The Gildhall, Higham
Located in Higham, The Gildhall is a several hundred years old picture-perfect thatched cottage that has been updated to provide a warm and cosy place to stay with everything you could want in a home from home. The surrounding parkland and gorgeous mature gardens really set the scene for a wonderful peaceful break.
The Gildhall is a charming detached thatched cottage with a host of features and character to make it a very special place to stay. The cottage is timber framed with exposed beams, a winding staircase and the Aga in the kitchen gives a warm and cosy feel. The farmhouse kitchen is well equipped including a breakfast dining area in addition to the dining room with refectory table and seating for six guests. The sitting room has french doors leading out to an enclosed garden with furniture, allowing you to enjoy some al fresco dining. The Gildhall welcomes well-behaved dogs.
Three good sized bedrooms on the first floor, a double and two king-size, all have quality linens, superb views and are accompanied by an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. The floors are 'slightly on the huh' as we say here in Suffolk - a bit on a slant here and there!
Outside you have access to fifteen acres of gorgeous parkland, as well as your own enclosed mature gardens, perfect for children and dogs to explore safely. There is driveway parking for at least three cars. All in all this very pretty and tastefully furnished historic cottage and gardens are a lovely find, and make a peaceful escape for family and friends.
