Toad Hall, Swilland, Woodbridge, Suffolk

Beauty, comfort and luxury with old world charm: Toad Hall lies in a rural position near Swilland village in Suffolk Coastal District. A genuinely rural area with active farming and little traffic on narrow lanes. The ancient town of Woodbridge is 5 miles away on the River Deben and has many fine restaurants, antique and book shops. The area has an abundance of villages with good food pubs, sites of interest (we particularly enjoyed Sutton Hoo and the Mechanical Music Museum) and riding, golf and fishing. And lambing in the spring.

In 2 acres of secluded gardens with a stunning outside dining area, this spacious listed C16 house, with inglenook fireplace, accommodates 11/12 comfortably in 6/7 bedrooms for weeks or short breaks. The house is well equipped with all modern conveniences along with a wealth of exposed timbers. An excellent good food pub with outside seating is within 15 minutes walking distance across fields or a little more along lanes. A very good riding stable is just along the lane.

The accommodation comprises three double, two twin and one single bedroom (we can also supply a sofa bed in the games room or blow-up single bed, please enquire), three bathroom/shower rooms (one en suite). There is a large farmhouse style kitchen with a dining table, dishwasher and freezer etc, a summer sitting room as well as a winter sitting room with a handsome large log burning stove (both with TV+DVD), and a games room with table tennis. Central heating makes the house warm at all times. Children and well-behaved dog (on ground floor only) welcome!
