Anyone from the area, or anyone who has been, recommend a place to stop for the weekend?

Not really that helpful but...

There is a hotel called the Limes but unless you like sticky carpets, crap food and bad hospitality I would avoid it like the plague! I have been there a few times for works christmas do's (I work about 3 miles away from Needham market) and on all occasions its been rubbish, We also tried the Cedars in Stowmarket which is only just up the road and that was much better but still far from top notch! but was cheap. Hope that helps

We have looked at The Limes but did have reservations, so thanks for clearing that one up.
