Everything about The Great House is superb from the room, bathroom, fittings, little extras. Food is of the highest standard, Dinner 5*! Most of all, the staff is highly professional but also warm, friendly and attentive. One of the best places I have stayed.

The Great House in Lavenham is a wonderful restaurant with a number of very special comfortable rooms. I highly recommend the well thought-out beautifully presented gourmet food. A holiday to be savoured and not easily forgotten.
