Kings Head Low House - A 16th-century thatched pub with a historic taproom, garden, and three double rooms
A rare gem of a pub dating back to 1547, Kings Head Low House features a historic taproom serving beer directly from casks, with interiors largely unchanged since the 19th century. The property includes three double rooms in the Old Stables block, each with Egyptian cotton bed linen, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs. Room 3 offers a king-size bed and a large bathroom with a bath and shower. The pub's garden, once a village bowling green, includes an old bowls pavilion for use in cooler weather. Guests can enjoy themed dinner menus on Saturday evenings and locally brewed ales from Earl Soham and Green Jack Brewery. The nearest airport is Norwich International, 65 km away.
Pros
The historic taproom serves beer straight from casks, preserving traditional pub ambiance.
Rooms feature Egyptian cotton bed linen and well-appointed amenities, including tea and coffee facilities.
The large garden includes an old bowls pavilion for shelter in damp weather.
Themed dinner menus on Saturday evenings offer varied dining options.
Dog-friendly policy allows pets both indoors and outdoors.
Cons
The pub's historic layout may lack modern accessibility features.
“The Kings Head Low House in Laxfield strikes me as a particularly inviting village pub, centered around a comfortable stay. Bedrooms are well-appointed, offering those thoughtful extras, while the dining earns consistent praise, especially for breakfast and its gluten-free options. I think it would be a reliably welcoming base for exploring the Suffolk countryside.”
