St. Edmundsbury Bed and Breakfast

Apologies for the late review, lockdown has caused a lot of problems. Not our first stay at this lovely family run B&B - Lesley and Brian always make us welcome and nothing too much trouble - breakfast is amazing, freshly cooked and piping hot. Bedrooms are comfortable and gave everything we need - when we’ve forgotten something Lesley always comes to the rescue! We were booked to stay again in July (hence me remembering to write my review) - spoke to Lesley and she’s happily refunded our booking. Excellent. Hope to see you in August!

Absolutely disgusting service from this B&B. Booked a business booking with them through Laterooms for a member of our staff to stay with them for a show tonight, arrived at the hotel after a full day's work and travelling to be told the B&B is double booked and they didn't know because they didn't have Internet. This is absolutely disgusting and APALLING excuse from any B&B / Hotel and we firmly suggest you boycott an establishment that turns guests away because they are inefficient and unorganised. Will be filling a complaint with Laterooms immediately.

We chose this B&B as it is only 15 minutes from our daughters. First impressions were positive and although normally registration is not before 4.30pm as our room was ready we booked in earlier in the morning. The room allocated to us was a little dated and the en-suite small but adequate with a shower. There was a flat screen tv. The bed was comfortable and bedding clean. The tea making facilities were welcome but the fairtrade tea bags were not to our taste and the kettle was on the floor next to the single bed which was also in our room in addition to the double required by us. Although the web site for the B&B states all rooms to be en-suite we noticed that the two rooms next to our room had a shared bathroom and appeared to be singles with a wash basin. The rooms need updating as they look a bit tired. Plenty of choice for breakfast with cereals etc. and of course cooked breakfast. Unfortunately, the bacon was quite salty and the tomato was a single tinned plum tomato rather than a fresh tomato. Plenty of off road parking and the house is located in a quiet area of Old Costessey. There is a guest lounge which gives access to the gardens which are very well tended. The property is currently for sale and I guess Brian and Lesley wish to retire having run the B&B for a very long time. Although I would still recommend St Edmundsbury B&B any new owners if they continue as a B&B would no doubt need to up-date the decor and room furnishings.
