"Just back from a wonderful stay at Old Hall Farm House. The property was a fantastic base for 3 families with young children. They loved playing in the garden and having access to the Maize Maze for the week was a real bonus. We had lots of wonderful trips out to Southwold, ROARR, Africa Alive and the East Anglia Transport Museum. The house was very clean and comfortable and we would definitely recommend" - Pam Knight

This characterful former farmhouse stands in picturesque countryside just 2 miles from the coastal town of Southwold, welcoming dog-owning families or groups craving rural tranquillity and the run of the South Coast and Heaths AONB. With spacious, tastefully-appointed living areas and outside spaces, versatile bedroom configurations and multiple bathrooms, the three-storey farmhouse will effortlessly cope with large, multigenerational parties.

You will immediately feel at ease in the south-facing lounge, which is spacious enough for everyone to socialise in throughout the day, especially after cooking and fuelling up in the modern kitchen/diner. Parents with mucky pups on two and four paws will find the utility room opposite incredibly useful, not least because it leads straight to and from the garden. The small study nearby is perfect for answering important calls or work emails. The first floor is home to an en-suite super-king-size bedroom, a single bedroom with an additional pull-out bed, and a family suite comprising a king-size bedroom connecting to a single bedroom. A family bathroom stands nearby and there is a lovely family shower room on the second floor, along with a king-size bedroom and a single bedroom with an additional pull-down single bed. There is plenty of space in the enclosed rear garden lawn for children and the dog to play, along with al fresco dining options galore from the patio.

Southwold Maize Maze Play Park borders the property and is sure to be popular with both the young and young at heart, while scenic walks along the banks of the River Blyth and Reydon Marshes start virtually from your doorstep. The vibrant town of Southwold (2 miles) is home to a range of dog-friendly amenities, not least the 190-metre-long pier, and sand and shingle beach.

  • 6 bedrooms – 1 super-king-size, 1 king-size, 2 singles (1 with additional pull-out single bed and another with an additional pull-down single bed), 1 family suite comprising a king-size bedroom, 1 adjoining single room with cot

Apart from the following niggles, we really enjoyed our stay. Somewhere to hang/unpack our clothes would be good (or tell your guests to bring their own wardrobes) :-) Somewhere to put toiletries in bathroom would be useful. Because the house accommodates a large number of guests, a couple of large saucepans would be useful. As would a bread kniRead morefe and colander. As stated before these were niggles and generally we loved the house. Hide

We had a good holiday in this property. It is large, mostly well decorated and has a good sized kitchen diner. The lounge, too, is large and there is enough seating for 8 adults. It is well placed for nice walks to Southwold and down to the river. We were hoping to use the play park a lot with our granddaughter but it is only open when the maise maRead moreze is open and it shut on our second day for the season so be aware of this if you are using the property from now on. As previous guests have mentioned, the whole property is badly in need of some maintenance. Mattresses are poor, some beds are quite rickety, lighting is poor and essentials like a dustpan and brush, bread knife, oven gloves and lots more are not provided. The back garden is full of weeds and is not a particularly nice place to sit. Be aware if you are 4 couples, one couple has to squeeze into the single + truckle bed on the first floor and one person will be on the floor. You can only access these beds from the end - no space to walk down the side. It is OK if you are three couples plus some singles though. We had a good time despite the short comings of the house but it could be so much nicer. Hide

This house is a beautiful looking period house thats incredibly spacious, pleasant in appearance and nicely decorated. For a family of 10 aged from 7 to 77 and a dog it never felt crowded. It is close to Southwold (under 5 minutes in the car and walkable). On the same farm site is a wonderful cafe (where house guests get a 10% discount) where we enRead morejoyed many coffees and fantastic pizzas with a live band on the Friday evening. There is also a very well laid out play park with zip wires and all sorts of other equipment that house guests have free daytime access to - the children in our party loved this! The maize mazes and walks are also great. Our concerns though are about the maintenance of the property. Multiple beds were in poor condition or actually broken. One sofa and a rocking chair in the lounge were also broken. More side or coffee tables, lighting and bedside tables/lamps would be beneficial. The house was surface clean but could do with a deeper clean. Self catering it maybe but for a house this size for so many people not a single teabag or pint of milk or anything else was provided and this felt somewhat mean. These issues have been raised many times in online reviews and in the paper guest book at the property, sadly it doesnt appear that anything is done to rectify the issues. Hide

The farmhouse is in a good location and the walks from it are beautiful, so nice to have access. The children loved the Maize maze and playground too.

The house was well located for Southwold town. It was also pretty well equipped and comfortable . I have to say though that the state of repair in some areas could have been better, particular the back garden area and some aspects of the house. It was, however, a relaxing holiday overall.
