About Thorington Hall

A striking eight-bedroom farmhouse with fine historic detailing throughout.

Stay at one of Suffolk’s oldest (and most intriguing) houses. With intricately decorated Tudor roses on the west staircase and signatures of previous owners mysteriously etched into the windows, Thorington Hall is a luxury farmhouse with stacks of charm.

There’s lots of space, inside and out – perfect for big families and groups looking for a getaway with a difference. Up to four dogs are also welcome (and there’re plenty of walks to keep them happy). Upstairs you’ll find big, bright bedrooms and below, a spacious kitchen and large reception areas. There are log burners fit for cosy evenings along with modern facilities too. Outside there’s a large, enclosed garden with an orchard, stables and even a basic tennis court – great for a knock about.

You can’t beat Thorington for a beautiful setting and there are walks straight from the front door.
