17th-century inn with shepherds huts and wood-fired hot tubs on the A140 near Eye

Accommodations

The White Horse Inn offers 16 rooms in a separate annexe behind the main building, plus a selection of shepherds huts set around a pond. King Rooms include a Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom and a smart TV with Netflix access. Family Rooms provide two double beds and a bathroom with shower over bath, while the shepherds huts feature underfloor heating and a wood-fired hot tub.

Dining

The restaurant serves a menu with extensive vegetarian options, and guests can order small portions from the adult menu. Breakfast includes a cooked-to-order full English, buffet with croissants and cereal, plus fresh fruit and fruit juice. The bar offers a good selection of drinks including perfectly poured Guinness, and food is served all day in both the restaurant and bar.

Amenities

Free parking is available on site, and the hotel is wheelchair accessible with a room featuring a large walk-in wet room. CCTV cameras monitor both common areas and the exterior, and there are facilities for disabled guests throughout. The inn also offers air conditioning in rooms and non-smoking accommodation across all areas.

Location and Services

The inn sits directly on the A140, midway between Ipswich and Norwich, making it a convenient stop for travelers. Despite the main road location, guest rooms in the separate annexe are quiet and peaceful. The hotel provides a Friday Breakaway deal at £59 per person for dinner, bed and breakfast, and a dinner allowance is included in some packages.

Each shepherds hut is set by a pond with views of the countryside and comes with a wood-fired hot tub and fire pit. The hut includes underfloor heating, a wet room with powerful shower, and board games for entertainment. Breakfast is included and served in the main hotel, while guests can also order takeaway food from the restaurant.
