Hugh and Lara Somerleyton Invite You and 11 guests to Stay for Two Nights’ B&B at their Beautiful Home, Somerleyton Hall, Suffolk - One of the Finest Victorian Stately Homes in the Country
The Somerleyton estate has been home to powerful figures going back almost 900 years. Included in your ‘Downtonesque’ stay is a private tour of the house, garden and grounds. Hidden beneath the grand Italianate exterior is the original Jacobean manor house, decorated in a mix of period styles.
The gardens are considered among the finest in East Anglia and are set over 12 acres. They offer fabulous views of the park, whose ancient oaks date from the 1600s. Here, cattle, pigs, wild ponies and deer roam freely, feeding off the natural vegetation. Hugh Somerleyton, a committed conservationist, is one of the pioneers behind WildEast, whose mission is to help restore the natural ecological conditions crucial for self-sustaining ecosystems rich with the natural diversity that the region used to support.
During your stay you will be looked after by Peter Thompson and his team of butlers and household staff. If you wish (at your own cost), Head Chef Alan Leach, who has worked for the family for 15 years, will make sure that you dine in style. Alternatively, you can enjoy excellent food at the Duke’s Head, in the village of Somerleyton, or at the Fritton Arms nearby.
