Dog friendly accommodation in a pleasant pub.
Pros:

Pleasant pub on the outskirts of Ipswich. Small, but comfortable room in an adjacent building. Pub offered a good food menu,, reasonably priced. A good English breakfast included in booking fee. No additional fee for taking a dog.

It was ideal for an overnight stay. The beds were comfortable, the beer was good and we ate well.
Pros:

Breakfast was substantial and the location suited my purposes to a tee. It was a busy night but the staff were competent and pleasant.
