| Haughley House is a late medieval manor house which retains the 'country house' style of a more leisurely age.
Caroline and Jeffrey Bowden offer charming accommodation where you can enjoy a period atmosphere and delicous food in an historical setting in the heart of Suffolk.
Situated in the centre of Suffolk we are an easy drive to Lavenham, Bury St Edmunds, Southwold, Aldeburgh etc. Suffolk is an unspoilt county which was the inspiration of artists Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable. It is famed for its villages and towns of timber framed buildings and magnificent churches, such as Lavenham, Long Melford and Bury St Edmunds. There is the heritage coast with its attractive towns such as Southwold. The world famous horse racing town of Newmarket home of the National Stud. Not forgetting the well known Aldeburgh Festival. All within easy reach of Haughley which is in the centre of Suffolk.
The three guest bedrooms are in the oldest part of the house and comprise two double and one twin all en-suite, with TV and tea making facilities if desired. We have a stair lift if required. We are a non smoking household. Pre-dinner drinks can be taken in either the oak panelled drawing room or the attractive sitting room. Dinner is served in the elegant dining room. Afternoon tea can be taken in the garden or on cooler days in the Victorian greenhouse in the kitchen garden where you can view the vegetables that you will eat at dinner! The garden is some three acres, during the shooting season pheasants use it as a refuge and can often be seen looking through the French windows! There is an old croquet lawn which guests are free to use. For guests that do not drive we can collect you from the railway station, and during your stay give you a tour of the places of interest in the area. There are many and varied walks available from the house.
The food is a highlight of staying at Haughley; Caroline and Jeffrey are accomplished cooks who believe that using the finest ingredients is the key to culinary excellence. Organic vegetables grown in their walled kitchen garden, fruit from the orchard, eggs from their hens. They are able to offer beef from their own traditionally reared cattle and game is from their own land; other meats are sourced locally from reliable producers.
