Had a lovely stay at Mariella’s guest house- she is very welcoming and made me feel at home. Bed was super comfortable and I really liked my room. It was very much my own secluded space which I really appreciate when touring. Whilst there’s no kitchen, the communal dining area is nice and Mariella’s equipped it with helpful items such as: a small fridge, microwave, plates, cutlery and breakfast amenities etc. It’s only 10 mins walk to the theatre too. I’d happily stay again if in the area.

Lovely stay. Would stay again.

Mariella was very accommodating to changes I had to make at short notice. Very communicative and friendly. Lovely room, very comfortable. Would stay again.

Stay here every year when I’m working in Bury. Mariella is always really friendly and a wonderful host. A lovely place to stay.

Thank you Drew… I look forward to welcoming you here in 2025. I wish you a great first Christmas, it will be so special with your beautiful little girl. All the best, Mariella
A really lovely place to stay - the room was brilliant, and Mariella and Paul were such welcoming hosts. I think the listing may just need to be updated slightly to make it clear that a full breakfast isn’t really included. I was kindly given a banana in the morning though, so that was a nice little bonus!

Thank you Vincenzo for your lovely review and helpful comments.
PS I confirm I have now updated my listing description …
All best wishes
Mariella

Thank you Elliot for your kind review.
It was a pleasure to meet you
All best wishes, Mariella
Although I never met Mariella as she was away, her communication was excellent. However the room was quite grubby and very dusty when I arrived so I had to give it a clean myself. I then discovered that the kettle in my room looked like it had been used by someone to cook food inside it, there seemed to be left over food at the bottom of it. And lastly the WiFi is not very reliable, often cutting out for an hour or so. Not convenient if you are trying to work/relax. Such a shame.

I’m really sorry you were disappointed with your stay and found the place not to your satisfaction.
Unfortunately, as I left a week before your arrival to go to the USA to assist our daughter having her first baby, I had left the preparation in the hands of my cleaner who is normally pretty good, but obviously didn’t do what she should’ve done!
I can only apologise for that!
Lesson learned: not accept guests if I’m not here to check the room. Very sorry. It certainly won’t happen again.
Very good location and very comfortable.

Thank you Cam, it was a pleasure to meet you. All the best.
Mariella is a lovely host, so welcoming. The room is beautiful, very light and airy, and spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend these digs when staying in Bury St Edmunds.

Thank you Gemma for your lovely review.
I wish you the very best and I hope to see you again if you plan a visit to BuryStEdmunds. 😀
Mariella was very welcoming and room was super clean and felt bigger than photos. A very comfortable stay and would go back next time I’m in Bury St Edmunds.

Thank you Adam
It was a pleasure to meet you and I thank you for being a lovely guest, tidy, respectful and friendly. I hope to welcome you back here in the future. All best wishes, MarielIa
Mariella was lovely and it was a really nice place to stay. Nice and close to the theatre and with an en-suite bathroom. No parking available outside, but Bury St. Edmunds has lots of parking nearby and it's all really cheap.

Thank you Drew for your review.😊
I hope you will have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. Mariella :)

Thank you Tom, I’m so pleased to have met you and that the play went well.
Mariella’s home away from home was a delight. Brilliantly located and comfortable, I wish all stays while touring could be this good, Mariella was lovely and the room was well appointed and restful. Ideal given the intensity of the show I was doing.
16th Mar 2022
Thank you very much Mackenzie for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you and I wish you all the best for your future. Take care, I hope to welcome you back here in the future
