Claire was such a wonderful host. Her home is so cosy, like a fairy cottage, and our little bedroom was so sweet. The bathroom and huge tub were amazing! It was a great location for access to Long Melford and Kentwell Hall, and we will definitely be coming back!

Everything you needed and more. The hosts Stacy and Mark were very informative and were at hand for anything we needed. What a wonderful place and set up they have it was like stepping back in time to “Little house on the prairie” only with mod cons. There were boats if ya fancied a row on the lake, there were bikes if ya fancied biking into the village, a kids play area, bbq facilities and much more. We would defiantly be back. The Christmas tree and chocolates left in our accommodation were a nice touch. The lodge itself was lovely warm and cosy, it kept its heat so i was happy 😊. Long Melford has plenty of pubs, tea rooms and shops. Also we went into Sudbury for the market and the Christmas tree Exhibition! Have a TRULY WONDERFUL weekend. Thank you Stacy and Mark.

We’ve just returned from the most incredible stay at Lakeview Lodges, and I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly by Mark and Stacy, the most thoughtful and accommodating hosts you could wish for. Their attention to detail, kindness, and genuine passion for making every guest feel special truly made our stay unforgettable. Traveling with four children can sometimes be a challenge, but not here – our kids were in absolute heaven! The facilities were spot on: safe, clean, and packed with things to keep them entertained for hours. But the real highlight for all of us was the stunning lake. The kids spent every spare moment by the water – exploring, fishing, paddle boarding, and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the surroundings. It felt like we’d found a hidden slice of paradise. The lodge itself was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for a family of six. Every little touch had been thought through, from cozy bedding to the layout that gave everyone their own space without feeling crowded. We honestly didn’t want to leave – and we’re already planning our return. A huge thank you again to Mark and Stacy for creating such a magical place, my little one hasn’t stopped talking about his new best friend ‘Mark’ SO sweet!

We've stayed in Long Melford on a number of occasions but being here on a crisp winter's evening with the Christmas lights and decorations was even more of a bonus. The church is flood-lit at night and looks magical. It is a historic town and a great base for visiting nearby Lavenham and Gainsborough's House (and gallery) in Sudbury. As well as The Bull, where we stayed, drank and ate, there are plenty of other places to eat and drink in Long Melford and it is extremely picturesque.

Busy village high street with a few nice pubs. Went to Sudbury to find a proper restaurant that wasn't just pub food. Thought Scutcher's was too pricey and Black Lion not enough on menu appealed. Nice walk up to the two halls on the Sunday morning.

Long Melford is a lovely Suffolk town.

Long Melford is a lovely Suffolk town. It is blessed with quite a few shops and eateries. Its in easy striking distance of Lavenham, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge. There is a good cluster of things to visit around - Long Melford Hall, Kentwell Hall are very close by. There are also a couple of Antique centres and lots of routes to walk around the area.

Long Melford is in a wonderful location and is ideally placed for touring the area of both Suffolk and parts of Essex. It is an interesting place to stroll around itself with its small independent shops, tearooms and hostelries . Places to visit include Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Southwold on the coast , Sudbury, Clare and Colchester or just casually drive around the area to visit lovely sleepy villages with thatch cottages in abundance.

Lovely village, with pretty houses. Lots of options for walking. The National Trust property of Melford Hall is a nice place to visit, as is the privately owned Kentwell Hall. Lots of places to eat as well as quirky little shops. We are in the Black Lion which was excellent.

The location is lovely and peaceful, it was about a 20 minute walk into Long Melford. We stayed in the Shepherds Hut which was a good size and nicely decorated. We didn’t use the kitchen facilities as we only stayed one night, but they would be good if you were staying longer. The bathrooms were nicer than others in similar places I’ve stayed. The hosts were welcoming.

Cosy, clean and comfortable with an incredible use of the main garden area! Bruce was so friendly and helpful but respected our privacy during our stay. We took our 6 month old puppy and he loved it. Not far from long Melford which has lovely pubs and restaurants but we had an Indian delivery and it was brilliant. Would definitely return in the future.
