Celebrate:
There are 4 main reception rooms downstairs which work seamlessly with the courtyard to provide a real sense of space day or night.
Each room can accommodate all guests when you all want to be together but part of the joy of sharing a house like this is wandering around and discovering groups of people using the rooms differently as the mood takes them. So there may be dancing in the dining hall, pool in the games room, a group chatting by the fountain warmed by the chiminea, another group captivated by the fire in the living room whilst someone offers to get more drinks from the kitchen!
For 2006, The Old Neptune will comfortably sleep 24 adults in 12 double bedrooms. The house is a paradise for children with its spaciousness and hiding places and offers total privacy and security and they can either have their own rooms as part of the 24 or some rooms also have an extra bed so they can share with Mum and Dad (or Grandparents if you’re lucky)
Relax:
The Old Neptune feels very much like a country house but is actually in the centre of a town, which offers the best of both worlds. Once inside you feel like you have escaped modern life and been transported to a different age with total privacy and luxury and many guests never actually leave (during their stay obviously). However step outside the door, and you have The Marina, a wonderful place to stroll around or stop for a drink and something to eat. Yacht charter is easily arranged and can be designed to accommodate all groups and skill levels, spending the day navigating The Orwell and The Stour. The paved walkways and historic architecture of the town centre are within easy walking distance with supermarkets, shops, restaurants and take-aways and places to keep the kids entertained.
Catering can be done yourself in the well-equipped kitchen, outside caterers can be arranged or if you prefer, there are several excellent cafes and restaurants on the doorstep.
Enjoy:
Experience the pleasure of sharing a big historic house with friends and/or family and make your celebration a special memory. The house truly comes alive with big groups of people and has hosted some memorable occasions in its 500+ years.
To celebrate or relax and always to enjoy, The Old Neptune offers you your very own fantasy venue.
