This modern country inn was rescued just under a decade ago by local city boy Philip Turner, who couldn't bear to see his ailing local go under. Thank goodness he did. Not only is The Packhorse Inn back on its feet again as a properly up-to-date country inn with food and rooms, it was the first of his Chestnut pubs venture, which has since grown to encompass a number of great pubs in the region, including the Three Blackbirds across the border in Cambridgeshire. It's also handy for those interested in the horseracing at nearby Newmarket – a place not overly well endowed with good places to stay.
The Packhorse has eight very comfortable rooms, half in the main building and half in the purpose-built ‘Coach House’ across the courtyard. Those above the pub (named after local hills) are slightly larger, with super-king-size beds and big, luxurious freestanding baths and walk-in showers, while those outside (named after local rivers) are slightly more functional with just showers, but are still very comfy and well equipped, though only two have super-king-size beds. All the rooms have tea- and coffee-making facilities, complimentary water, homemade biscuits, Freeview TVs and decent wifi. Dogs are welcome in the Courtyard rooms and are provided with their own bowl, blanket and treats.

For those who have time to stay a while, our eight individually designed bedrooms deliver a restful nights sleep, even for four legged friends who are most welcome to stay.Nearby
The Packhorse Inn takes pride of place at the heart of Moulton next to the village green. Moulton is home to a vibrant local community who stage Christmas pantomimes at the village hall every year, a bustling village shop and our namesake, the 15th century medieval Packhorse Bridge.
For guests wanting to immerse themselves in the stunning Suffolk countryside we highly recommend The Three Churches walk. The walk takes you through Moulton, Dalham and Gazeley, passing by each of the village churches along part of Icknield Way, thought to be one of the oldest roads in Britain. This walk leads you through fields, woodland, country roads and by the River Kennett.
