The location of the hotel is perfect and within walking distance of everything in the village. If you want a luxury hotel this is not for you, but if you are looking for a basic, warm, clean central hotel with good service this is perfect.

Gorgeous location in a quiet Suffolk Village. The building was beautiful and ideally decorated. We didn't use the restaurant but the menu looked good (we were meeting friends elsewhere). Bar was well stocked and staff very helpful. We upgraded and had a beautiful and large room. Bathroom was a little less decadent than the rest of the hotel but clean enough. We used our own toiletries but good to see environmental impact was thought about. TV was odd and difficult to use - usual channels didn't seem available and if we tried Netflix or any of the other apps, none of them worked, so we turned it off and just had music playing on our phones. Comfy bed, and tea/coffee available, so all good. We loved it.
*worth mentioning that had we paid full price I would have felt it a little expensive, but I had a Booking.com credit and so actually it felt like a bargain.

Long Melford is definitely a place to stay and enjoy. We used it for a functional purpose as we were touring the area. National Trust property adjacent and a good gig street can occupy time just browsing.

Long Milford is long!
Long Milford is long! It’s a beautiful and striking place with a wonderful church and green at one end and a long engaging street which takes you to the other. Milford Hall sits near the church and is a National Trust site well worth a visit. Classic Suffolk architecture runs down the high street.

We have visited Long Melford before a few years ago.
We have visited Long Melford before a few years ago. It is a nice place to travel to. Some shops have closed but it is still interesting with its Pubs and Cafe's. Plenty of little villages and towns to explore while staying there. We were able to reach places of interest during that time.
Not far from us in Essex and Hertfordshire with lovely changes of scenery.
Very relaxing weekend.

It is as lovely old village, 3 miles long with some vey interesting period buildings. Our highlight was the Abbey Church at the top of the hill; one of the top 3 churches in England and Melford Hall, a gem of a NT property. We sent hours exploring the hall, listening to the guides and search out the references to Beatrix Potter who was a frequent visitor. We also chose to stay there because of its proximity to Lavenham, one of the prettiest villages in England, a MUST visit village. Long Melford has a great range of hotels , pubs and bars, you can choose to spend what you like. We eat in the Cock and Bull where we obtained two main meals for £14.00, excellent value, extensive range and served piping hot.

Long Melford is a lovely village with lots of interesting things to do and two big houses to visit. "Imagine" is an excellent gallery for pottery. The church is special and has unique brasses.
The lodge is very comfortable and has everything you need. It's very relaxing to sit in the garden and spend time watching the sunsets. Long Melford is a lovely town with lots to see and do in the area. Kayaking near Sudbury, cycling on the disused railway and plenty of walks. Would definitely recommend this accommodation. The complimentary breakfast items were much appreciated. Thank you.
Friendly staff and excellent meals although delivery problems curtailed some of the items on the menu. Breakfast was included and was comprehensive and enjoyable. Free parking at the rear was an added bonus which made life that much easier. There are a lot of cars parked up in Long Melford. Overall, a base for a good holiday in lovely West Suffolk.
Great, clean and very comfortable room. Good location, very near to local restaurants, pubs and cafes and a good base to explore Suffolk from. Paul was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast choices were spot on. We tried the fried breakfast, yummy boozy porridge and pancakes, all of which were very tasty and freshly made on order.
The room was in an annex at the rear of the property, so there was hardly any road noise. It was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The property is situated in the heart of Long Melford, a very attractive village with lots of independent shops and two large and excellent antique centres.
It was a beautiful property and provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay in long Melford during our visit with family. The yard is beautiful. The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of things to cook with. The beds are comfy. They provided a few games for the kids. It was a lovely stay.
It was a lovely, cozy, comfortable and well equipped cottage with everything we needed for a short romantic break. Good location, just a short leisurely walk from the centre of Long Melford where you find an ample supply of pubs, tea rooms, shops, antique emporiums, etc
The location and accommodation was lovely. It was peaceful.
Fresh milk in the fridge was great.
Also a short walk (just over a mile) to Long Melford for a decent curry at the Onion Bhaji.
If there were any issues Bruce was always on hand to help.

Beautiful location and surroundings, just a walk across the fields to pubs and cafes of Long Melford. Tastefully decorated. Friendly owner who greeted us upon arrival. Nice enclosed area outdoors where we had breakfast.
Food (both breakfast and evening meal) was very good and the menu imaginative. The staff were very pet-friendly and generally helpful – although perhaps a little out of practice after being furloughed for so long...
Clare was very welcoming and the cottage is very cosy. Breakfast was excellent.

Location. Friendly, atmospheric, clean, welcoming. The architecture inside and out. The olde world feel and look of the hotel. The wobbly stairs and creaking floors!
Great setting, lake was good for a paddle, close to Long Melford... Very peaceful.
Hosts were really welcoming, and thanks so much for your thoughts Stacy and Mark!
Beautifully appointed hotel in all respects, great dining/b'fast areas and room, fabulous that dogs were allowed wherever humans went including restautant
