Boxted Hall is a splendid country manor house near Bury St Edmunds, in Suffolk. The front door is reached across a moat, over a beautifully romantic stone bridge.
The house is ideal for weekend parties with family and friends, and great for weddings or special celebrations. The lay-out of the reception rooms and bedrooms means it also works well for corporate use.
The house sleeps up to 26 guests in 13 bedrooms, 9 of which are en-suite (the last four bedrooms are in the attic, and share two shower rooms).
Downstairs, there’s the Hall, which seats 26 (and is perfect for dancing), a dining room (which seats 16), an oak-panelled library (complete with squashy armchairs and lamps and a secret door), and an elegant drawing room with a grand piano. There’s also a big,

House Facts
In the late 1970s a friend of the owners asked whether she could bring some friends round as they needed a place to stay for the night. They still hadn't turned up by 9.30pm so the landlady (the current owner's grandmother) decided to head up to bed - leaving a note: "Gone to bed - sausages in the fridge". The guests did eventually arrive and turned out to be the Rolling Stones, and the sausages were all eaten!

Our small company of 13 people stayed for a weekend to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary. This was the most amazing venue, great facilities and very comfortable, with a lovely ambiance. The setting is magical and the grounds are stunning. I think we were all quite giddy with excitement as soon as we arrived! Although we were quite busy with lots of arranged activities (archery, clay pigeon shooting and a murder mystery evening!), we found it super relaxing. We had caterers in for the whole weekend and that worked really well. Guy, the owner, was lovely and helpful and quick to reply to my many questions on email prior to the date and once we had arrived. We would all love to return one day!

Fantastic venue for my daughter's wedding not cheap but you can make a weekend on the event for the sort of price an afternoon/evening hire would cost in London

We had a great family holiday in the grand setting of Boxted Hall. The grounds were picture perfect and even when the weather wasn't cooperating there was plenty of space and activities inside. The local pubs recommended by Guy were excellent. A return some day is definitely on the cards.

The house is a wonderful combination of "wow" and relaxed. Having so many comfortable bedrooms and good bathrooms was perfect for our family group of teenagers, young adults and not-so-young adults. The tennis, croquet, badminton, pool and billiards were all much enjoyed, and being able to have our two dogs with us was great. Guy was friendly and helpful. All our family loved the house and are keen to re-book.

Amazing venue, wonderful host. Will most definitely be returning.

Stayed at Boxted Hall for a friend's wedding over a bank holiday weekend. The setting is spectacular and the hall is amazing place to spend a weekend. The kitchen facilities are great, there is a nice range of rooms, and the dining hall is very grand. Add in the croquet lawn, tennis court, swimming pool and masses of wildlife to see on tap and you have it all. Guy the owner was on site and super helpful with any requests or small problems that arose

We had a fantastic bank holiday weekend here as guests of a wedding party, really beautiful setting and a truly splendid house. The owner is really friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Hope to stay again soon.

From start to finish Guy was amazing. He arranged several visits to the hall prior to the weekend and when COVID cancelled the booking he made every effort to arrange an alternative date. Boxted Hall is the perfect venue for a wedding, large or small and a great getaway venue for friends or family. Everything that we needed was there and the kitchen facilities were amazing. The bedrooms are beautiful as is every room in the hall. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the main hall which is used as the large dining room and we also utilised it as our party room. There are 3 sitting rooms and a large billiards room with a full sized snooker table and dartboard. All bedrooms apart from the attic rooms are en-suite and the quality of the linen is outstanding. Thank you Guy and family for allowing us to use your family home, it was truly magical. We will be back!

