Farmland still surrounds this 17th century grade II listed traditional Suffolk farmhouse but Katherine and Gerry Cook do not work the land and the only animals about are the domestic variety, a few chickens providing breakfast eggs, 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.

Chintz covered sofas surround the big brick inglenook in the sitting room where Katherine offers guests tea and cake on arrival. Breakfast is served in the the sunny morning room and a full english breakfast comes highly recommended with special diets catered for. 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. The 2 acre garden
has an ancient bay tree and weeping willow by the pond.

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 located 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.
