Gosh! What a super duper, wonderful place! If you don't mind banging your head on a few low lying, medieval beams (and who WOULD mind?), this place is glorious. It's located right on the village square in the middle of the ancient, rickety, lopsided village of Lavenham, Suffolk. The room we had was extremely comfortable and bursting with cosy, English...

The Great House is a very good boutique hotel located off the main square in Lavenham, where you will also find ample free parking. We stayed 2 nights as a birthday treat and enjoyed our stay. The Hotel has an excellent reputation, for its “French Style” restaurant and was full on both nights so we suggest that you book ahead... More

The food and accommodation are superb. The staff really care and are most professional. This is a rare find. The food is strongly French influenced and executed with panache. Rooms are full of character, either Georgian or timber 17th century.However only a few rooms at all

Enjoyed a very special 50th birthday at The Great House. Our room was very spacious and the four poster bed was enormous and very comfy! Personally I think the modern pieces of furniture e.g. the plastic looking chairs and glass dressing table didn't add to the room, but that is because I'm quite traditional and conservative!! However, everything else was... More

The Great House manages to be all things that I look for in a restaurant. The service is attentive without being over the top, the staff are friendly and funny, but respectful and the food is absolutely superb. When you add to that a reasonably priced wine list, you have the recipe for success. My last visit here was for... More

Organised a secret getaway for my husband's bday and it was certainly worth it!!! The room was lovely, (room number 2) with an amazing bathroom and very spacious - two king size beds were included for those wanting to take up some extra space!!!! The food was fantastic, both breakfast and dinner and the staff was very very friendly and... More

We recently visited Great House for Saturday lunch. This was our first visit, but we shall certainly be back. We went on very strong recommendations, and our friends were right. It was, as has been said before, an establishment that paid great attention to detail, and a wonderful return to standards of service and presentation which seem to be entirely... More

A beautiful period house turned boutique hotel and restaurant. We stayed for a weekend in February and we just fell in love with Lavenham and the hotel. Our room was gorgeous, very old with a sweet little bathroom with wonky windows - just how the Tudors build it! I wouldn't hesitate recommending this hotel to anyone, we had such a... More

It's become our custom to eat at the Great House 2 or 3 times a year especially on birthdays and anniversaries. We have never been disappointed either by the food, the wine list or the service. If you have never visited Lavenham it's worth allowing a couple of hours to look at the architecture in this beautiful town. Whether you... More
