Ship Timber & Suffolk Oak Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk

The accommodation here is set over the main house, which has five bedrooms, and a separate two-bedroom annexe. At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the first bedroom. The final two guests sleep on futons in the stable rather than in the main house or annexe – worth factoring in when you're thinking about how rooms are shared out. Air conditioning is only available in the first bedroom. Only the library fireplace is a working wood-burner – the fireplaces in the other reception rooms are decorative. Your host lights the library fire during the cooler months. The swimming pool is only available for use between April and September. Early check-ins and late check-outs are available upon request only. They can be arranged close to your arrival or departure date.
