Sibton White Horse

Neil and Gill have been welcoming guests since 2005, many love it so much they return time and again. It’s easy to see why when you step inside to a roaring log fire in the inglenook, well-kept ancient tiles underfoot and old beams above. Pull up a stool at the traditional bar for a pint of ale or settle down in two cosy dining rooms for a delicious meal.

Imaginative seasonal menus change weekly and are packed with local produce and ingredients from Neil’s productive kitchen garden, topped up with choice picks from local allotmenteers who barter fresh veg for a drink or two. Whether you come for lunch before or after a hearty walk, or supper, it’s always a treat.

Five simple and peaceful annexe bedrooms overlook the colourful garden. You wake to a scrumptious home-cooked breakfast: kippers, smoked salmon, muesli and proper coffee. Stride out to rural Suffolk; Woodbridge, Southwold and the coast are all within touching distance.
