Hall Farm is well situated for visiting Bury St Edmunds and Norwich as well as such lovely coastal villages as Aldeburgh, Southwold and Orford.
Otley itself is a friendly village with some attractive Suffolk houses including Otley Hall, a Grade 1 listed moated manor house, well worth visiting. The local pub sells excellent food as well as fine Suffolk beers, whilst the village shop appears to stock almost everything you are likely to need.
A lovely area to explore, there are several delightful walks from the house as well as opportunities for cycling along quiet country lanes. For the more energetic there are two excellent golf courses and two riding stables close by. Summer or winter Hall Farm Cottage provides wonderful accommodation for family get togethers or a group of friends. The large beamed dining room has a wood burning stove, making it great for winter dinners and the grand piano in the drawing room is ideal for the musicians amongst us. In summer you might prefer a walk across the fields to the pub before relaxing on the terrace and enjoying a moonlit meal overlooking the lovely garden, pond and meadow beyond.
