Staying in this historic house provides a unique and unforgettable experience, true luxury at an affordable price. Bedchambers feature braced crown posts, Elizabethan wall paintings and oak floors, with four-poster, lit bateau and polonaise beds. A number of the beds were bespoke made for the bedrooms by a Lavenham cabinetmaker.
