Trying to find a simple B&B for an overnight stay for work and I cant find one; they've all gone Air BnB which means loadsa money for a bit of farrow and ball
and cinammon room fragrances.
Can anyone suggest a way to find a BnB somewhere to sleep for a night without it costing me over a ton ?

Where will you be staying?
I remember travelling to Scarborough in the early '90s - there were roads and roads where every house was a B&B, and all around £13-15 a night. Per person? Per room? I can't remember. But they were cheap. A whole world of candlewick bedspreads.
Edit - yeah, Google maps. search hotels, sort by price!
Suffolk between Ipswich & Lowestoft
Why does it have to be a B&B? Surely there are reasonably-priced hotels (e.g. Premier Inn)?
No Premier Inns, Travelodges or similar in that area
Ring around the local pubs. They sometimes have a room or two upstairs and usually cheap. I often used to do this when I was contracting away from home.
What? There are dozens of hotels in that area. Travelodges in both Ipswich and Lowestoft, Premier Inns in Ipswich and countless hotels in all the coastal towns.Originally Posted by eddie1
Anywhere decent in Lowestoft for a solitary midday work lunch? Going there in the next two weeks for a meeting and am tempted to drive home via Aldeburgh for the fish and chips.
Good Beer Guide.
My go-to for casual accommodation.
Send a stamped addressed envelope to the local tourist centre, wait 4 weeks and you'll be sent back a badly copied 'accommodation' rag which looks like its been printed with a potato and is barely readable - with all information 5 years out of date. Choose the least intimadating battle axe on the BnB options, after shouting at the deaf old dear down the phone to vaguely confirm that there might be the box room available. If you strike lucky they might let you use hot water in the morning and don't even bother asking for an extra slice of toast at breakfast..
oh how i miss...nah use booking.com
Stayed in Ipswich a few times in the last year or so for training courses, each time I’ve regretted saving a couple of quid and should just have booked premier inn.
I find with air bnb that the quality has always been better than my expectations, but if they don’t advertise on any platforms then there’s normally a good reason.
Gets my vote. I used to travel a bit for work in the UK in the mid 90s and always used this approach rather than staying in fairly unappealing hotels. Better beer and usually a breakfast cooked to order rather than something sitting on a hotplate since 6am.

Just go on Tinder; bed and extras all for nowt.
Lowestoft isn't really known for its culinary hotspots (I am trying to be polite here). All very run of the mill.
If you can, head to Aldeburgh via an inland diversion to Framlingham and have lunch at The Station Hotel. Its a great 'rough around the edges' proper pub which serves local beers and has a fine menu too - albeit more limited at lunchtime.
It used to be my local and I miss it dearly.
It can get busy though, so check before driving out there - and if in doubt - book a table!
We stay in Aldeburgh (or just outside) a lot and the fish and chips are fantastic. Either the Golden Galleon or the Aldeburgh Fish & Chip shop. Yum!
Went to Lowestoft once but not too bothered about going again. It might have changed since, but Liverpool in the 1980s was less run down.
Very much a place where you could spend a week there one evening....
Thanks, have added The Station Hotel to my Google maps food list, burgers look good.
We stay in Aldeburgh once or twice a year with friends and always go for the famous fish and chip shop although I've never had the fish -- straight in for the best chicken nuggets I've had in my life.
I'm in an Audi RS5 for a week which averages a touch under 20mpg at 65mph on the motorway so I'm praying the meeting gets pushed back. Had some fun in it on Sunday which got me 7-8mpg and a migraine from being thrown around.
When working at Woodbridge we always stayed at the Holiday Inn Ipswich - Orwell, it’s usually around £70 per night.
