Where to stay in Chantry
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
St Joseph's College sets the tone in Chantry. A room out this way suits a visitor whose days point at Belstead House, Crane Hall and the Red House rather than at the middle of Ipswich, and the district is housing for the most part. Beds are scarce inside it.
Ipswich itself carries the choice, and St Francis Church and the Triangle Church stay within an easy run of a town-centre room.
