NESTLED on the Suffolk border, with views over to Long Melford and Sudbury, the Pheasant pub has opened a brand new hotel, inspired by historical local icons. The pub’s Coach House opened its doors on the 19th July, and has already welcomed guests from as far as Southern California in America.

The five beautifully finished rooms were each inspired by a different historic figure. The luxurious damask curtains and the wool tapestry on the wall behind the bed in one room, reflect the well known artist, Thomas Gainsborough. The Mark Catesby room enjoys a garden view, in honour of the botanist, who lived in Sudbury, made famous by his illustrations of plants and animals. The colours and fabrics of this room exemplify Catesby’s passion for flora and fauna.

As you climb the staircase to the first floor of the Coach House, it’s hard to ignore the picturesque Suffolk countryside as it surrounds the pub on all sides. The name Samuel Courtauld was made famous as the family owned a number of Silk Mills in the region, mostly known for creating Crepe and Rayon. The fabric above the room’s king-size headboard is crushed velvet in purple, a shade championed by Courtauld himself.

If guests are in the mood for a little splash

of luxury, the Captain Lawrence Oates room boasts a relaxing jacuzzi. The room’s namesake was made famous when he joined the Polar expedition in 1910, on the Terra Nova Ship with Captain Scott. The Pheasant’s largest room is decorated with light blues and greys, with matching tartan, paying homage to the time Oates spent as a Royal Dragoon.

A hotel on the Suffolk border, with rooms inspired by regional heroes, simply wouldn’t be complete without a room dedicated to John Constable. Famous for the Haywain painting, Willie Lotts Cottage and Flatford Mill, the Constable room is a romantic one, with the beautiful landscape at its essence. Five large windows look out over the rolling countryside.

Diana and James Donoghue are delighted with the finished result of all of their hard work, and have had more good news to celebrate in the last week as well. The Pheasant pub has been named as a finalist of the Essex Life Food and Drink Awards for the Best Gastro Pub in the region. And if that wasn’t enough, the couple have also scooped the title of Best Food Pub in East Anglia in The Great British Pub Awards.

To learn more about The Pheasant, or to check the availability of the rooms above, call 01787 461196, or visit www.thepheasant.net.

The copy deadline date for the next issue of Events

(January, February & March) is 1st November.

Pet advice

AT THIS TIME of year a number of animals and their owners with small ‘lumps’ which have appeared. When examined these are actually Ticks. They are found in a variety of habitats from woodland and moorland to parks and gardens. They are between 2-5mm in size with eight legs and are grey/brown in colour. They attach to anywhere on the body but usually prefer where the hair coat is thin, and using their mouthparts suck a blood meal from the host over the 2-3 days.

The animal carrying the tick is usually quite irritated around the area where the tick is located and it can cause infection or set up an abscess. However ticks can also be important carriers of some infectious diseases that can also affect humans as well as animals.

If ticks are found then they can be removed with forceps or special tick removers but care must be taken to ensure all the mouthparts are removed with the tick as this can lead to further complications. Alternative methods are to use Frontline flea treatment, which is active against ticks, or smear the tick with Vaseline liberally. Both should result in the tick dying and dropping off within twenty-four hours.
