더 스테이블스 앳 헨함 파크

amazing accommodation in an outstanding setting, our room was warm comfortable and very well appointed, well stocked tea coffee and even fresh milk, how good is that. our hostess Angie met us on arrival she was lovely, very welcoming and knowledgable, made us feel very special The breakfast as advertised was exceptional and set us up for walking in the Suffolk countryside. Thoroughly recommend the Stables, just wish we could have stayed longer

This 3 night stay was arranged for my birthday. First impressions great, lovely place. Owner quite abrupt but welcoming enough. We were shown to the Southwold Suite which was lovely. During first couple of hrs room got colder, no heat in rads. Went to find owner who advised the heating had just come on again. We asked how warm the large breakfast room might be the next morning as didn’t fancy sitting in the cold to eat. The owner went into great lengths to tell us how thermostats worked on radiators, by now my husband and I were pretty fed up when challenged the owner stormed off telling us to leave in the morning and he would refund our deposit. We left straight away one birthday spoilt!!!! Also no longer allowed to walk on the estate despite being advertised as 100s of acres of romantic walks as a working farm which would have meant having to go out in our car which was not the plan.

The breakfast was absolutely superb, with yummy bacon, sausage and eggs which was cooked to perfection, plus orange juice and the added bonus of marmite. Cannot complain about the greeting and hospitality, which was both warm, informative and friendly. Sadly the room let the accommodation down - although the bed was extremely comfortable and I was very warm and cosy, towels soft and large, room spacious, comfy sofa with tv etc.... the only place I could see, to put my suitcase, was on the floor. The ensuite shower was about 1 ft plus off the ground with the smallest door entry and you were standing off kilter within the space. With the bath, you needed a step ladder to climb in (I didn't try). Not enough lights and mirrors in both the bedroom or bathroom - no good for make-up, putting on jewellery, checking what you look like etc. The only way to charge mobiles and the like, was via a couple of extension leads. Finally the only tea bags they offered in the room were builders/ PG tips/Tetley's (I think), no offer of breakfast/earl grey tea bags. Loved the idea of an "honesty bar ", which we didn't use, but did take use of a lovely warm, comfy and welcoming communal sitting room. Fantastic location, very quiet, wildlife passing by, near other arears you would want to visit, including Minsmere. I would go back, but perhaps bring my own mirror and lights

Beautiful converted building with vast bedrooms in a stunning location. The property is around 15 mins from Southwold. The surroundings are amazing. Acres of green land and trees. The breakfasts were superb. Lovely staff that made us welcome. The building is steeped in history which you can read all about. There are nice pubs for food but a bit of a drive.

This place certainly had the wow factor! Lovely staff, lovely family room with so much space, lovely location, amazing breakfast! Very relaxed, honesty bar, lounge, games and dvds for you to borrow for your room. Good Wi-Fi, smart tv in room had access to iPlayer, Netflix, itv player 4od etc. We stayed in the Minsmere room, 1 double and two single beds with plenty of room if you needed a foldout bed too. We will certainly be returning here when we visit family locally!

Lovely spacious quirky comfortable characterful room with a large bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Pet friendly and use of a fridge just outside our room. Great to learn about the history of the property. Hosts were very helpful and informative and a great pre bookable breakfast cooked fresh with great products and plenty of choice. About four miles to Southwold and closeby for other places to visit
