Fantastic weekend

We were a group of 19 girls aged from 24 to 40 plus Lilly the dog. The house was the perfect size, the fact that every bedroom has an en-suite was great. The kitchen is very well equipped and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves and seat everyone round the huge table in the dining room. We were very lucky with the weather, it was very hot, perfect for sun bathing and playing ball games in the garden. On the Saturday we drove to nearby Dedham where we went rowing which was good fun. The house is great value for money and a great location (we are all fairly local and didn't have to travel too far). I would definitely recommend it for families/groups of friends and would love to return in the future.

WEST WOLDS U3A STROLLERS GROUP

Date Submitted: May 17, 2009   Date of Stay: May 2009
Our group of 24 people aged between 60 and 85 have just returned from a wonderful stay at the Old Rectory. This house works magnificently for large groups with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and a dining room where all 24 of us sat down for dinner together on two nights during our stay (one of which was while we held a murder mystery dinner party) and we had plenty of room to eat together and also set up a buffet in the dining room. The kitchen was vey well equipped and having the luxury of 11 en suite rooms was a real bonus. The setting at Tattingstone is perfect and an ideal location for walking. We walked at Alton Waters, Dedham and Flatford area, Rendelsham Forest and Pin Mill so we had a really good variety of walks, We would also recommend The Compasses at Holbrook if you want to eat out as a group in the area. We had a great meal there and the staff were so organised it was such a bonus on top of the excellent food we had there. We would definately return to The Old Rectory if we come to Suffolk as a group again.

I cannot stress enough how much our family enjoyed a long weekend at The Old Rectory. The house and grounds were everything we hoped for and more. We were a group of 12 adults and 13 children (2 babies) and truly had a magnificent time. We are just waiting for an excuse to book again.... Thank you.

I Miss it already!

Great for a big group, the Old Rectory is overwhelming in size with enough space to fit a large group (20 adults, 12 Kids). The rooms are a little dated but the main bedrooms are huge and spacious with lovely views. With small children the decor suited as we weren't as concerned. The first night we arrived the heating was not working but they got it all fixed and the house was then really lovely and warm all weekend, amazing considering the size!.

Richard the owner was away when we arrived but had been so attentive and efficient which was great as I was nervous about all the details as such a large group! Great games room, the snooker table takes £0.10 so worth getting some in if you have teenagers etc who want to play.

My only comment would be that the caterers they recommend (Bella Catering) were very poor and completely miscalculated the numbers (i ended up with nothing and had to take food on other plates!), it was very unispiring and did not look attractive. She is a lovely girl but if you like your food dont use her.

What a weekend, aged 9 months to 79 years for a 40th, it suited everyone.

Perfect for our needs

10 adults , 12 kids in our party - The Old Rectory was perfect for us - not too precious inside so we didnt have to worry about what the kids were up to, midweek it looked like a wreck but we got it tidy again by departure time.
The garden was fantastic - we did move the patio furniture out of the BBQ area into the garden during our stay because it suited us better for keeping an eye on the kids and it was just a nicer environment to sit in.
The house is very well equiped, the games room went down a storm - it's a shame the pool table is chargeable, not that I objected to paying the 20p just that we always seemed to be scrambling round for 10p pieces.
Tattingstone very quiet yet great location to get out & about if you can tear yourself away from the grounds at the house, we sailed at Alton Water, took a trip to Aldeburgh, Jimmy's farm etc but spent most of our time at The Old Rectory - eating & drinking outisde - we had a great week.

Family gathering
Lucari   Bracknell, Berkshire.

Great property to enable all the family to get together under one roof for the week (18 adults + 1 baby). Well equipped kitchen, no added extra costs (eg gas/electric) and plenty of room to be together (or apart when wanted)! Bar-b-que, garden and patio area used a lot as the weather was good. Games room also used daily by younger members (and occasionally the older ones). Dog enjoyed the environment also.
Overall a great family holiday. Thank you.

Our Weekend at the Old Rectory
Ellie's people   Sevenoaks.
Date Submitted: March 04, 2008   Date of Stay: February 2008
The Old Rectory at Tattingstone is an excellent choice for a get-together or celebration. The bedrooms are very comfortable, especially the very large ones. The dining room is large enough for 22 to sit together. The two sitting rooms are roomy with plenty of comfy chairs. The games room is also large and well equipped. The garden is big enough to play 'pitch & putt' or practice your golf or just have a B-B-Q. The house was very clean on arrival, plenty of china and glassware for a large gathering.
Within a few minutes from the house you are walking around the Reservoir, which is a pleasant easy walk. The owner was very helpful.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rectory and will return for another visit.
