I hired Pettistree House for my 40th birthday celebrations and was blown away by how perfect it is from the size to the decor to the attention to detail to ensure whoever stays there has everything they need. My guests were a mixed range of ages and everybody loved the house. It's set in several acres of land but we only made use of the immediate garden area where we played touch rugby in the afternoon. I had external caterers for a 3 course dinner in the evening which was superb. Mark Sholl (Suffolk Catering Company) is a delight to work with and the food was delicious. The party room is brilliant and has an excellent sound system. All-in-all the house is an amazing party venue and the owners are super-helpful with any questions you may have pre-hire and also once you've booked. I would not hesitate to recommend Pettistree House and would definitely hire it again for another celebration gathering.

We rented Pettistree House last weekend for my 30th Birthday, and had a fabulous time! The party room provided a fantastic space for us to celebrate with a dance and plenty of singing! The sound system, disco ball and lights were great! The table tennis table and pool table provided entertainment for the day time, not forgetting the trampoline. We had a mix of ages in the house and it catered for all very well. We had the Paella and Tapas company - details on Pettistree House website for dinner on Saturday in the formal dining room. Ruth was extremely helpful and the paella went down a treat! Pettistree provides the perfect party house, along with great open fires to put your feet up and have a rest as the party comes to a close! We hope to return and I would recommend it to anyone.

This is THE place for friends to get together. We hired Mr Mark Mower for an excellent Murder Mystery, a team of chefs came in Saturday night to prepare a wonderful meal for us all sat on a most wonderful long table. An experience at Pettistree house is a must for anybody who enjoys a good time.

My wife booked Pettistree House for my 50th birthday party. This was an adults only, weekend-long bash (30 people in all). We were met on arrival by Peter, the owner, who showed us round with charm and good humour. The house is amazing, very well equipped and appointed. Particularly important for us and our party was a good music system, plenty of fridge space to keep the flow of cold drinks coming, a good layout of the house for a party (lots of different rooms, all beautifully decorated with lots of different places to sit, chat,, drink, etc.), somewhere to dance (the "ballroom"), a big dining room for a formal dinner, and a kitchen big enough for us all to gather for less formal moments. Pettistree ticked all these boxes with style! The bedrooms vary a great deal in size - we drew lots for the biggest and the best - but are all very nicely decorated and furnished. We had caterers in to prepare and serve the formal dinner - and the owner had no problem with that - but prepared all other meals ourselves, and the kitchen is very capable of feeding 30 adults. There are lovely grounds, too, and a very good pub (The Greyhound) 15 - 20 minutes walk away, for when we needed to stretch our legs. All in all a great venue for what we wanted.

A lovely house with excellent bedrooms and comprehensive facilities. The grounds are extensive and the neighbourhood offers interesting walks. The village pub is worth a visit not least for the first class food on offer. The outside caterers listed by the owners were also friendly and they provided wonderful food. Overall, the stay was a great success enjoyed by all the family. Our hosts Peter and Luisa have a great property and their efficiency in making the booking was most appreciated.

A great location to spend the weekend to celebrate our wedding, us and 24 guests, we all loved the house and its amenities, a warm welcoming house with comfortable beds, great bathrooms and lovely family rooms to all get together

A surprise party was booked at the house for extended family and close friends (31 in total) and it was amazing. Wonderful comfortable bedrooms and well spec-ed bathrooms; down stairs there was a large kitchen with 3 dishwashers (running 24/7!); hall with roaring fire, library- again with roaring fire, dining room for magnificent dinner and the party room for dancing until 5am. A great venue; a fantastic time was had by all - would highly recommed

We hired Pettistree to celebrate my 50th and the house was perfect, the kitchen facilities are second to none and work so well for a large group, the bedrooms were lovely and the bathrooms certainly have the wow factor. The party room with its lights and sound system certainly made the Saturday night and the pool and table tennis were put to great use. All in all cannot fault Pettistree and would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a great place for a large friend or family group get together

Impressive house fitted to a high standard with plenty of things to do for a long weekend. We had a bunch of young teenagers who loved staying in the lodge together leaving the main house to the adults! Games room and party room a big hit.

We were a large extended family and friends group staying at the house before and after a wedding in the area. We were greeted by the friendly owner Peter, who showed us around the beautiful house. Each and every room is decorated to a very high quality, and each with their own character. We loved the coach house's patriotic British soft furnishings! The gardens were beautiful, complete with outside toys and trampoline for kids. The games rooms with table tennis table and pool table saw a lot of use. The kitchen was complete with everything we needed, including for a chef friend of ours to cater a 6 course tasting menu for 25 people in the perfectly sized dining room. There are three dishwashers!! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, we would absolutely definitely come again with a large group.