We are a family of 8, we wanted to create some special memories for my husband’s 50th Birthday.. The minute we pulled up Boxted Hall in all its glory certainly did absolutely that. We were welcomed to the Fabulous weekend retreat, left to explore the Exquisite bedrooms, and Incredibly huge rooms to all sit together around an open fire. The boys spent many hours in the billiards room, we all ate , drank and laughed together. We catered for ourselves using the super clean, country kitchen. We loved the scenic walks, tennis courts and simply beautiful church. I’ve highly recommend a weekend away or a fantastic week in this superb property to all my friends and will continue to do so. We would love to be able to host a big party For family and friends there or hopefully a wedding in the not too distant future

It is 4 weeks now since our amazing long weekend at Boxted Hall to celebrate our Diamond Wedding anniversary and we still can't stop talking about it. The house is lovely, spacious and very well equipped and the grounds, with all of their amenities, kept the whole family entertained throughout. As our ages ranged from 3 to 83, that is no mean feat! We felt comfortable and relaxed in the homely atmosphere of Boxted and hope that we can return in the not too distant future and stay a little longer. The Waters Family"

We held our small wedding at Boxted Hall and had the most magical time. As a couple who had originally planned a larger wedding elsewhere (pre-Covid) we cannot now imagine our wedding in any other way. It was far more than we could have dreamed or imagined...how funny that such a strange situation turned our wedding into the most wonderful event, spanning a few days, making the most of the breathtaking surroundings and amazing facilities and allowing us to enjoy quality time with our closest friends and family. All we can say is that it was "meant to be" and our dreams came true at Boxted. We cannot say enough about the support and help we received from Guy beforehand and throughout the weekend; he did everything he could to make things the best they could be. You will be in very safe hands!

This was my daughters 'looked forward to' 50th birthday weekend. Boxted Hall is a most interesting house, with modern facilities where needed, providing every comfort within an historical building. Family displays of modern and ancient heritage added to the ambience, as did the roaring fires in the month of February. A black tie dinner evening was enhanced by the table setting of silver figurines and candelabra set out on the banquet tables. One of the best informative clay shoots and wonderful walks on the estate were enjoyed by the many. Guy was always on hand being everything you would hope from an attentive owner. A perfect week-end.

What a fabulous place this is! A stunning setting for anything your heart desires - be it a big bash, an intimate weekend get-away or a family vacation. This beautiful and well cared for Country House can be the backdrop for it all. The grounds are stunning and the house is beautiful, with an excellent attention to detail without being overbearing or unmanageable. It has been a delight to be a guest for a long weekend and I really hope to come back again.

What a paradise!!!! I went there last weekend with 28 family members including four small children and we had a ball. The House itself was stunning with lots of beautiful bedrooms, mostly with ensuites. We were all able to sit at the dining table together in the magnificent dining room. The house was exceedingly spacious set in beautiful gardens with a moat surrounding the house. Views from all sides of the house were wonderful. The facilities also included an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts with large grounds where we played cricket and croquet. The kitchen was extremely well laid out with everything possible we could need including two dishwashers. We spent a good part of the weekend outside as the weather was so good but inside we also had several sitting rooms, a pool room and a small tv room to relax . We would certainly consider returning to this house for another weekend as even with this large group the place felt very spacious and beautiful

We had the most wonderful wedding at Boxted Hall. Our guests can't stop talking about how unique and beautiful the venue was. Guy was incredible - helping us to organize everything from the equipment hire, recommended caterers, lending us lawn games, making time for extra visits & being so flexible and supportive. Boxted Hall allowed ... us to organise the perfect weekend - it was very unique and special. It is lovely as it comes - and you can also add your own touches (we had flowers, an aisle outside, ribbons in the trees & some torches for the evening). We had a smaller group on the Friday night for a family & friends dinner, allowing everyone to settle into the venue and feel like it was 'home' for the weekend. Everyone pitched in during the morning to get things set up (even allowing for the groom & groomsmen to have a quick pre-ceremony dip in the pool!). The hall had ample space for our 50 guests for dinner, followed by a band and a big party afterwards. We'd recommend Boxted Hall for anyone who wants to make a weekend of their wedding & put their own stamp on the day.
