About this property

The hotel, dating back to 1450, is prominently situated in the center of Long Melford, boasting the longest high street in East Anglia. Long Melford offers a wealth of interesting gift and antique shops, featured in the 'Lovejoy' TV series, and two stately homes, Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall, known for its Tudor weekends. Nearby, explore splendid Suffolk wool towns like Lavenham and the popular Quay Theatre. Sudbury's bus and railway stations are just 4. 8 km away, while Stansted, Norwich International, and London Luton Airports are approximately 56 km, 97 km, and 140 km away, respectively. The hotel's original timber work, both inside and out, is remarkably well-preserved, with the exterior discovered in 1935 after the removal of a century-old brick façade. A 'Wildman' or 'Woodwose' carving, a medieval symbol believed to ward off evil spirits, adorns a beam in the lounge. Guests immediately sense the building's history upon entering the hall, dominated by massive molded oak beams. Once the town's principal posting house during the coaching era, accommodating travelers from London, Bury St Edmunds, and Norwich, today's guests can relax by the beautiful Elizabethan fireplace in the lounge and admire antique carvings in the Cordell Restaurant. The hotel offers 25 non-smoking guest rooms, a bar, internet access, and ample parking.

Breakfast was a real treat, with plenty to choose from. I had pancakes with Greek yoghurt and fruit, while my husband went for a full English. The lovely ladies serving us made it even better. We only stayed one night, but the room was spacious and spotlessly clean, and the twin beds were very comfortable. It's a beautiful old building, and we'd be glad to stay again.

The only downside was the weak internet in our room. Everything else was great: the staff were amazing and helpful, and the room was really comfortable. It felt well worth what we paid and still had the lovely old pub style. We had an amazing stay and will definitely come back.

We really liked the rooms, which were clean and very nice, and the food and drink were good too. There was a pleasant spot to sit and have a drink. The staff were friendly and helpful, and nothing seemed too much trouble. It was a lovely little find. If you're in the area, give it a try.

We ended up going to the Cock and Bell down the road, where we probably spent a lot less. We'd seen the menu and thought the pub restaurant looked just right, so we arrived at 6 pm on Saturday. Almost every table was reserved. We sat at one, but the waitress moved us along, saying it was reserved too, and put a reserved sign on it. The bar area was full but very quiet, and the whole thing left us feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. That didn't make up for how unwelcome we felt at your place.
