to get started.

The room was very large as was the breakfast with superb quality ingredients.

Eric, United Kingdom

A fabulous breakfast - quality local produce, cooked and served impeccably.

Peter, United Kingdom

A warm welcome with a pot of tea. The hosts were charming and the food was beyond expectation - with home baked bread, fresh eggs, home cured bacon and sausage. The room was large, the view was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Beautiful, well kept grounds to walk around and enjoy a drink. This was a wonderful experience and I will not hesitate to return. Haughley House is without doubt the best accommodation I have ever visited, during the years of driving around this country searching for overnight lodging.

Rob, United Kingdom

Evening meal & breakfast was excellent, owners very accommodating and knowledgeable, house & gardens beautiful.

Robert, United Kingdom

The breakfast was fantastic with locally provided produce.

Anthony, United Kingdom

A beautiful location, beautiful house, a gorgeous luxurious room. The Breakfast was excellent as was the service and thanks for staying up late last night to await our late return, it was most appreciated. If we ever need to be in Suffolk again ,we now know where to stay.

David, United Kingdom

Great hosts, wonderful location and good food (including catering very well for a gluten free diet). An excellent all round experience.

Penny, United Kingdom

Beautiful house in a beautiful village. Our room was big with a nice en-suite although shower pressure was a little low. Gorgeous lounge where Caroline and Jeffrey served us tea and fruit loaf which was delicious and the room had loads of books. I imagine there is an interesting history there. Cleanliness was excellent right down to the bed being turned down and chocolates in our room. Tea and coffee making facilities also in the room. Great cooked breakfast and lots of choice. Really good eateries in the village if you wanted, but Caroline and Jeffrey also offered dinner and drinks if you wanted it.

Jan, United Kingdom

Simply the most comfortable and gracious home to stay anywhere in England.

William, Japan

The hosts were delightful. Entertaining and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, especially the bacon that comes from their own pigs. I forgot to ask if they sold it, but if they do, I will buy some when next in the area. The house is full of interesting memorabilia.

Traumatic rude homophobic experience (reported to the police as assault + hate crime) "I booked this place via booking.com where nothing was mentioned about not being allowed to be in the room during daytime. However at 12noon the owner knocked on the door, I said he could not come in as I was lying naked on my bed (I'm ill that's why I was sleeping). However he stormed in, seeing me naked. He shouted at me, telling that I cannot be in the room in daytime. He spoke about "people like you" (I'm clearly gay). When I started recording the conversation he was still rude (not clever to do this on recording, so if I were him I would not deny anything or insult me online, as I will release this footage then, just for my own safety). I felt physically threatened. I'm a tall bloke so that's not a worry but I would strongly recommend single women or gay people not to come here, just to prevent a traumatic experience and possible violence. Other reviews say the same! I'm now outside, being ill, being homophobically insulted, crying. My trip could not have been worse." I wrote this review immediately after being thrown out of the property on the basis of discrimination. This is now almost a week ago, and I'm still suffering from post-traumatic stress. The police is investigating this now as an assault and hate crime. The customer service of booking.com has been very supportive and has done everything they could to help me after this traumatic experience. I have recommended them not to include this place on their website anymore. Please do book another place via booking.com

Total attention to detail and personal touches made all the difference to staying in a faceless hotel.Great hosts. Books and magazines, flowers in the bedroom, lights put on and curtains drawn on my return from eating out. A real house and home, with seriously proper food.
