Bed and Breakfast Bulmer Tye House

Bulmer Tye, Sudbury, CO10 7ED, United Kingdom –

The property is run as a B&B by a charming wife and husband of great character. Both made me feel very welcome on arrival, the house is old kept in period style and well maintained. Lovely old farm styled kitchen for breakfast with home made bread and preserves. The couple have specific talents in wood crafts and writing. Enjoyed talking at length to them both. House located in a nice quiet location.

Nigel, United Kingdom

Owners have a lot of stories to tell and they are quite friendly. House is old but great, it has a soul. This place and its neighborhood amazes you upon arrival, parking is also very convenient just outside.

Anonymous, United Kingdom

The owners were lovely and very interesting. Amazing house! Lovely real fire. Home made marmalade. Mm They don’t offer a cooked breakfast but cereal toast eggs etc. That didn’t bother me but for some it might so should probably state that. They very kindly allowed me to use extra time with bathroom for bath after a long cycle day on check out day, but I requested it in advance. No tv or WiFi but I loved that.

Kate, United Kingdom

Pleasant grounds to walk around. plenty of car parking space. Hosts were friendly

Elliot, United Kingdom

Nice big room and good location near where we were visiting friends

Steve, France

Very eclectic English house operated by two wonderful hosts peter and Noele.

Greg, Australia

The owners of this gorgeous house were very interesting and welcoming. They have people to stay in their own charming home, somewhat unmodernised but all the more full of character and interest for that. The house was full of beautiful things: books, pictures, furniture and a venerable Aga. We loved sitting round the kitchen table for breakfast chatting to our hosts and the other guests. Pretty garden too. Such a different and heartwarming stay - a wonderful change from soulless hotel chains.

Charlotte, United Kingdom

This is not a hotel, it’s a BnB. But it’s the best BnB I’ve ever stayed in. Fantastic experience overall. Will be coming back!

Patrick, United Kingdom

The home was beautiful, and the hosts were lovely.

Daryl, United Kingdom

This is a very old (from 1600's?) and large rural English house, modernised in the 1700's! (and later). It is, refreshingly, not a sterile Hilton or Holiday Inn and you won't get a full English breakfast however you won't go hungery. It has beautiful polished furniture, a wonderful smell, home made cereal & bread, quirky rooms and, tons and tons of character! This alone is a good reason to visit. I liked the location, grounds and building (stairs, landings, floors, doors, windows, etc)... all very old and a privilege to experience. If you are really fussy, then you might like to take your own toiletries. The hosts were very friendly and accomodating.

Breakfast was cereal and a boiled egg served at a communal kitchen table. No tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom. No tv or wardrobe in the bedroom, and not possible to lock bedroom when leaving it. Soap in the bathroom had been used and had hairs attached to it.
Pleasant grounds to walk around. plenty of car parking space. Hosts were friendly

“Disappointing, over-priced and in need of bringing up to date but really nice hosts”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The property was advertised as Full English/Irish breakfast included which was one of the main attractions along with the location. However, on arrival we were advised that they don't do cooked breakfast and the advertising was incorrect. Breakfast actually consisted of home-made toast and jam with cereal and one boiled egg. Not what we were expecting or had booked for. The marketing also did not mention that the bathroom facilities were shared until after we had booked and provided card details too late to cancel. Even then it did not state that the bathroom facilities are shared with three other rooms plus the owners themselves. The facilities themselves were at the other end of the house and consisted of a separate shower in what appeared to be an old cupboard with no lock on the door with the water pressure almost non-existent. Next door was a separate WC with a flush system that broke the first time it was used and the only washbasin was across the landing in the bathroom with an ancient sink and very oddly positioned taps. One towel per person was provided but they were too small to even wrap round my wife who is not particularly large. For £90 per night we would have expected much better facitilities and a full proper cooked breakfast!!
Nice big room and good location near where we were visiting friends

It would have been good to know that card payment is not possible. I would have loved a bacon sandwich for breakfast!

Cleanliness in my bedroom was not high due to the nature of the very old building. A vacuum and dust around would have addressed this.

“A truly remarkable and uniquely pleasurable stay with two warm-hearted and distinguished hosts.”

Having to leave after such a short stay!
I had a delightful stay at this fascinating property, hosted by utterly charming hosts Peter and Noele. They made me feel very welcome when I arrived late evening. I was treated to cosy refreshment in their sitting room before retiring to my spacious, charming room which overlooked the beautiful grounds. Following a very peaceful night, I was treated to a relaxing breakfast and delightful conversation with this distinguished couple. I was privileged to be given a personal tour of the house which has many examples of Peter's amazing skills as a modern furniture designer and musical instrument maker. His pieces have breath-taking beauty and must be seen to be believed. Noele provided me with bed-time reading in the form of her latest in a line of published books. As a lecturer in Art and Furniture history, she was a delightful host and highly engaging person. This truly remarkable, yet totally unassuming couple provide a B&B experience which is totally unique and a rare pleasure. It was a privilege to stay at their home and enjoy their wonderful company. My only regret was that it was just a one night stay!
