Rectory manor is at the centre of a lovely traditional village. It is a beautiful building with great gardens. Our room and bathroom were very spacious. Tom, who looked after us, was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend a stay!

The breakfast was 1st class, with local produce and a wide range of choice. It is communal, on a single refectory table with other guests. Unusual but pleasant & good for social interaction. The location was good for visiting Lavenham, but is a bit off the beaten track for first approach on narrow roads. The building is a long-term family home, and family is still deeply involved in the running, care and maintenance of the property and extensive grounds to keep it so. The whole ethos is that of a HOME, with mementos from 4 generations on every wall and surface, in which one feels privileged to be a guest. Drinks, so rarely these days, are on a help yourself, `sign & trust' basis. A wonderful touch!

Food was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely location.

Very welcomeing. Lovely room. Quiet in a good location.

Fabulous setting, very clean and well situated!! Tom was as usual a fabulous host! We really love this hotel!

Lovely efficient staff, nothing to much trouble. Beautiful four poster room, wish I booked two nights or more, didn’t want to leave. Set in lovely grounds and the Manor had a festive family feel to it. Will definitely return.

Liam was a fantastic host new to the job but made us feel very welcome

Very well equipped. Excellent ambiance. Comfortable bed. Great shower. Good breakfast

Facilities and welcome were extremely good.well managed and organized.House felt homely and relaxing .very pet friendly

The Location is excellent and the Staff friendly and helpful, Did not have breakfast but it smelled amazing. Due to Covid we could not have any room bar drinks but hope that will change.
