The house and land belonged to Cardinal Wolsey in the 1520s until it was taken away from him by King Henry V111 and given to Eton College, hence the name College Farm. It has been carefully modernised over the years to make a comfortable family home, but retains many of the original features.
There are 2 kingsize double/twin bedrooms (1 ensuite, 1 private bathroom) in the farmhouse, and a super king/ twin ensuite room in a ground-floor stable conversion in the garden which has its own entrance. All rooms have central heating, hot drinks tray, TV and radio alarm clocks and are all non-smoking rooms. There is a guests' lounge with Sky television, a variety of books and a log fire for cold winter evenings. Breakfast is served in a separate dining room where you can enjoy a hearty farmhouse meal freshly cooked on the Aga with local produce. Good food is available at the local pub for your evening meal, just half a mile away. Nearby there is an 18-hole golf course and also riding and fishing. There are country walks through the farm to see the wildlife and scenery. We are conveniently placed to visit 'Constable Country', the Wool Towns of Lavenham and Hadleigh, Sutton Hoo Viking Exhibition Centre (National Trust) near Woodbridge and Suffolk's Heritage Coast.
