism would be the breakfast. An all in one package for guests would be good rather than having to pay for each item, even the coffee.

Ipswich hotel.

Excellent pub inn near Ipswich and Woodbridge. Nice rooms with beautiful views of pastoral countryside. Quiet pub on ground floor with lots of beer choices and excellent, hearty food. Very friendly and kind staff. 5-8 minute drive to central Ipswich. Or take train 1 min walk to station.

The room was well equipped with a comfortable bed, the shower room had generous toiletries and towels. There was a basic complementary continental breakfast in the room augmented by a larger range of cereals,fruit and a fridge with yoghurts, fruit, juice milk, and soft drinks in the lobby just outside. Evening meals were of high standard if portions a little large. Extensive number tables, both inside and out. Adjacent to the railway crossing there was some intermittent noise at night from freight trains

Amazing little place

Loved the place had everything needed,lovely big room, big bed, wardrobe, drawers, kettle, tea ,coffee, water, biscuits, shower with lots of nice little touches, shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste & all the rest. Mini fridge on landing with bottle water, cans , milk. Lots breakfast cereal to choose from again on landing so you can take back into your bedroom for breakfast in bed. Just help yourself to anything. Easy Check in, lovely staff, Sarah the owner is lovely. Unfortunately we didn't get to eat there as ran out if days but the food looked lush & smelt lovely & wish had had another day. Would defo go back if we are in the area. Even the trains didn't keep us awake.
