Great heritage property in a lovely quaint medieval town. The staff were wonderful and friendly, they helped us carry our bags up to the room, and the free breakfast was outstanding.

Beautiful cottage in the heart of Lavenham. I rented this cottage for my parents over the Christmas period and they loved it. Very comfortable, beautifully designed and well thought out in terms of the layout. Small touches like a breakfast bowl filled with cereal, coffee and little chocolates which was very thoughtful. Gorgeous little garden out the back. The bathrooms were both so modern and the added touch of having the bathtub in the bedroom was a lovely treat. Would definitely book this place again! Thanks Heather

An old-world pub in a pretty Suffolk village. Wooden beams and brick fireplace with an open fire crackling in the hearth. Friendly and helpful staff, a first-rate breakfast and cordon bleu dining. A comfortable bed, and a modern en-suite bathroom, all spotlessly clean. Overall, country inn hospitality at its best

I had the pleasure of being the very first guest coming from booking. The very nice owner didn't expect it to happen so quickly, as it was only online on Thursday and three days later on Sunday this guy (me) from Germany arrives. The hotel is part of a pub – which is closed on Sunday – which was the reason for the surprise :-) After I was shown my room, I learned from her that she had only just moved her Painters' café to this pub. The room was clean (and large), shower and heating worked great and I had this special honor of getting to know the owner. I wish all the best for this little hotel which is only 250 yards from the town center.

Lavenham, exceptionally beautiful; both historically and architecturally very impressive. If late mediaeval and Tudor buildings appeal to you, Lavenham is the perfect place to stay . The Guildhall, owned and preserved by the National Trust is a must for a visit as is listening to the guide Tom. Tom has a forensic knowledge and great love for the building and its history, he also has a great sense of humour and he makes a visit to the Guildhall alive with fascinating detail. We enjoyed a fabulous stay at The Swan and will return there. Our only mistake was a visit to the Memsahib Restaurant on a Sunday evening; charming people but exceptionally greasy and tasteless food. The Swan has an excellent Spa which may well appeal to all ages and there are many independent shops to browse. There are also great walks to be enjoyed nearby and wealth of history to uncover.

The local shops and tea rooms were lovely and all within walking distance of the hotel, perfect location for us. The Greyhound served tapas which was very nice, we didn't go out in the garden but I think there is a seating area outside. The Swan is lovely, you can go to for a drink or a meal, there is a lovely garden too. There are several small independent shops with interesting and varied products. The Curiosity Corner shop is worth a visit and the Antique shop is quite big with lots of interesting items, again worth a visit. We found most of the shops interesting. The Market Square is very quaint and lovely to just sit and be with a cuppa!

Appreciate weather was exceptionally hot but staff not that attentive and difficult to find around the hotel. Lots of stairs to rooms so any mobility issues are not easy No offer of help with luggage The charge for dogs excessive Food was good but couldn’t eat on second night due to issue with kitchen , shame because we intended to eat each night. One staff member very rude at breakfast and refused to serve us because of the dogs. We checked out one day early and still charged for dogs for that third day. Could have at least not charged that amount as gesture of goodwill. In light of experience we have cancelled our stay in December.

Our accommodation was a main road, but a fairly quiet one, with free unrestricted parking. We managed to park outside the property each night. Suffolk is a beautiful county with very nice countryside and interesting villages. The cathedral at Bury St Edmonds was worth a visit.

For us it was a trip into English history.

For us it was a trip into English history. The town is kept incredibly well in its original medieval form and it has charming relaxing and warm atmosphere. They're lovely little shop where you can find some unique items, and the little cafés are lovely. Christmas and New year is particularly good time for visiting as all beautiful decorations and lights are on display.

The hotel building and many of the staff were outstanding. It is a beautiful place but spoiled by very poor servers in the restaurant. Dirty breakfast dishes uncollected and then rude comments to our table about moving them! We were treating our two guests for a special birthday and we felt they were unimpressed whilst being aware they should take it all on the chin.. The final straw was being written to by the hotel to give a review and it to be sent to my email but addressed to one of our guests. 6
