Bed and Breakfast Accommodation in the Suffolk Countryside
Farmland
still surrounds this 17th century traditional Suffolk farmhouse
but Katherine and Gerry do not work the land and the only animals
about are the domestic variety, a few chickens, carp in the pond
and Oscar the cat. Katherine used to be a florist and still makes
fresh flower displays for the house. Examples of her other skills
and watercolour paintings are also dotted around.
Cosy
sofas surround the big brick inglenook in the sitting room where
Katherine offers tea and cake on arrival. Breakfast is served in
the sunny morning room and a full english breakfast comes highly
recommended. We can cater for any special dietary requirement that
you may have. We use locally grown produce wherever possible and
our free range hens happily provide breakfast eggs. There is a fridge
in the morning room for guests use.
Upstairs,
the handsomely furnished bedrooms are all immaculate, and overlook
the garden and countryside. They are tastefully decorated and have
period furniture in keeping with the farmhouse. All rooms have digital
T.V. with DVD, clock radios, tea & coffee facilities, fluffy
towels, robes and a selection of toiletries. We also have wireless
internet connection.
The
two acre garden which guests are most welcome to use has an ancient
bay tree and a weeping willow by the pond. Take a walk
up the lane and experience the lovely sunsets.
For
evening meals we recommend The Crown in Great Glemham or The Queens
Head in Dennington. Framlingham church is worth visiting and also
the historic 12th century castle from which Mary Tudor set out to
claim the throne.
Situated
1.5 miles east of Framlingham, we are ideally situated for exploring
the delights of Suffolk, the coast is just 15 miles away.
A
warm, friendly atmosphere and a pleasant stay is assured. We are
a non smoking establishment, if guests wish to smoke they can do
so in the garden. |
