Butley Priory

About this home

The Great Hall is a magnificent and plenty of room for everyone to enjoy catching up on their daily Suffolk adventures, board games, or just simply relax by the fire.

French doors lead directly onto the newly planted pretty Tudor garden, in the summer a mass of roses and lavender.

There are outside tables and chairs under a shady tree, for alfresco lunch and supper parties and BBQ. Completely secluded, the Priory is surrounded by ancient woodland and farmland.

The only noise you will hear are the nightingales singing or the occasional tractor.

The charming vaulted drawing room (television and books) furnished with sofas and armchairs is beyond the Great Hall. Hidden in the panelling is a door to the

Pilgrim’s Bar, a secret room, available for an extra charge if you’re celebrating. This tiny room is now a charming bar with a log fire, and the centre piece is the ancient “piscina” rescued from the abbey church.

Up the magnificent 18th century cantilevered stair case are three vast, luxurious double bedrooms, and The Monk’s Cell is a cosy single bedroom accessed via its own stairway.

There are wonderful walks (we provide a walking and biking map) cycling to Orford via Butley Creek, where the foot ferry takes you across the river.

There is a large pond approximately 120 metres in the woodland from the house – please ensure children are supervised when outdoors.

Ample off-road parking, for up to ten cars. Two well-behaved dogs welcome (additional charge).

Butley Priory provides a wonderful, unforgettable experience.
