Although The Gildhall is several hundred years old, the picture-perfect thatched cottage has been updated to provide a warm and cosy place to stay with everything you could want in a home from home.
The surrounding parkland and gorgeous mature gardens really set the scene for a wonderful peaceful break. The Gildhall is a charming detached thatched cottage with a host of features and character to make it a very special place to stay.
The cottage is timber framed with exposed beams, a winding staircase and the Aga in the kitchen gives a warm and cosy feel. The farmhouse kitchen is well equipped including a breakfast dining area in addition to the dining room with refectory table and seating for six guests.
The sitting room has french windows leading out to an enclosed garden with furniture, allowing you to enjoy some alfresco dining.
The Gildhall welcomes well-behaved dogs.
Three good sized bedrooms on the first floor, a double and two king-sized, all have quality linens, superb views and are accompanied by an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. The floors are 'sloightly on the huh' as we say here in Suffolk - a bit on a slant here and there!
Outside you have access to fifteen acres of gorgeous parkland, as well as your own enclosed mature gardens, perfect for children and dogs to explore safely. There is driveway parking for at least three cars. All in all this very pretty and tastefully furnished historic cottage and gardens are a lovely find, and make a peaceful escape for family and friends.

We have just enjoyed our fifth stay in The Gildhall in Higham. We love the warmth and comfort of this beautiful period thatched cottage, and the views and walks from it’s own park, and beyond. My dogs enjoy every moment too, Plenty of space to run round the grounds and then home to a cosy kip in front of the aga.The kitchen is beautiful, And besides being very well equipped, it’s a pleasure to cook in and eat at the scrubbed table. Each room is tastefully appointed And really comfortably furnished. The only problem I have with The Gildhall is that I never want to leave! We are looking forward to our next visit already. Thank you Chris.
“We had a wonderful time at this delightful and roomy property. Our family and their partners came to join us. There is plenty of space for six adults and our dog. The garden is fully dog proof and there is lovely parkland adjoining the property. This was our first time cooking with an Aga and thanks to our expert cooks (partners) it was brilliant. Communication with the owners was very easy and they were most helpful. It is a lovely part of the world to visit.”
“We had a wonderful time… the cottage is delightful, warm and cosy yet plenty of space. The welcome pack was very generous and everything was super clean and comfy. Visited some lovely villages nearby, the garden and huge adjoining parkland were fantastic for the dogs. Thoroughly recommend.”
