The Experience

This is a big, friendly cottage (which used to be the village pub) and it lends itself to family or friend get-togethers perfectly. There’s plenty of space both indoors and out, and walks or cycles are outstanding in this conservation area, surrounded by woodland and fields. You’ll find plenty of footpaths around Great Glemham and a hand-drawn map of walks around the village.

Buy sourdough bread from Pump Street Bakery, award-winning sausages, bacon and black pudding from the butchers in Aldeburgh, and eat supper or have a barbecue in the pretty garden in summer. The sitting room has an open fire, and beautiful fabrics and wallpaper designed by Sasha’s mum, Anna French.

You’re just a 15-minute drive from the sea, so pack up picnics and all the beachy stuff you need for a good old English day at the seaside – treat yourself to a pint in the village pub when you get home.

Reviews

Charlotte, London

From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crown House. Sasha (and her wonderful dogs) was a great hostess, making sure we had everything we needed and offering to change laundry after a week. She gave us lots of tips for pubs etc in the local area. The house itself is beautifully appointed throughout, very comfortable beds and spacious. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend.


Catherine, London

We spent five delightful weeks at beautiful Crown House. The house is very confortable, with luxurious bedding, a cosy living room and a well equipped kitchen. Great Glemham is a pretty village tucked away from the crowds and yet a short drive away from the best Suffolk has to offer: farm shops, lovely beaches, historic villages, forest walks... On the doorstep is the Crown Inn pub and several footpaths taking you across fields and villages, perfect for a morning run or an evening stroll to enjoy the sunset.


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.

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.
