Hosts with the most .

Pros: Husband and wife team are excellent hosts , we had a lovely meal , swapped stories and had a few laughs. The perfect people for the job. Room was warm, comfortable, clean, with a great shower , a coffee maker , bottled water. By day the view is of the docks across the estuary, by night the same view is a mass of twinkling white lights , couldn’t stop looking it was so pretty . Great stop off on our walk of the Stour way. Definitely recommend.

Perfect for visiting friends in Shotley.

Pros: Lovely location overlooking Felixstowe and Harwich. My girlfriend and I took the train to Harwich Town and then it was a short walk to get the ferry to Shotley. Excellent way to get there. Breakfast is not included, but they open for breakfast in the clubhouse at the same time as check-out. We used the accommodation as an affordable option for the Ed Sheeran concert at Portman Rd, Ipswich. Worked out very well.

Cons: No air-con available, but large French window.

Stokes 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: The location is lovely, the room was clean and had everything you would need and our hosts were very friendly.

Cons: The little green light denoting fire exit was bright enough to light the room at night. But eye patches would have alleviated this.
