Derby's Loft in Beccles is highly praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and stunning marina views. Guests appreciate the proximity to the town centre and the friendly, helpful owner, Jim. While the property is generally well-regarded, a few guests suggest that a deeper clean and minor maintenance could enhance the experience.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Derby's Loft and once again it didn't disappoint. The accommodation is very spacious and comfortable and everything you need is there. The views over the marina are brilliant, a perfect location, within walking distance from the town. The owner Jim, is always most helpful and very friendly too.

Derbys Loft is an amazing place to stay. Very comfortable and roomy, and everything there that you would need for your stay. I would like to say the owner Jim is the nicest man ever. I called the morning of our arrival to ask him to recommend a taxi as we stayed somewhere else the night before and he said he would pick us up himself. He went out of his way to get us. Could not ask for a nicer person or a better place to stay.
