"Exceptional on every level!"

10.0

Exceptional on every level! Warmly welcomed and shown into our beautifully decorated cosy and very comfortable room, which felt like a warm hug after the family funeral we had just been attending. Lovely selection of pod coffees for the in room coffee machine. Also a kettle and selection of teas if that's your want. Fridge filled with complimentary drinks. It was also no bother being provided with some oat milk for our coffees. Slippers and bath robes. Gorgeous toiletries in the adjacent ensuite. To top it off the breakfasts were outstanding. We decided to stay an extra night and the room we were in wasn't available but Onur gave us a fantastic deal on another characterful, comfortable and very luxurious room. Much larger, equally lovely and well appointed. We can't wait to return under happier circumstances. Thank you so much Onur and team for taking such exceptional care of us!!!

"Very enjoyable three nights"

9.0

Great Location in the fabulous town of Lavenham. Very friendly staff in particular Amelia and the wonderful Syros who looked after us so well at the week end. He made the stay even more enjoyable and coped very well when there was a power cut on the Sunday. I was amazed to find out before just before we left that he had only started working at the Great House the week before. Food was good and the bedroom wonderfully comfortable

Should have cereal and fruit at breakfast
