I stay in this guest house at least once a month with work and would never go anywhere else! Sally and Richard are the perfect hosts and make sure you are well looked after during your stay! Their English breakfast is a must!!! Locally/freshly sourced, or brought in from real suppliers the breakfast is a real highlight and memory! The... More

Due to a cancelation we were moved to the lodge before we had time to unpack. Very warm welcome and show around the guest house. Very comfortable room and a great breakfast. Exceptional customer service as nothing seemed too much trouble e.g lighter tog quilt, iron, ironing board. We would recommend the gust house to anyone without hesitation

Sidegate Guest House (Room 1) is a fantastic place to stay. I was in Ipswich for work and wanted somewhere to stay which was comfortable, welcoming and good for working in. This was perfect. In terms of working the room is well-lit and has well-located sockets and free WiFi. And the room itself is cosy and beautifully decorated with the... More

Sally and Richard obviously work really hard to maintain a high standard here. Room 1 was well decorated and perfectly clean. The shower room was tiny but again perfectly clean. Considering they own a labrador, you'd never know it as the hotel does not have that tell tale doggy smell. The breakfast was to die for - possibly the best... More

Travelling extensively with my companion dog I sometimes find it difficult to find a dog friendly establishment that meets the standards of comfort and cleanliness that I require for us both. Sidegate Guest House exceeds my criteria offering top class accommodation and breakfast. Richard and Sally are totally guest focused and Eki, the house labrador is an excellent host fully... More

My first stay at Sidegate was just before Xmas 2012, when I was working up in Ipswich. I had had a horrendous journey (4 hours stuck on the M25 - 2 hours to go one junction). Once in Ipswich, I was working all afternoon. Exhausted, I arrived at the B&B. Richard and Sally made me feel very welcome, even making... More

I stayed at Sidegate for two nights and would definitely recommend it. Lovely, big, bright rooms with lots of little touches. The breakfast was excellent - organic and locally sourced ingredients. The best bit about our stay was being made to feel so at home by the hosts, Richard and Sally. They even looked after us when we were poorly... More
