Bucks House Country Guest House

Description

Bucks House is a beautiful Grade II Listed building. It was built between 1510 and 1560 with lathe and plaster and a heavy timber frame. In Victorian times a brick 'skin' was used to cover the lathe and plaster, a sign that the then owners were people of substance who could afford a brick house! It is set on the village green in the centre of Great Bardfield, a medieval conservation village that has changed little in the past five hundred years.

The house is the much-loved family home of Nessie and Peter Poston, who now offer luxury bed and breakfast in the country house tradition. Bucks House is furnished with antiques, oriental and Turkish rugs and many works of art. We enjoy welcoming guests from all over the world to Bucks House. We try to ensure that all our guests enjoy their stay at Bucks House, and want to return.

All our centrally heated bedrooms are furnished with style and comfort in mind. Each is quite different, but all have the same attention to detail. Our beds, whether antique or modern, have high quality comfortable mattresses, down duvets and pillows and electric blankets in winter. If you have allergies, we can provide synthetic bedding. Each room has an electric heater, spare blankets and a fan.

We believe in using only the best ingredients and cook each breakfast individually. We use free range eggs, Suffolk dry cure bacon, home grown tomatoes whenever possible and sausages from the East London Sausage Company. We cater for vegetarians as well as meat eaters and we grill rather than fry if possible.

Our lovely Georgian sitting room, walled garden and patio are available for guests to use.

There are two good pubs in the village, both minutes from Bucks House. They serve excellent food. There are many good restaurants in the area and we can make reservations and book local taxis.

East Anglia is a beautiful rural area, unspoiled by mass tourism. Beautiful villages and small market towns abound. Within 40 minutes drive of Great Bardfield, you will find yourself in the stunning wool towns of Lavenham and Long Melford, both famous for their wonderful lathe and plaster timber framed buildings and antique shops. The same distance will take you to Dedham Vale, where John Constable painted so many of his famous scenes.
