Set in the wilds of the Suffolk coast, between Rendlesham Forest and the sea, this fairytale 14th century monastery has been beautifully converted to offer luxurious accommodation. With its striking Gothic exterior, Butley Priory has been carefully restored and sensitively renovated to offer beautiful accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis. There are 6 double rooms, all of which have their own private bathroom and 3 of which have their own working log fireplaces. Despite the priory's antiquity, 21st century comfort is assured in the bedrooms, which include such luxuries as linen sheets and goose down-duvets. A seating area, morning tea tray, TV and hi-fi system are provided in all of the main bedrooms. Set in 7 acres of private woodland, in the beautiful, peaceful surroundings of the Suffolk countryside, Butley Priory is a wonderful base for a romantic getaway or a restful, relaxing, restorative break
Breakfasting in the Great Hall at Butley is a truly breathtaking experience. Make sure you are hungry. Linger on the terrace in summer or by the roaring log fire on cold days, with coffee and newspapers. Originally the carriageway through the gatehouse to the priory, the Great Hall was converted into a magnificent room with soaring stone vaulted ceilings and a huge stone fireplace in the 17th century. The height of the arches and the big French doors opening out onto the terrace give this room a wonderfully light and spacious feel. There are 2 golf courses and a health spa with a pool, sauna and steam room within a 10-minute drive. Arrangements can be made on guests' behalf on request. Unfortunately, as it is an ancient and historic building, the priory does not have a lift
