A restored Georgian coaching inn in the quiet hamlet of Upper Holton, fifteen minutes from Southwold. Duke House sleeps six in three bedrooms, with an AGA kitchen, a wood burner and two and a half acres of gardens and grounds, and dogs are welcome.Duke House is a Georgian coaching inn, restored as a holiday home for six, set in the north Suffolk countryside with open fields beyond the hedge. Southwold’s beach is fifteen minutes away by car, with Walberswick and Dunwich just beyond.
The main bedroom has a super-king bed, an en-suite, a small study and a private balcony.
The second bedroom can be made up as a super-king or twins, and there is a snug third double, with a family bathroom and a large bath. Downstairs, the kitchen has an AGA and a long dining table looking over the garden, and the sitting room has a wood burner and room for everyone. A glass garden room looks out over the flower garden.
The garden by the house is private to guests, with two and a half acres of grounds beyond. Up to two dogs are welcome at no extra charge, and there is a boot room for muddy paws. Linen, towels, toiletries and firewood are provided.
There is off-street parking for six cars and a 7kW EV charger, free to use overnight.
Halesworth station, on the East Suffolk Line, is five minutes away, with trains to London in about two hours. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is 10am, with a minimum stay of two or three nights depending on the season. Guests aged 13 and over, plus babes in arms, are welcome.
The Little Duke, our one-bedroom retreat in the inn’s original stables, sits next door, so the two can be booked together for a party of eight. Book direct at dukehousesuffolk.com.
