Bed and Breakfast Description

 

Ideally situated on the A140 close to the village of Eye in Suffolk and midway between Ipswich and Norwich, this delightful Coaching Inn dates back to the 17th Century and continues to offer the very best in hospitality to the weary traveller. With a past of over three centuries, The White Horse has had varied uses with a colourful and intriguing history. The Inn has had many uses, ranging from a Farm House, Coaching Inn and Public House to a Roadside Cafe! There have, of course been alterations and improvements to the Inn, but its beamed interior retains a warmly welcoming atmosphere. The fireplace in the downstairs restaurant seems to have been scarcely touched since its first owners used it, when it was probably the major source for heat, light and cooking.

In the grounds are spacious, comfortable motel bedrooms offering en suite facilities, FREE WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS, colour television with all freeview channels, Direct-dial telephone and hospitality tray. Enjoy a relaxing meal or drinks in either of our two bars. Families are more than welcome and our menus offer something for every taste. Our first floor restaurant is available for weddings, private functions, and business events and will accommodate up to 50 people.

 

Eye Attractions

 
The county of Suffolk is blessed with stunning coastline and beautiful English countryside. With seaside resorts, charming villages and bustling town centres, there are countless days out to suit all tastes.

Many stories surround the Inn and its varied ghostly past. One story which became a talking point for the press years ago is the story of a 'Happy Ghost'. Mr Symonds, the manager of the Inn at the time was told of a little blue plaque in one of the bedrooms and as long as it was left in place, the lady would behave herself - restricting her activities to opening the window when it had just been shut.

Being a sceptic he gave a cynical smile and forgot the tale...until, in the small hours of one night the sleepy manager made his way to the bathroom, only to see the warm ghostly figure of a lady standing in the hallway between him and his destination. When he returned she had gone.

It is not so warming though, to hear that the upstairs restaurant harbours the ghost of a man who committed suicide by jumping from one of the windows. There are tales of windows that open and shut by themselves and also tales of Napoleonic prisoners in uniform stomping around!
