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!

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.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Room was clean and airy with large "Goldilocks" bed, soft duvet, and choice of pillows all of which ensured a comfortable and blissful night's sleep. Our dog was made very welcome and given a big fuss (thanks Lindsay!). Food was superb - we highly recommend the dinner menu, and breakfast was excellent. Throw in the great location and you've got the perfect place to stay in Lavenham.
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.
Well maintained historic building with books and crannies to relax. Lots of sofa areas to sit and relax, drink and eat. Both formal and relaxed eating options. Spacious room, lovely products, comfy bed. Friendly staff.
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.
