Otley Hall: The Magnificent Gardens Between Our Barns and Barges for Rent

An English rose between two more English roses, Otley Hall is within short distance of both our Barns and Barges for rent in Suffolk. Nestled within 10 acres of picturesque gardens, this 15th century Tudor Hall has earned a commanding reputation as being “a hidden sanctuary steeped in historic charm”. Offering everything from events and creative workshops, Otley Hall invites visitors to experience its gardens and enjoy plentiful refreshments in its destination cafe.

From the opportunity to explore aromatic gardens of a summer’s day, to sitting back and enjoying fireside retellings of iconic ghost stories at Halloween, Otley Hall brings together everything visitors could possibly wish for when heading out for a day at a quintessential historic English House.  

When it comes to grabbing a drink and a small bite to eat, the delightful Martha’s Barn serves up delectable specialty coffee as well as creative menus that source ingredients from a range of local sources. Housed inside of a splendidly converted oak-timbered barn, guests are welcome to rest up in a decidedly botanical retreat that sits in the heart of its grounds.

Around Christmas time, the doors of Otley Hall are opened for an intriguing house tour that features mulled wine and mince pies. To ensure that you don’t miss out on this opportunity, it is advisable to book ahead of time. 

No matter what time in the year you decide to visit, Otley Hall comes highly recommended when staying at our Barns and Barges for rent in Suffolk. To begin planning your day out to Otley Hall, be sure to take a look at the current availability of our Barns and Barges for rent.
