Parkland views on every side but a short stroll to town

Holbecks House is a wonderful country B&B that has it all. It’s beautifully set in its own four or five acres and surrounded by parkland, but Hadleigh is just a mile away. You can enjoy the total peace of a rural retreat but within a few minutes walk along rural paths be amongst the shops, galleries and gastropubs of one of Suffolk’s most charming market towns.

Holbecks House can accommodate eight over three or four bedrooms, all of which have kingsized beds that can be configured as twin beds if required. The Gainsborough Room is a large double bedroom overlooking the front lawn with an en-suite featuring a walk-in shower as well as a large bath. The Malleson Room is on the south side of the house, with a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower. The Dennys Room is a double bedroom with en-suite that can be expanded for larger parties or families by also taking the de Winton Room, a double, in which case the bathroom will be shared. The de Winton Room is not rented independently.

There’s no need to walk into Hadleigh and many guests stay just where they are. The house itself is a delight, with antique furnishings and Persian rugs amongst a soothing palette of gentle hues. Head downstairs and there’s a large sitting room with books and guides to the area, a lovely dining room where breakfast is served, and magnificent grounds.
