Built in 1450 the Bull Hotel is a timber house in the charming East Anglian village of Long Melford. The former Coaching Inn offers en suite rooms and fine food.

The Cordell and Kentwell restaurants serve traditional English cuisine and have a fine wine list to accompany the menu. Relax after dinner in an armchair by one of the Elizabethan fireplaces.

It's not every day you get to stay in a building from the 1300s! I love old, historic properties like this, and Bull Hotel was no exception. The hotel is very charming and offers comfortable beds in spectacular surroundings. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was nothing short of amazing. I also had dinner there and the food was great! The location is very good for exploring Long Melford and nearby towns such as Sudbury, Bury St. Emunds and Lavenham by car or local bus. Great hiking possibilities, and close proximity to Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall. I'd definitely stay here again if I return to the area.

Welcome to our 15th Century inn where our modern twist on the traditional creates a wonderful setting to enjoy our food, sample our local ales, explore our wine list and rest a weary head.

When it is time to hit the hay enjoy a restful night’s sleep in one of our ten individually styled bedrooms. Our bedrooms consist of cosy snugs, luxury rooms, a luxury suite and a family room with modern interior styling that is sympathetic to our Georgian building. Amenities in our bedrooms include flat screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, superfast WIFI and Bramley products.

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.

In the peaceful village of Gestingthorpe on the border of Essex and Suffolk is The Pheasant pub. The pub’s Coach House offers boutique accommodation in a rural location just 15 minutes’ drive from Sudbury.

Nicely located in a small village, good food and friendly staff. Very clean rooms. Evening menu helped greatly as we had been travelling all day and reasonably priced with good value for money.

    Loved the quirky house. The welcome with a glass of home made wine was great. This guest house is different to a modern hotel, the age makes it really interesting. The host, Terry, was lovely & very knowledgeable about the area. We didnt have cooked breakfast though offered, but lots of choice of cereals, juice etc. Great stay, highly recommend.

    Terry was an absolute star! Him and his wife made the most delicious breakfast. The guest house is very qaunt with wonderful decor. Extremely clean and cosy and very, very warm! Nothing was too much bother and Terry even gave us a lift into Lavenham. We would definitely make a return visit. Great value for money and I have two of the best nights sleep!

    This is a quaint B&B, the house is very rustic which is lovely, the parking was suitable for my vehicle with a little co-ordination between the guests, my room was welcoming. The welcome I had from the owners was a little chaotic but they were very pleasant.

    Great tranquil location, breakfast and dinner were great, need to have patience at breakfast if you arrive at the peak moment as the buffet is topped up but that is to be expected, friendly and welcoming staff, will definitely return.
