Rosemary and Ian were the perfect hosts and made us very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and they even moved in a higher armchair into our room for my husband who they immediately saw would have had difficulty getting out of the ones in place already. We stayed in the Stable for a week and it was everything we wanted - clean, quiet, very comfy superking bed, well stocked tea tray, fridge with fresh milk, our own patio with table and chairs and a huge room! Rosemary's breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. An amazing old house full of history and a lovely garden to relax in where we watched baby rabbits, partridges and hares.
Tips for other travellers: The George at Hintlesham was an excellent place to eat close by - welcoming hosts, great food and some items done as 'small plates' which was good as their portions are very large! Our other favourite restaurant was an Italian - Titos in Hadley, about 4 miles away. Very friendly and welcoming, excellent food (classic Italian dishes plus some lovely surprises) and a great atmosphere! Lots to see and do within 30 or 40 minutes: Lavenham Town, its Guildhall and old timbered buildings are a must. Flatford Mill, Melford Hall and Framlingham Castle all worth a visit. But our favourite was Kentwell Hall - such a beautiful house with lovely natural gardens.
