My partner and I had a wonderful 3 night stay in the Henham room. Steeped in history, the fairly large room has a high ceiling laden with wooden beams and a floor on a quirky little slant in places. The bed is comfortable - I suffer with a bad back, and it's actually improved during my stay! There is a choice of duck goose or allergy pillow. This particular room has a clean, carpeted en-suite with a bath and shower. Each room has a tank of hot water per day, which is enough for two baths a day and possibly multiple showers. There is a sofa with a television in view, which separates the room up nicely. The bedroom furniture appears brand new and smells nicely of pine! There are coffee, PG tips, biscuits bottled water and green tea available in the room which are restocked daily. There is a fridge on the landing. The location is extremely quiet, however, you can occasionally hear people in the next room if you are in the bathroom, but not from the room itself. There is a strange little window close to the floor, but it was really good for view purposes. I even spotted an owl whilst putting on my make up! A hairdryer is available in the drawer, and a fan and heater in the wardrobe. The breakfast is very good. You get a huge list left in your room, whereby you 'order' your breakfast. You can choose porridge, fruit and yoghurt, a full English, and even scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. In addition to this, there are cereal, toast, jams, tea, coffee and orange juice available. They also cater for dairy free, gluten free and vegan diets, so make sure you let them know when ordering. There are picnic benches outside if you fancied a supermarket picnic dinner. Location wise, it's not a long drive to Southwold, Covehithe and Dunwich. There are no taxis unless they are coming across to make a substantial journey, so you'll also need to drive out to have dinner in the evenings. We tried The Plough in nearby Wangford (which has a petrol station next door - not open Sundays), and it was a cheery place, but my burger was terribly undercooked - still mooing! The next day we stumbled across The Angel in Halesworth which has a beautiful Italian restaurant attached. A real hidden gem and very reasonably priced at around £10-12 for a main rather than the usual £15-16 you see in other surrounding pubs etc. There is an 'honesty bar' back at Henham Stables which is a great idea, but I found it a little expensive at £12 for a bottle of wine and £3.50 for bottled beers. It's cheaper than pub prices though I guess! We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be going back again next summer! The owners were friendly and attentive. Thank you for having us.
