Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast

Colston Hall, Woodbridge, View of House

Built in the reign of Elizabeth I, Colston Hall has been at the heart of rural Suffolk life for over 400 years. Today, with a friendly welcome for every guest, warm hospitality (and a flock of some 100 traditional Suffolk ewes), the Hall and cottage, with their view over the Alde Valley retains links with its rural past. Carefully converted with an emphasis on quality and comfort, Colston Hall provides the perfect setting for a relaxing break.

Every bedroom has been carefully modernised with co-ordinating fabrics, private ensuite, guest controlled central heating, and tea and coffee making facilities.
Oak beams and Suffolk latch doors abound, bringing to each room its own individual character and warmth. The 'Squire's Room' with its antique, mahogany four-poster bed is a real treat.

We offer a full English breakfast, served in the breakfast room overlooking the lakes and pastures, combining locally cured bacon and traditional Suffolk sausages with farm fresh eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms followed by toast and delicious home-made marmalade. A vegetarian or continental breakfast is always available if preferred.

Bed and Breakfast from £42.50 pp per night.

Self-Catering at Colston Cottage

Overlooking the hall courtyard and with south facing views of the lakes and pastures, is Colston Cottage, a charming detached country cottage which provides self-catering accommodation for up to six people.
