“We had a great week at Church Farmhouse .”

It has the real wow factor and we definitely recommend it if you’re visiting with friends ( like we did ) , family or bigger groups .It was extremely well equipped and it was immaculate when we arrived . The immediate area is beautiful and very quiet with lovely walks on the doorstep , however its only 30 odd minutes drive to Southwold and Aldeburgh . Nearby Halesworth has lovely shops and a large Coop but if you want the larger ( and cheaper ! ) supermarkets you’ll need to travel a bit further . There are some lovely pubs close by but if you want to get into the Huntingfield Arms in the nearby village ( and a short walk way from the house ) we recommend you book well ahead as we couldn’t get in ! We certainly hope to visit again .

“Comfortable and well-appointed house in a peaceful location but not too far from supermarket in town.”

The weather was wet at times and chilly but the house was cosy despite a somewhat musty smell - but it’s an old house - it would have been better had the heating been on but this is not possible in July!!

“This was my second stay at Church Farmhouse and it was every bit as good as the first!”

It’s a wonderful place to spend time relaxing with my adult children and their partners. The setting is so peaceful and quiet, and the house itself is beautifully renovated. It’s also spacious enough for people to do their own thing whether in one of the sitting rooms, games room or outside in the lovely sunny garden. I’d thoroughly recommend staying here. I’ll certainly be back next year!

“Very old, very quiet and lots of space.”

Enjoyed traffic free roads to visit interesting places and meals and snacks out. Don't think we shall ever find such a place again. Terry

“An absolute gem of a house and we feel privileged to have had the chance to stay here.”

There is plenty of space for a family to enjoy a break with comfortable beds and roomy well equipped bathrooms. The games room is great for gathering in the evening after the days activities. We were greeted on arrival by the lady owner and were pleased to see her again on the morning we came home, thank you for the warm welcome and the Prosecco and carrot cake. Would love to visit again in summertime.

“Church House was beautiful surrounded by countryside views and walks.”

We loved reading about the history of the house and its links to Anne of Cleaves. We were well looked after by Janet (house keeper) and on arrival we found all the essentials were there, even milk, a delicious cake and fizz to get our holiday started. The games room was a wonderful addition to the property which made evenings and wetter days even better (especially with our son on crutches, long walks were not possible). The Huntingfield Arms is definitely worth a visit and the food served was lovely. We loved the space not only outside but inside too and would gladly return in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay!
