Initially we were given an unsuitable room for our needs but the staff were quick to change to an excellent room . The room was clean, airy, lovely view onto the spa and exceptionally quiet. All the facilities were of high standard and the staff were very amenable. I would definitely go back there and will recommend to my friends.
Sleek design is coupled with period charm at the Lavenham Great House in rural Suffolk. This 5-star hotel and restaurant provides stylish rooms with free Wi-Fi and a complimentary decanter of sherry.

Beautiful building, very convenient for Melford. Free parking. Perfectly comfortable but a bit tired and shabby in the decor

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.
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.
Private, quaint town. Relaxing. Great History. The Spa was nice and relaxing. Bar and lounge was nice and quaint with great history. Bar tender was great, and very knowledgeable. The morning breakfast was wonderful and very yummy. By us stop across the street. Nice town with good nearby restaurants.
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.
I would have no hesitation staying again or recommending the Rectory Manor hotel. It exceeded our expectations as a very friendly hotel with some lovely personal touches. The breakfast was excellent & very freshly prepared for us. Room and bed was really comfortable.
Very nice historic hotel with a nice pub/restaurant. Old but clean. Friendly service. Convenient free parking in the common arear in front of the hotel. Very good breakfast made to order and a good dinner menu of nicely prepared food dishes.
We loved this property and the village of Lavenham, the room was cozy and very clean, the food to die for ! I recomend you to eat here, and can’t thank enough y the hospitality of Dee, she and the rest of the staff were amaing.
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 .
Amazing little hotel. Staff very helpful and accommodating, room was quirky and great. Lots of little extras, bathrobes Nespresso coffee machine. Quality throughout. Breakfast was also very good.
Hotel is historic and full of charm. Food is varied and delicious. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner twice each. Comfortable beds, rooms had robes and spa toiletries. Spa was lovely.
