Tuddenham Mill Luxury Boutique Hotel, Nr Newmarket, Suffolk

This converted and refurbished watermill offers chic, elegant and stylish accommodation in an idyllic 12-acre countryside setting near Newmarket and Cambridge.

With its exposed beams and water wheel, Tuddenham Mill offers a unique environment with an air of sophisticated comfort and luxury. The modern rooms have over-sized beds, Bose sound systems, flat-screen TVs, walk-in showers and Jo Malone toiletries.

In the restaurant, contemporary menus offer fresh food and local produce. Enjoy a light snack by the mill pond or a traditional Sunday lunch with a twist. Service is discrete yet attentive and friendly.

Like the Mill itself, the area around is a unique and vibrant mix of the historic and the contemporary, the natural and the cultural.

Visit nearby Newmarket, the world-famous ‘home of racing’, and find yourself caught up in the heady atmosphere of race day. Experience a different pace of life in the traditional market town of Bury St Edmunds or the fine city of Ely with its stunning cathedral. Sample local wines in the vineyards of Sascombe and Wyken. Explore our distant archaeological past at Grimes Graves or West Stowe Anglo-Saxon village, go quad-biking or clay shooting at Wildtracks – just a few minutes drive away, or head into the historic university city of Cambridge, where great shopping, entertainment and international festivals are tempered by breathtaking architecture and the green serenity of the Backs.

If you simply want to lose yourself, Tuddenham Mill is the perfect location. Head off into the vast rural acres of the Brecklands and Thetford Forest, or sample the unique stillness of the Fens, with their waterways, rich wildlife and idyllic views. And of course the beautiful coastal regions and picturesque towns of Suffolk and Norfolk are all within easy reach. Tuddenham is easily accessible from the A14 and A11.

Get away from it all and stay in ultimate comfort. The 15 rooms are unashamedly designed to tempt you, from the over-sized beds right down to those all-important little details. Three of the rooms are located in the main mill building.
