  Henstead Hall is certainly something to behold, it’s perfect for a large family/friend get together which is what we were. Each bedroom was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were plentiful which means you’re never short of somewhere to shower or bathe. We couldn’t believe the size of the property and having a formal dining room was great because we could feed the young kids in the kitchen where we didn’t have to worry about spillages on the solid flooring, but for our meals we could retire to the more formal dining room (although the dining room was large enough to seat us all if needed). The billiards room with games was a great room used by us all and the large drawing room has enough seating for all. I think the property is ideal for families as it’s not a museum, but is still well kept. Bedding and towels are of a good quality so it felt like a proper holiday. The kitchen is well appointed with two dishwashers, plenty of cooking pots and pans, and something to note which wasn’t clear on the listing is that in the kitchen there are two fridge freezers (the kind with a larger fridge and smaller 3 drawer freezer under). It suited us fine for a group of 16 for a week. The only thing I thought was missing was a food processor/blender type thing for soups, mass chopping onions. There was a small issue early in our stay because it seems the ladybirds living locally had come out of hibernation, but the owners were swift to do an extra clean of the property to remove the additional visitors. I think the property represents good value for money, is nicely located for shops in Beccles and the seaside and other attractions. I’d definitely recommend it for groups of friends and families.

  If you are looking for somewhere to escape, relax and find peace and tranquility, then this is the place. Spacious, calming, beautifully laid out with bedrooms at one end, entertaining space in the middle and kitchen area/outside BBQ and wood fired hot tub at the other end. We had such a special mini break here with family. Super property for entertaining all generations, lovely rural surroundings with grassed area for ball games, and lots of outdoor seating/dining table, plus wild flower areas and a sun trap corner. Loads of car parking too! The light, energy and serenity of Rumi’s is super for restoring the soul, completely away from the busy grind of daily life. Lovely location for exploring Southwold, Walberswick, Dunwich and Covehithe and sandy beaches are so closeby. Our highlight from this stay was watching the June strawberry moon from the hot tub, such a special moment to treasure! So highly recommended and we definitely would love a return visit, can’t wait ❤️. Thank you to the marvellous hosts for making sure we had everything we needed. Patricia and P-Ann June 2025

  The property was excellent; however, there were two issues and neither was properly addressed.

  Firstly, during the stay it was necessary for some bedding to be washed (due to a small child being ill). By late afternoon it was clear that the bedding would not be dry enough to reuse that night and I therefore requested fresh bedding via the website. None was forthcoming. Secondly, one of the guests left an orthopaedic pillow behind when we left. I quickly informed you prior to the new guests arriving as I thought the cleaners would be able to retrieve it and send it on. I even informed you of the room that the pillow would be in. The pillow was not retrieved. Six days later, after chasing this up twice, I received an email saying that the pillow could not be found. This is not good enough. I wonder if the property owners even actually looked for it. Very unsatisfactory.

  We spent the weekend at Hen House with friends. We had plenty of space for 15 of us to socialise together, with options to go and sit somewhere quietly when needed. The kitchens had everything we needed to be able to cook for a large group. The rooms were clean and had an en-suite in every room, which was great. The surroundings were really peaceful and we loved that there were two goats next to the property who were very cute, as well as the cows and sheep! We had an issue getting access to daisy cottage on the first night and Helen was very quick to help, both her and Bob were very friendly and helpful. Thanks for having us.

  As a big family of 15 we loved our stay here.

  Plenty of room and things to do. The kitchen was so well equipped. 2 dishwashers. 2 fridge freezers and so much crockery and cutlery - nothing worse than not having enough for a big group like that. The garden is fantastic and all of the house amazing. Only thing we felt as a family was the kitchen was so far from the garden and games room where most of the family were and as spent so much time cooking you feel a bit isolated. We loved it here but prefer a more open plan home so we can be more social. That’s just personal preference though. Nothing wrong with this property at all. It’s stunning. Thank you
