The property was very clean and packed with old English charm and character. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. There was ample car parking on Site. The food was delicious, with plenty to choose from. The portions were sufficient but not large and the price was on the high side.

Lavenham is one of the most delightful and beautifully preserved towns in Suffolk.
Quintessentially English and with fabulous local craft shops and Tea shops.
The hospitality of the shop keepers was excellent.
The guided tours and visit to St Peter's and St.Paul's Church was very interesting.
Long Melford is just 4 miles away and there you can visit Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall.
Lavenham is a place I will return to.

Some exquisite buildings, many beautifully preserved and one (the Guildhall) in the care of National Trust. A good selection of independent shops and places to eat ranged from good pub grub to fine dining.
Good also as a centre for visiting other Suffolk landmarks - don't miss Kersey or Finchingfield for unspoiled picturesque villages.

Lovely, ancient town with a good range of shops and amenities etc. The hotel provided a town map, which was really useful and informative. I imagine that it is really busy in summer months, but in March, it was not, so easy to park (free!) and walk around etc......highly recommended location in Suffolk and with a Harry Potter house, used in one of the films!

Lovely olde worlde village which is easy to get around. Shame it was muddy for the 2 village walks each 2 1/2 miles and 5 mile routes.
Plenty of pub/restaurants, free parking and local shops.

Lavenham as a town was beautiful, we loved the sense of History, but the house was very cold. We walked through the town in the evening, the Christmas lights and buildings were magical. We had tea in a small cafe opposite the Guildhall which was perfect. We had our evening meal at the Swan. We were the first guests and were privileged to be treated as though we were royalty. It was a magical experience in a truly wonderful setting. We went into an antique shop that was full of interesting items.
If I were to return, I would stay in a hotel like The Swan where my experience could be more predictable, rather than a self-catering holiday home.
The room was very comfy but above all the staff were so genuinely friendly and helpful. The ambiance of the hotel was warm and cosy and the hotel was situated in the centre of town and easy to walk to all the sites. I asked for a room on the ground floor as my husband has mobility problems and my request was granted. Thank you.
Private, quaint town. Relaxing. Great History. The Spa was nice and relaxing. Bar and lounge was nice and quaint with great history. Bar tender was great, and very knowledgeable. The morning breakfast was wonderful and very yummy. By us stop across the street. Nice town with good nearby restaurants.
Excellent location, helpful staff, nice atmosphere in the pub, lovely room given the age of the property, comfortable bed, lovely view of the square. Reasonably priced for a location in the heart of Lavenham where we could walk to everything. Breakfast was also very nice and good value.
Penny Black Cottage is wonderful. Well equipped, cosy and comfortable. Unique decor and art work. Parking is on street but never an issue.
Great location in Lavenham and for exploring the local areas.
We were visiting for a funeral but would like to return for happier times.
Good location - on a street of modern houses but the Market Place is literally a stone’s through away. Very clean and just what we needed for an overnight stop for 5 people. On site parking which is very good to have in popular Lavenham. Nice and warm for our arrival.
I loved the hotel and grounds as it was so peaceful although it was just a bit far out of Lavenham for us. The owner, Frank was charming and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Breakfasts were delicious!
Location brilliant. Surrounding architecture unrivalled, England at it’s best! Size and comfort of room excellent, breakfast really good, not the usual, but a fusion of English and continental.staff helpful .
Amazing little hotel. Staff very helpful and accommodating, room was quirky and great. Lots of little extras, bathrobes Nespresso coffee machine. Quality throughout. Breakfast was also very good.
This is a proper old hotel. Tudor framed wonky floors and exposed beams add to the charm. Good bar and good food. The staff could not be more welcoming.
