Serve up culinary delights in the dining room, a lovely spot for all to gather and catch up on the day's events. Find comfort in the lounge, with three sofas and TV for entertainment, or challenge each other to a game of pool, table football or darts in the games room. While away the hours in the hot tub, set within the enclosed garden where your pooch can safely roam, or relax on the furniture in a glass of gin and tonic in hand. As the night falls, retreat to the bedrooms set over the first and second floor, with four king-size (zip/link) bedrooms to choose from, three of which have en-suite facilities, and a double with en-suite shower room. There is also a bathroom with a choice of bath or shower over. Just a brief walk away are two popular pubs, The Weeping Willow and The Three Horseshoes, where you can treat the group to a hearty meal out, along with a convenience store across the road, where you can pick up some homely essentials. Visit the National Trust Ickworth Park and Anglesey Abbey, providing stunning parkland and gardens, whilst historical sites and quaint streets await in Bury St Edmunds, with the fascinating ruins of Bury St Edmunds Abbey Gardens just next to the Cathedral, with beautiful grounds, perfect for a picnic in the sunshine. Venture further into the idyllic Suffolk countryside to explore the Bradfield Nature Reserve or one of the many historic sites, including Rougham Control Tower Museum. For those Harry Potter enthusiasts, head to Lavenham and explore the streets that were used as a backdrop for the scenes in Godric’s Hollow where Harry visits his parent’s graves and home. Experience the culture and beauty of Suffolk with all the family during a holiday at Chestnut Grange.
