A note from Margaret and Ray
We bought this house in 1996. We had been on Pleasant Street for twenty-two years our three kids grew up got married and then Margaret decided we needed more room. A bed and breakfast was not in our plans but we began to think of the fun it would be meeting new people, and sharing our home with strangers that wanted to pay us for being here (a no brainier). So out of those thoughts and dreams, came our B&B, which grew to become The Ipswich Inn.
All we wanted and wished for has come true. This has been a great adventure, one that continues, each day bringing more and more people into our lives that have become friends. We truly hope your stay with us and your meal will be as pleasant and restful as the joy we have in bringing it to you.
Sincerely,
Margaret & Ray
