This inn is basic and without pretense. It is clean and well maintained. There is a pub across the parking lot called The Mermaid which share employees with the inn. The people here are fanastic, always genuinely smiling and friendly.

Great place for an overnight stay, easy walking distance from the station and Portman Road. I’m a Crystal Palace fan and to get three points on our trip to Ipswich Town made it all worthwhile.
