Taking the name of and built on land once owned by French Benedictine Monks, as far back as 1198, these sympathetically restored farm buildings, offer accommodation with a great deal of character. Set amidst rolling countryside, it is a working farm producing cereals and free-range eggs.
Upper Somerton is a picturesque village with excellent walks, situated just 20 minutes drive from Bury St. Edmunds and Sudbury. It is close to the famous and historic towns of Long Melford, Lavenham and Clare; also just 45 minutes from horse racing at Newmarket or Thetford Forest. Cambridge is within an hours drive and the nearest beach at Southwold only 1½ hours (62 miles).
