We spent 4 nights at Haughly House , Haughly,  in September 2023. The house is ancient quirky and beautiful. It is full of old family paintings and furniture. Our bedroom was large, well furnished with an excellent bathroom and a floor that undulated a little. Par for the course in a house this old! The hosts are friendly articulate and very good cooks. We took breakfast and evening meal at the house. Much of the food is sourced from the farm and the kitchen garden and is of good quality and well prepared. It was a delight to eat our evening meal with our hosts. We discussed all manner of topics and, though our views were at times divergent, having articulate, informed and civilised conversation was a pleasure difficult to find in our present times. I would unreservedly recommend a stay at this house including taking the evening meal option.  Dr Edwin Martin

Friendly articulate hosts in a beautiful house and with excellent meals

We stayed three nights and were sorry to leave.

Haughley House is Caroline and Jefferey's home and is an historic haven of tranquillity, unless you should have something against the chiming of the hall clock (in which case be aware that the village church tower also houses a working clock!). 

We had reserved an evening meal for the day of our arrival and were very glad we did.  The food was wonderful.  The produce was all local and the soup, main and desert were all quite excellent.  I had brought a bottle of wine with us but need not have bothered as our hosts, who also sat down to eat with us at the huge dining room table, keep a good selection of wines.  The breakfast menu has plenty of choice and I recommend the cooked breakfast - all of it.  The fresh free range eggs and locally produced black pudding, bacon and sausages are excellent.  The tomatoes from the greenhouse in the garden tasted of tomato (unlike supermarket tomatoes).  The bread is home-baked and well worth having, with the cooked meal or the home-made preserves, again from local produce, except for the oranges in the marmalade.

Our room faced the front and had a comfortable bed, en-suite with shower, kettle with tea and coffee provided (and biscuits and apples from the garden), a tv, ample and easy to access electrical sockets, hair-dryer, cupboard with coat-hangers, chairs, table and a sort of "lazy Susan" bookcase chock-a-block with reading matter for every taste; classics, novels, non-fiction etc.  For bibliophiles there are more books in the ground floor library and sitting room!

We had come for my daughter's wedding and in the kerfuffle of leaving home I had forgotten to pack my cravat.  Jefferey very, very kindly allowed me to choose a bow tie to borrow from his extensive selection.  A navy with sliver paisley design was just the ticket - thank you Jeffrey!  

To sum up - highly recommended - a home in a home, away from home.

Sorry to leave

We spent 6 nights with Caroline and Jeffrey ay Haughley House and really enjoyed our stay.  We were made very welcome and the breakfasts were delicious.  There were extra little touches like the homemade biscuits in the room to have with our tea and coffee, and chocolates left on the dressing table.  Our room was very comfortable.  As we booked direct, we even had a complimentary evening meal which we shared with our hosts, and had the opportunity to get to know them a bit.  It was a very enjoyable evening.   I can thoroughly recommend a stay here.

A lovely stay

I stayed here for 3 nights and just loved it here. The house is absolutely charming, as are the owners Jeffrey and Caroline. I particularly enjoyed the little touches like fresh coffee and love heart shortbreads provided in my room along with fresh flowers. Breakfast was amazing using local ingredients and home made bread. On leaving Caroline gifted me an Easter cake for my Mum, who I was visiting and Jeffrey gave me some fresh eggs from their chickens. I ended up feeling more like a friend than a guest. I would definitely recommend.

A charming, quintessential house/manor in the heart of Suffolk

We would like to thank Caroline and Jeffrey for a wonderful 2 night break, and for sharing their home with us. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were made to feel more like friends than guests. The first night we arrived, the meal they provided was superb, from the canopes, the starter, the main meal and the dessert, all were superb. We had the room with the four poster bed, which was extremely comfortable, the room was more than expected, with tea and coffee provided, for an early morning beverage. Like all houses of this age, if you look hard enough, you can find small faults, but i'm not petty enough to point them out, as it didn't effect our stay or enjoyment in any way. I can only say to you both, keep up the good work and service you provide, as nothing seemed too much trouble for you. We loved your home, we  enjoyed your company enormously on both evenings, and your breakfast has to be the best, and believe me I've tried many. So to close, I would recommend this B&B to anybody in the area. And Val said "thank you" for returning her pyjama bottoms, which has saved me a trip to M&S. We look forward to catching up with you both very soon.

Excellent

Jeffrey and Caroline were so kind to accomodate a last minute change to my visit, they made me feel at home  
right from the start. 
My room was very comfortable, the bed like a cloud and everything was spotless.
Caroline is a great cook, her homemade compote a delight 
to die for.
Fresh flowers everywhere and little treats for guests made the experience memorable.
The icing on the cake was sharing dinner with them and getting to know how antique their home is.
Will come back if I have the opportunity.

Outstanding. 100% recommend.

3 night stay with my Mum, to see the Suffolk sights.   We greatly enjoyed staying in such an old and interesting house with such beautiful antiques,  that Mum loved.  Geoffrey and Caroline are very friendly and relaxed hosts and we had a tasty supper and delicious breakfasts.   Peaceful and spotlesslessly clean - and well placed for touring around.  Recommended.

Delightful hosts

A delightful location.

A manor house with great character; enormous and spotless bedroom and en-suite. Excellent food and very welcoming and attentive hosts.

An ideal location for anyone seeking a quiet few days, and well placed for visiting the many interesting locations in Suffolk.

Highly recommended

Something quite different

We arranged to meet the owner at 2 pm to pass on to them 150 year old documents which refer to to them. When we arrived they had "gone out" as a resident informed us.. After traveling many mile to this meeting we were bitterly disappointed.
They will never see these deeds and documents now!

Let down on first visit

Had a 2 night break here at Haughley House after having every trip cancelled this year, yes, times have changed and we have to do things a bit differently now, especially when staying in hotels.
Jeffrey and Caroline were excellent hosts, no stress, very laid back and a pleasure to stay here, the cooked breakfast was excellent, the bacon and sausage were divine, and I heeded the warning and didn't put the brown sauce on these.  The eggs were from there own chickens that we were watching whilst sat on the rear lawn soaking up the sun.
The room was a delight, a four poster bed and en-suite, now some people might say here that it was noisy with the floor boards or too much stuff in the room, I personally liked it as it shows more of the owners than a bland modern hotel room, the house is very old which is why we choose it, so the floor boards creaking and the slope, the ill fitting doors are all part of the old house experience. 
Would we stay again in this Three (four) in a bed winner, YES
