Guests have access to the extensive gardens of Swafield Hall (including a tennis court), which consist of four enchanting acres surrounding the 16th-century manor house, famous for its symmetrical serpentine hedges, parterre, Arabian rose garden, croquet lawn, orchard & pond. With plenty of room for up to four guests, the property lies just a mile from the tranquil village of Swafield and is surrounded by beautiful fields offering glorious, serene walks.
