Clay Hall House

This beautiful 500 year old manor house dates from the time of King Henry VIII with ancient timber beams, huge fireplaces and real woodburning stoves. Our guest rooms are in the oldest part of Clay Hall House built around 1520, yet offer 21 st century luxury in very comfortable private accommodation. For families and groups who book both our rooms we can offer extra accommodation - details on request. Breakfasts prepared from best quality locally sourced ingredients are cooked on our traditional Aga stove - in a kitchen awarded a maximum hygiene rating of 5 by the Food Standards Agency. Nestling in the beautiful, unspoilt Stour Valley that inspired world famous artists Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable, Clay Hall House is an ideal base for cycling, walking and car touring breaks. The pretty riverside town of Sudbury and historic Suffolk villages Lavenham and Long Melford are within 3 miles.
