Conveniently, The Parlour is less than a ten-minute drive or an hour's walk from The Suffolk Food Hall, which showcases a variety of local produce, including a butcher, fresh fruits and vegetables, handmade chocolates, and a bakery. Guests can pre-order bespoke welcome packs from the Food Hall to enhance their stay. Additional amenities include underfloor heating on the ground floor, radiators upstairs, and the availability of a travel cot and highchair upon request. Guests are welcome to bring one well-behaved dog per property, and there are two electric vehicle chargers on-site for a small fee, making The Parlour a well-equipped and inviting destination for all types of visitors.
