Marys Place

Marys Place is a small pet-friendly bed and breakfast at 5 Court Street in Ipswich. Dogs are welcome, but only in its two designated pet rooms, so it is worth booking ahead to secure one.

The pet policy. Two rooms are set aside as pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome in those rooms, with one firm rule: dogs are not allowed on the beds. Specific size limits and any pet fee are not published, so contact the B&B directly to confirm before you commit. Given it is a small, hosted property, this is a place to be upfront about your dog's size and temperament when you call.

The place. A compact, homely B&B. The reviews are warm, pointing to a comfortable bed, kind hosts and a cosy feel, but it is a small operation rather than a motel, so availability of the pet rooms is limited.

Who it suits. Owners of a well-mannered, house-trained dog who can settle on its own mat or bed rather than the furniture.

Before you book. Call ahead to confirm a pet room is free for your dates, to check any size limit or fee, and to clarify house rules. Bring your dog's own bedding to keep it off the beds.
