Great location. Decor and furniture as you would expect for a house of this style so a little tired but in keeping with surroundings. Headroom a little challenging in places for my 6ft2 husband ! Would definitely stay again.

We loved it here. Lavenham is beautiful… like stepping back in time. The house is wonky and charming. It has everything you’ll need. You are in the heart of the little village so you can explore on foot. We did a treasure trail while we were there which was fun and helped us find out interesting information about the village. I would definitely recommend.
