dining room. Afternoon tea can be taken in the garden or on cooler
days in the Victorian greenhouse in the kitchen garden where
you can view the vegetables that you will eat at dinner!
|
- The garden is some three acres,
during the shooting season pheasants use it as a refuge and can
often be seen looking through the French windows!

- There is an old croquet lawn
which guests are free to use.
-
- For guests that do not drive
we can collect you from the railway station, and during your
stay give you a tour of the places of interest in the area.

available from the house.

- The food is a highlight of
staying at Haughley; Caroline and Jeffrey are accomplished cooks
who believe that using the finest ingredients is the key to culinary
excellence.

- Organic vegetables grown in
their walled kitchen garden, fruit from the orchard, eggs from
their hens.

from their own traditionally reared cattle and game is from their
own land; other meats are sourced locally from reliable producers.

- History
-
- Haughley House is a late medieval
manor house with later additions, built just outside the outer
bailey of the castle (only the foundations and the large moat
remain) in the conservation area of the village of Haughley,
which is listed by English Heritage as a site of National importance.
-
- The house has a priest hole
in one of the chimneys and two passages (now sealed off) one
of which leads to the church and it is the true centre of the
Manor.
