Beautiful building, very convenient for Melford. Free parking. Perfectly comfortable but a bit tired and shabby in the decor

Booked a room with our little dog between xmas and new year, Immediately greeted by very friendly manager who spotted our faces fall when told there was "some trouble with the heating in the room you've booked".... "but don't worry" he said "we've upgraded you to the suite"...PERFECT! And what a lovely suite it was, very quaint, copper bath in the bedroom, large modern shower room, and a separate sitting room, delightful. Had a lovely meal in part of the restaurant where dog was allowed to join us and spent rest of evening in the friendly bar, altogether a lovely experience.

Well-made wooden lodges with excellent showers and good cooking facilities (sharp knives). The Witch's hut barbecue was a huge hit with the children. The host, Mark, took time to make sure we were settled in and ready. There is lots of space for play, a croquet set, football field and some bikes for loan.

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.
All the staff were lovely. Being an old building I didn’t expect the room to be as big as it was. I have fibromyalgia so had to ask for an extra quilt, so I could lay on one and put the other over me, it was provided immediately. The meals were superb and so much nicer as I didn’t have to cook them myself. The hotel car park wasn’t very big but we normally managed to find a space on the road and parking was free which is rare these days.
This was a lovely place that had all sorts of comforts- a nice terrace outside, basic cooking facilities, including a fridge and microwave, makings for a good breakfast, and a good location within walking distance of the center of Long Melford. It is effectively a room- so not to make out that it is a self-catering property, but basic picnic meals could be prepared and eaten on the terrace. And, it was a reasonable price!
Lovely breakfast, comfortable bed and room, great bath, and a lovely garden. Claire and her 3-legged cat are excellent hosts, and we really felt at home here.
The cottage is in a quiet, one-way lane, so the loudest external noise is the dawn chorus. It's a short walk from Long Melford's shops, restaurants, and pubs, and a very short drive from Kentwell Hall, where we were participating in an event.
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.
The view from room 2 at the Black Lion looking down over the village green towards Melford Hall (National Trust) is one of the best we have seen from any hotel. England at its finest.
The food at the Black Lion is simply amazing and it is accompanied by a fine selection of wines and beers.
Service is great and the staff are very friendly.
The hotel was really nice the staff were exclellent. The whole exprience was made very comfotable for us all the staff very helpful & friendly. The room was very clean. The breakfast & evening meal very good plenty of choice. A really relaxing stay we would reccomend this hotel as we would defiantly return for another stay.
A beautiful stay at a fabulous property. Sadly we were only there for one night! The facilities were really thought out with chilled water, tea and coffee and luxurious shower gels etc. We were big fans of the bath! The breakfast was great and it’s a perfect location to explore Long Melford and it’s surrounding areas.
First and foremost Joanna was a lovely host who was very accommodating and easy to contact. The property was in a peaceful location with Long Melford high street on your doorstep. It was very well equipped and Joanna added some lovely little touches with a welcome pack. Would definitely recommend.
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.
Room was luxury. Wood burner a bonus. Breakfast was a good choice and excellent. Recommend pancakes.Paul and Clare excellent hosts. Lot's of information on the Mill and Long Melford. Can't wait to go back sometime in 2023. We highly recommend The Mill.
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.
Comfortable, large, clean room with garden view close to everything in Long Melford. Eccles cakes on arrival. Well appointed, modern bath and shower. Substantial breakfast. Congenial host.
Beautifully appointed hotel in all respects, great dining/b'fast areas and room, fabulous that dogs were allowed wherever humans went including restautant
