I was lucky enough to stay at Home From Home for a few nights whilst away on business recently. I cannot recommend it highly enough! The entire house is immaculate, the rooms are spacious and the breakfasts are to die for! Lisa the host could not have been more welcoming, nothing seems to be too much trouble for her, and... More

I booked on Easter Friday for Easter Weekend, so was very lucky that some other customers had cancelled at this B&B. Lisa was very accomodating, taking us and our 2 1/2 yo son. The B&B is great, really well finished, Lisa is really trying her utmost to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The 2 rooms we had rented were... More

We had just a few days recently to spend in Suffolk in this really lovely extended townhouse, and the welcome and genuine friendliness we received will ensure our return. Also, those wonderful English breakfasts are worth the trip alone ! I know everyone says it, but we really do want to come and stay here again: there's lots to see... More

I recently started a contract in the area and this BnB was recommended to me by another BnB in the area. The welcome from Lisa and her partner John was warm and friendly. The room I was in was warm, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It had an ensuite but not a shower, but this didn't pose any problem as... More

Good sized, very clean room, though with shared bathroom. Excellent traditional English breakfast. Good value and would certainly stay there again. Leiston isn't as fashionable as Aldeburgh, but it's just up the road and much better value!

we have just got back for the second time staying at home from home, as usual Lisa was so lovely and accommodating, we could not fault anything, warm comforting room and bed and spotlessly clean, and the breakfast is amazing. Well done Lisa! will look forward to the next time.. Love Gloria and Trevor xxxx
