Seckford Hall Review

The sense of history at this delightfully old-school hotel comes from more than just the magnificent Tudor architecture. Several pieces of furniture are castoffs from Buckingham Palace, and one of the beds was supposedly slept in by Elizabeth I. Rooms are large and comfortable, with nicely renovated bathrooms (some have whirlpool tubs). The landscaped grounds are perfect for a stroll to admire the rose bushes or the duck-filled lake. The restaurant specializes in local lobster; for cheaper meals, grab a table in the Club House. Ask about the secret passage and the fabulously bacchanalian ghost.

    Exceptional Wedding Venue

    After looking around various heritage sites in Suffolk for a wedding venue, we chose Seckford Hall-and so glad we did!
    They offer an exception service and a professional service, creating a day to remember forever.
    They made sure that our day went smoothly and our guests & ourselves wanted for nothing.
