• Matthew (9/5): Just what we needed topped with fantastic breakfasts. - Clean and tidy room in a very convenient location. Beautiful private garden and fantastic breakfasts!

• Bianca (10/5): - It was absolutely lovely, nice spot to stay and the village centre is only a short walk away. Breakfast was amazing and the host was very helpful.

Lovely lush green garden, Bramley toiletries, made with natural essential oils and make the entire accommodation smell fresh, friendly owners Paul and Claire (Paul cooks a delicious breakfast). The bed was comfortable and we slept so well our 2 nights here. We enjoyed the quiet and easy parking yet so close to shopping and numerous restaurants. We will come again! Everything was especially nice so can’t think of a thing to improve on.

• Jan (10/5): Fabulous - Paul is a brilliant host, friendly and welcoming and provided so much helpful information prior to our stay about places to eat/visit etc. Extremely comfortable, absolutely immaculate self contained accommodation, furnished tastefully and to a very high standard. Everything you could need provided, including bathrobes and luxury toiletries, fresh milk etc. Fabulous choice of breakfast dishes and all cooked fresh to order by Paul. I can highly recommend his blueberry pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup. Free parking on site. The Mill is situated next to Long Melford Hall and only a very short walk away from a wide variety of pubs and restaurants in the village so you really don't need to use your car. Absolutely nothing! If you want comfort, relaxation, pampering and great food in a beautiful location with loads to do in the area then look no further.
• Tuyen (9/5): Magical stay - Thank you Paul for your great hospitality, particularly your excellent daily freshly made breakfast. Our room -the Melford Room - was tastefully designed, comfortable and homely. Over all we have had a wonderful time at The Mill. Many thanks. Brian & Tuyen xx None
• Barbara (9/5): -
• Modi (10/5): מקום שנירצה לחזור. מומלץ מאוד - אנשים חמים , לבביים , שירותיים , ארוחת בוקר מעולה, חדרים נוחים ויפים. תמורה מלאה לתשלום.

• Andrew (10/5): Paul made us feel very welcome room was great even got in a bit earlier and breakfast was lovely would go back in an ins - Lovely room was spot on
• Kate (8/5): -
• paul (10/5): Perfect, relaxing and felt spoilt. - All aspects of The Mill far outweighed our expectations, and totally warrants the amount of awards Paul & Clare have won. The luxury rooms are truly luxury, and full of beautiful little touches in the bathroom bathroom and tea/ coffee facilities, as just a few examples. The beds were super comfy and having access to our own little garden which we could share with our friends, was a perfect bonus for an early morning cuppa or a pre-dinner aperitif. The location for long melford village and Melford Hall (National Trust and virtually in their grounds) was absolutely perfect, and we parked our car and walked for the entire weekend. Lovely restaurants, walks, pubs, tearooms and boutique shops within a lovely walk, and even the Nethergate brewery at the other end of the village. We would recommend The Mill to anyone, and in particular if you are looking for a perfect private location for 2 x couples. Final mentions go to Paul and Clare as perfect hosts...and this review must finish on Paul's wonderful breakfasts... we tried them all and encourage anyone else to enjoy the same. :) nothing could be better

Good amenities, friendly welcome and great breakfast. We would definitely return! Our room came with its own garden, which is nice bonus. We didn’t use it much because the road and traffic noise significantly increased on our second day - not sure why, maybe there was a diversion?
• Paticia (10/5): - Excellent breakfast options and cooked fresh to order with local ingredients. The room was awesome and riomy!! Loved the slipper bath and private garden (Garden Room).
• Michael (10/5): - We had a lovely two night stay while in Long Melford for a wedding. Delightful accommodation

• david (10/5): Lovely - Great host and a very pleasant room. We had the room with the private garden, which would be super, if it had been a tad warmer. The restaurant recommendation (which came through after booking)was very helpful, along with other useful info on the local area.

• Natasha (10/5): Lovely room and a delicious breakfast. - Spacious room and delicious breakfast Nothing

• Serena (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful stunning place, spotlessly clean, Amazing breakfast
• Kevin (9/5): Terrific - will return - Lovely rooms, nice and helpful owners and very good breakfast. Lots of little touches in the room too. Room a little warm. May need a fan in the summer as a bit of road noise if you open the windows. Apart from that, all very good.
• Geraldine (1/5): Shambles and rude - Due to travelling for work, and an emergency at work, I was delayed with travel and missed the check in of 7pm, I was then phoned and as I told the man what situation we found ourselves, he said "With all due respect, what do you expect me to do?" however, said with no respect at all. He was rude, surely and very unhelpful. Worried about his dinner reservation. I then had to stay at a nearish premier inn, he said surely I couldn't expect any hotel to check me in between 10/11pm? in his opinion no hotel would allow it. In my follow up message i suggested maybe they could install a lock boxfor keys for guests that sometimes arrive later...he again said, with respect no hotels use lock boxes in Long Melford, again as if this was proposterous and i was stupid to suggest. Even though the accomadation looked wonderful, even if i had seen it, I could never recommend such a disrespectful , host, despite his constant reminder of his supposed respect.
• Stuart (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevin (10/5): First rate B&B, would recommend - Couldn't fault it. Paul especially was an excellent host and the breakfast portions are massive!! Thanks to Paul and of course Clare who we met at check in. Kevin & Liessa.

Wonderful garden and space. Everything has been well thought about here. We would love to return one day. Situated quite close to road so some road noise at night. This can’t be helped and the property is so lovely that it outweighs this! My husband slept soundly :) Just maybe take some ear plugs if you are sensitive to road noise.
• John (10/5): 10 out of 10 - You really couldn’t ask for more. Fabulous accommodation spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Being a hungry horse I have to say the breakfast was to die for! Thank you so much to Paul and Claire.

I was very impressed with the breakfast menu, not just cereals and the choice of an 'English' breakfast but also pancakes and mackerel was on offer. The mackerel was lovely. Very impressed, the rooms were lovely just like our hosts. I will be booking again in the warmer months where we can use an added extra garden area. Excellent location with loads of choice for evening meals all a very short walk away. Overall excellent. Looking forward to our next stay.
• Nick (10/5): Great location, warm room & amazing breakfast - Lovely location, room and service. Breakfast choices were very good and beautifully cooked…….. scrambled eggs just how I like them! The most important positive was how warm the room was considering it was almost freezing outside. It was a pity the advertised log burner didn’t have any logs for us to use as this would have been a lovely touch as well.
