We had a very pleasant stay with Maggie and Paddy at The Old Rectory. The accommodation was excellent as was the food at breakfast and dinner. A fine place to drive from to the outlying towns and villages.

We were greeted with words 'Welcome to our home' by Maggie as we stepped out of our car. The Old Rectory is a beautiful house and spotlessly clean. Shortly after arriving we enjoyed tea and cake in the guest sitting room overlooking the terrace and garden. The bed was extremely comfortable with Egyptian cotton sheets as advertised. We slept soundly. The breakfast was tip top and cooked to order with freshly made coffee in a cafetiere. The Eggs Benedict was faultless and delicious. We were made to feel comfortable and very welcome as Paddy and Maggie encouraged us to relax over breakfast and talk to the other guests. We were the masters of our own time. The 3 days were a real tonic and it suited us being away from the madding crowd in the picturesque Suffolk countryside.

If you truly want to get away from it all this is the place for you. It’s not the easiest place to find and I recommend using your sat-nav, but it’s truly worth it and once you get your bearings it’s not so difficult. This is a beautiful family home in an idyllic setting. Peace and quiet abounds. It’s a great place to hear the sounds of nature. The lounge is comfortable and homely, the bedroom and bathroom equally so and spotless without feeling sterile. The bacon, sausages and eggs for breakfast are all grown by the hosts and the honey comes from their own hives. The hosts are warm, friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Whilst we were initially concerned that we were miles from anywhere we soon found our way about and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If you want to experience a slower pace, to feel as though you’ve gone back to a more innocent time I recommend a stay at the Old Rectory.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay with Maggie and Paddy, plus, of course, Winston. Our hosts were very attentive and helpful with fantastic meals served, using local produce whenever possible. We felt very safe considering the current covid situation. Highly recommended.

Maggie welcomes you to her peaceful home where you’ll find a perfect space to stay. It’s clean, comfortable, with a great upstairs suite of rooms for a family. The breakfast was really special with home made jams, own recipe muesli and freshly laid eggs. Tucked away amidst stunning Suffolk countryside this is a special place to stay. My son even got to help feed the piglets!

The Old Rectory at Kettlebaston is warm, welcoming and friendly. It is beautifully furnished with interesting china in every room. We were met in the carpark and taken to our room by Maggie the owner. We were given tea and chocolate cake in the comfortable lounge. We had dinner at the 6 Bells in Preston St Mary less than 2 miles away We had a comfortable night and an excellent breakfast.

We loved this place! We booked to have a countryside weekend away and it was perfect for that. Close to Lavenham, which is full of antique shops and boutiques, as well as Bury St. Edmund and many other little historic villages, there's many great restaurants nearby as well. The place is beautiful, the host family are so charming, the breakfast was abundant. We're already planning another trip back.

Stayed because of reviews left. The Old Rectory is a family home B&B set in farm land. Its a bit out of the way but is run by Maggie and Paddy who are the nicest hosts Ive met. Comfortable and a breakfast to die for. Stayed on business and its not ideal due to location but as a get away from it all hotel its great. No resteraunt but pointed to a local pub which served superb food. Would stay again definatley
