About this house rental
Charming C16 large oak-beamed house in fabulous wild gardens outside village of Swilland within 2 hours of London, with lovely award winning good food pub a 15 minute walk, which now does take away too! - Atmospheric and beautiful: Glencarron Toad Hall lies in the countryside in Suffolk Coastal District. Please enquire if you want other than a Friday to Friday or Friday to Monday stay. This is a truly rural area with lots of farming and little traffic on narrow lanes. The nearby ancient town of Woodbridge on the River Deben has super antique and book shops as well as swimming pool and bowling alley and the river Deben for boating or walking beside. (Weeks mostly Friday to Friday or weekends Friday to Monday in term time or enquire for other periods and possible late booking/under-occupancy reduction. Our cancellation policy does include refunds in certain circumstances - Please see our full Glencarron & Toad hall Ts and Cs). The area is full of villages with good pubs, sites of interest (we particularly enjoyed Sutton Hoo and the Mechanical Music Museum) and riding, golf, fishing etc and the nearest beaches at Aldeburgh and Hollesley are just 30 minutes drive, with others all along the coast from Frinton to Walberswick and Southwold. In 2 acres of gardens, this very spacious Grade II listed C16 timber framed house, complete with inglenook fireplace, accommodates 10 comfortably in 5/6 bedrooms (we have a blow up single or double sofa bed in third reception/games room) for weeks or short breaks. The house is well-equipped with all modern conveniences among a wealth of exposed timbers. There is an extra original back staircase which is quaint. An excellent good food pub with outside seating is within 15 minutes walking distance. A good riding stable is just along the lane. Children and well-behaved dog (on ground floor only please) welcome! The house is centrally heated and also has a log burning stove in one of the sitting rooms. You should be warned that it is an old house and the staircases, whilst delightful for most, are possibly steeper than you may be used to and may not be suitable for someone with a disability. However, one of the double bedrooms is on the ground floor opposite the shower room (with WC) across the large sitting hallway.

Wonderful property for large family group to enjoy
Authentic old property with beams for those that want to stay somewhere with character. There is a ground floor bedroom and bathroom for those with reduced mobility. Enclosed, large garden, if travelling with dogs as we did. Well equipped kitchen with all mod cons and games room with ping pong table for the younger members of the group. Location very rural, so a car is required to get about. All in all we had a great few days away, spent at Toad Hall.

Toad Hall house and garden
House is a little tired but well equipped and perfect if you have dogs to run around the big garden. The summer house and bbq are unusable and the lake is non existent. The area is very remote, you would definitely need a car unless you brought absolutely everything you needed with you.

A lovely house deep in the country
Beautiful old house with huge garden. We were a group of 6 friends who all wanted their own room and this is possible, though obviously some more comfortable than others. It's a big house, lots of space for a larger group, very well equipped. Woodbridge not too far away for shopping, a village shop closer and a friendly local pub. We would very happily go again .

Perfect for a family get together
Lovely property, fully of character and quirks, exactly as described on the website. Loads of space and the kids loved the large garden, just watch out for the stinging nettles! Would recommend to anyone who wants to get away to a nice quite rural location.
