The Experience

You’ll get a very friendly vibe from Sasha, who comes out to greet you in the pretty garden. You can have afternoon tea and homemade cake here or inside by the open fire in the sitting room surrounded by beautiful fabrics and wallpaper designed by Sasha’s mum, Anna French. The timber-framed house dates back to the 1500s and was originally the village pub. 

It’s worth coming for Sasha’s breakfasts alone – she’s a committed foodie. You may start with her homemade pear compote with organic ginger yogurt and a sprinkle of pecan and treacle granola, or a fruit salad of mango, melon, blueberries and pomegranate; there’s toasted sourdough or croissants from Pump Street Bakery and homemade marmalade from a Dundee recipe. If you still have room there’s local coffee-cured salmon or kippers, scrambled eggs and award-winning sausages, bacon and black pudding from the butcher in Aldeburgh. Sasha has also been discovering good walks in the area for the last twenty years and you can join the Sailor’s Path from Snape Bridge, a ten-minute drive.

Walk over the road to a good pub in the village or visit the church with its carved and painted ceiling. You’re 20 minutes from Orford, ten from Snape Maltings and 30 from Southwold, known as Chelsea-on-Sea.

Reviews

This part of rural Suffolk is to be treasured. It is in the deepest, greenest part of the countryside, yet on the edge of the romantic Sandlings forests and heathland and just a few minutes' drive from the most glorious stretch of the Suffolk coast. Life is deliberately leisured and to be enjoyed.
Inspected Peter Sawday's Inspector
Gregory, Ringwood

Weekend stay at this wonderful, full of character house in the heart of Suffolk. Located near numerous worth visiting towns and attractions and very close to the amazing Suffolk coast. What made the stay truly great was the unique host! Sasha made us feel so welcome, felt like being at home from the moment we walked through the door. Treated to sumptuous breakfasts, given huge amount of tips and advice on places to visit and eat, all spot-on, left to enjoy the peaceful house in front of a roaring fire and had long chats on a huge number of subjects that it was truly enjoyable. Will return!

Roses around the door; oak beamed ceilings; the most comfortable bed imaginable, with exquisite linen; world-class breakfast; real ale pub across the road and ancient church nearby; 15' from the cultural hub of Aldeburgh and all the beauty of the Suffolk coast.

We had a lovely stay at Crown House. Sasha is a delightful host, who made us, and our small dog, feel very welcome. The bedroom and lounge were cosy, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. While the bathroom was beautifully finished. As if this wasn't enough to recommend the place, the breakfast was incredible and the village location like something out of a novel. All in all a perfect B&B for a break!

Location

The neighbourhood

It's quiet here, with not much to do in the village except go to the pub. But the walking is superb and Sasha has done much research about the area, so do ask. She can tell you about circular walks with a good pub to stop off at for lunch, or a tea room for cake, long tiring hikes or gentle strolls. You can join the Suffolk Coastal Path for breath-taking walks and views across the North Sea – don't be put off by the name, the water is quite warm in summer. You're 10 minutes in the car from Framlingham for good restaurants, a medieval castle and market square - also famous for antiques.

Local points of interest from Sasha French

  • Just 1.5 miles off the A12 makes Crown House an easy base from which to explore all that the Suffolk Coast has to offer. Aldeburgh 15 mins, Southwold 30 mins, Orford 20 mins, Snape maltings 10 mins, Framlingham & Saxmundham 7 mins
  • The timber framed house, originally thatched, dates back to the late 1500s when it was the pub before being converted into 3 labourers cottages in the 17thC.
  • Framlingham is a very attractive medieval market town with a castle where Mary Tudor was pronounced queen. It also boasts The Station Hotel, which is in my opinion, the best place to eat
  • Very quiet, rural location, in picturesque village surrounded by fields. You can walk 1.5 miles across the fields to CAMRA award winning best pub in East Anglia The Sweffling White Horse - pub with no bar! Open Friday - Monday
  • BBC2 film location for "Detectorists"
  • Places to visit - Parham Airfield Museum, Sutton Hoo, Orford Ness and The Long shop Museum in Leiston is a must

Introducing

Sasha French

Sasha trained in and produced opera. She lived in London for years, retreating to Suffolk for weekends. She began to absolutely hate going back to London on Sunday nights, so she bought Crown House and settled here permanently some years ago. Her plan was always to run a special place and her inspiration was staying with other Sawday's owners. She adores meeting people, cooking breakfasts (especially poached eggs...) and helping people fall in love with her beautiful part of the country.
