“Cathy was a wonderful host, very kind, welcoming, and helpful. The house was very clean, tidy, comfortable and quirky and had everything we needed for a holiday stay. The location is fab, it being only a 10-15 minute walk to the main sites.”

“The Giraffe House is so lovely! It has a nice garden space out back, a comfortable bed and a dining table that doubled as a working space for my boyfriend and I. The WiFi was fast and reliable for remote work.”

“Excellent place to stay in Ipswich. It has been thoughtfully designed and is beautifully kept. A walk into town takes about ten minutes, down to the docks about 15. Biggest plus ever must be the parking for two cars in an area with an otherwise very limited supply.”

“We have had a delightful stay at the Giraffe House. The location is perfect as it is just a quick walk to town or the beautiful Ipswich waterfront. Also, there is parking for two cars which is a huge advantage and my husband was able to keep his beloved bikes in the courtyard. The bed was super comfortable and we enjoyed the brilliant shower.”

“The Giraffe House is lovely – comfortable and clean, a real home away from home for us at the end of each day. You have thought of everything we need and we are really enjoying our stay. And we really appreciate you taking the time to share your local knowledge with us.”

A really high quality accommodation in a handy location near the centre of Ipswich. The Giraffe House is clean, smart, well equipped, cosy, comfortable and an excellent value home from home. We enjoyed being able to walk into town and the Marina in 10-15 mins and a park with play area just 5 minutes away. The house itself is light and bright and felt very private and peaceful. We extended our stay and would definitely stay again.
