Very classy and relaxing. Great place to go if you are looking for a quiet tea or meal with friends. The atmosphere is perfect for holding great conversations because the staff is attentive but are quiet and do not interrupt. There are only a handful of tables and each table is given a good amount of room so you will... More

Visited Suffolk House again for the second time. Absolutely no argument about the grandeur of this mansion. Our only gripe is that from the entrance driveway the mansion seemed to be facing the creek and that the entrance should have been from the creek side. That view of this newly restored mansion would surely be more magnificent. Well in any... More

The environment and architecture is really great. The house is built at the middle of green. The interior design of the restaurant remains with the classical... More

Had a guided tour around Suffolk House. The guide was very informative and made the history of the house interesting, telling us who had occupied the house and how the renovations developed. There were info leaflets and a small shop with reasonably priced souvenirs. I would recommend using the house tour guide otherwise it might be a bit boring walking... More
