We stayed here overnight when visting a local restaurant - 745pm. What a delightful B and B. We had the smallest room (Cream) with a good bathroom and even our own Nespresso coffee maker - a first! Free wifi was another nice touch. The room however was larger than we have experienced in a well known Suffolk boutique hotel. Furnishings... More

We have stayed in the Blue room as a twin several times now and it never ceases to please. Stephanie and Richard are charming hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. The beds are so comfortable you don't want to get up but you have a delicious breakfast waiting for you. The gardens are beautiful to have a... More

One of the best B&Bs we've ever stayed in, more luxurious than many 4 and 5 star hotels. How many hotels have a cappuccino maker in the rooms?! Great full English breakfast as well. We stayed in the smallest room which was £75 for 2 people inc breakfast. There are other larger rooms that are a little more expensive but... More

We decided to take a weekend break and despite the cold weather outside we were met with a very warm welcome. We stayed in the detached Hayloft apartment and it was perfect. The bed was one of the comfiest I have slept in and every detail was thought of. The bathroom was spacious and spotless as was the bedroom/lounge area.... More

I stayed at Bays Farm, in The Hayloft, for six nights on two working trips to Suffolk. I travel a great deal for work and am frequently disappointed by miserable hotels, etc, but not here. It was a pleasant surprise! This suite is extremely well-designed; a modern environment in a new-build, traditional oak-framed 'barn'. The bathroom is superb and the... More
