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!
United KingdomThe 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!
United KingdomFood was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely location.
United KingdomVery welcomeing. Lovely room. Quiet in a good location.

United KingdomTom. The sitting room with Vino and spirits to help relax after a journey. An honesty box to pay for tipple very trusting and makes one feel appreciated. Honey the Labrador very sweet.

Lovely feel of a home, family photographs trappings of history and personal items make it really really homely. Breakfast fab.
