The room was clean and bed quite comfortable. It was in a good location and plenty of places around to have dinner if you so decided. The staff I did meet were friendly enough.

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 a lovely size, gorgeous beams and the BEST shower I have had in England ever. The room was cleaned to a very high standard every day and was airy. We had a view over the town square which I loved. The room was situated above the terrace which I did not mind because everybody adhered to the quiet after closing policy. We did not eat at our hotel because we spend all days exploring the area and surrounding villages.
Lovely comfortable and homely accommodation in a quiet location just a few minutes walk from the center of Lavenham. 3 storey house which the children thought was really fun.
Very well equipped and the football table in the garage was a huge hit with the children as well as the dads! Plenty of on street parking available when we were there. We had 2 cars between us and managed to park both directly outside the property.
In the heart of Lavenham this gem of a hotel makes for a lovely short break. We stayed 3 nights and had a freshly cooked breakfast each morning which was exceptional. The staff were extremely helpful and polite.
All the safety measures were well adhered to by staff and guests alike. The hotel was spotless.
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.
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 .
Beautiful setting and lovely old hotel. Some delightful touches, such as the honesty bar. The highlight was Hazel, the labrador, who is the most lovable dog.
