United Arab Emirates“The host Andrew take every effort to make us feel that we are at home. Stayed at hostels before, Hikers & Bikers defintiely take the top of the list for now.”- Martin United Kingdom“Loved the fact I've been made so welcome. Actually stayed for far longer than intended but it did not seem to be a problem at all. Out of town but not too far and just a nice place to recharge batteries.”

Hi I’m Andrew, I like to welcome & enjoy meeting new people. I open my home to travellers as a refuge during cycle & walking expeditions, I hope you feel right at home. I live in a separate self contained flat at the property with my partner Araya, you may see us about the property and garden. I try to be there to welcome you, but if for some reason I can't I will send you instructions to help with checking in & finding your bed.
We are in between Ipswich & Woodbridge in the parish to Rushmere St. Andrew. We are just 2 miles from the A14 and the bus stop is opposite us with access to the main towns & train station on Route 66. Close by we have a couple of take away shops, golf course, hospital and a little further away the beautiful River Deben and market town of Woodbridge. We are in a great location to explore Suffolk's coast & countryside.
