Stay
South Elmham Hall is a beautiful Grade I listed farmhouse and former medieval palace. It’s just a gentle walk down the garden path away from Bateman’s Barn and from 'Grace', our amazing little licensed garden wedding space. And it’s the very real and mellow place we call home.
Why not be our guests? We’d like to invite you and your wedding party to come and stay.
For one night only... Stays in South Elmham Hall are limited to 1 night only (Wednesday or Saturday night).
Accommodation at South Elmham Hall
We’ve dedicated part of our home to share as a convenient and relaxing bed and breakfast.
There are five simply elegant double en-suite rooms. Together, they make up the whole of the first floor and are exclusively available for your wedding party.
Each room is individually decorated, furnished with family pieces and has lovely views of the grounds and private gardens. Part of the palace’s original Great Hall, many of the bedrooms have ancient beams, beautiful stone fireplaces or archways and even medieval wall-paintings (including in the bathroom!) . The two largest guest rooms also has a four-poster bed, making them a firm favourite as the honeymoon suite.
"Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home to stay after our wedding day - lovely being able to get away and freshen up ready for evening… and the breakfast was amazing”

Staying at South Elmham Hall is totally up to you. Our offer is there for your comfort and convenience and comes without any obligation.
Our approach is always relaxed and informal, maybe even a little different from other places as we like to see guests being at home in their rooms here, just as our family would when they come and stay.
Reservations
All our rooms are the same price, offered on a B&B basis and based on two people sharing. See our guest accommodation price list here »
Simple continental style breakfast is served across in the barn on Sunday morning (not to early!) and then you have time to check out and pick up any belongings from the venue.
You are most welcome to reserve all five of the bedrooms at South Elmham Hall when you book the barn for your wedding celebrations and then allocate them to your close friends and family. Alternatively, your guests can book them individually with us.
Rooms are available for the night of the wedding only. Full English breakfast is available to order in advance (£28.00pp).
Need to know - Staying at South Elmham Hall
There’s no getting away from it - South Elmham Hall is a scheduled ancient monument. Its history is its essence, but that sometimes manifests itself in rather quirky and - by modern standards – inconvenient ways.
It’s important to note that all our guest rooms are reached by steep, high stairs. Needless to say, we have no lift (sorry). Some flooring is uneven in places and what’s more, the fabric of the time-honoured building and especially some of its unique elements like the early wall-paintings can be fragile.
We respectfully ask you to bear these factors in mind at the time of making reservations. We also regret that for these reasons, we do not feel able to welcome children or pets.
Additional local places to stay
We are also always pleased to share a list of local accommodation providers to support you and your guests with a range of choices. Lovely farmhouses you can rent for a few days within easy reach so you can get ready nearby plus everything from campsites to hotels.
Time for a second wedding breakfast perhaps?
Simple continental style breakfast - Bacon rolls, Danish pastries, Fruit Juice plus tea and coffee - on the morning following your wedding & is included for the house guests and is served in the barn at a time to suit you. Feel free to potter across in your dressing gown even – you’ll still be the only people on your South Elmham island!
Full English farmhouse breakfast and more besides - our own eggs, home-grown tomato, local bacon, sausage, saute potatoes and mushrooms (veggie and vegan options); plus toast, fruit juice, tea and coffee. And if you still have room after all that, there’ll be selection of danish pastries - £28.00pp available on request when ordered in advance.
And to make a complete morning of it, what could be better than a leisurely walk together through the farm’s ancient landscapes to see the magical ruins of South Elmham Minster?
