Our View

This is a fabulous opportunity to stay in one of the most beautiful properties in the UK. Home to the Dukes of Grafton for over 350 years, it was built by Lord Arlington in 1666. The Palladian historic home is set in 10,500 acres of landscaped gardens, parkland, ancient broadleaf woodland and agricultural farmland.

The Pleasure Grounds were laid out by King Charles II’s courtier and celebrated landscape designer, John Evelyn and were extended over the eighteenth century by Capability Brown and William Kent. There is a wonderful, winding walk along the river and back.

Inside is richly furnished with sumptuous velvet sofas, fascinating historical portraits and an incredible collection of antiques. Quirky touches of detailed wallpapers, cartoon collections and hidden record cabinets keep the house feeling fresh and fun. Unlike many grand homes, the Duke and Duchess have left everything for guests to enjoy – the overwhelming feeling here is of generosity and hospitality.

Outside, we were enthralled by the beautiful wild swimming weir. Suffolk isn’t nicknamed Sunny Suffolk for nothing – we can imagine long, hot summers by the water’s edge with picnics and cocktails, sunbathing on the veranda and children splashing happily for hours. A seemingly endless bucolic dream.
