Great location
We enjoyed our stay but we're disappointed overall. Our room was very cramped with furniture, the window wouldn't open and this was when it was very hot weather. We thought the menus offered were very limited and the wine very over-priced. We would stay again but would upgrade to a better room and only do B&B. We thought the Airmans bar was wonderful and that more could be made of this - We only found it by wandering around. It needs a dedicated bar tender who doesn't have to also serve the diners who could make great cocktails and also a facility to serve coffee.
Beautiful hotel but restaurant very disappointing
My wife and I just love this hotel and have stayed many times , unfortunately this time the evening food was extremely disappointing
There is no A la carte menu available anymore and the sirloin and fish was below standard.
Surely a hotel of this caliber should be able to serve a decent sirloin.
The staff are superb
Disappointing stay
The hotel appears full of old world charm and the public rooms and exterior are enchanting. The Restaurant is reasonable with a good breakfast and an average evening meal - suggest a dish of the day, pasta or curry is added.
Staff knowledge in the Restaurant and Bar variable - some could not outline dishes or indeed prepare drinks. Reception and Housekeeping staff good.
The Bedrooms are disappointing, especially if it is hot weather. Given the age of the building there is no air conditioning. Ancient fans are provided but these, in 28C heat were completely ineffective. The problem was the bedrooms were so hot (many guests commented on this) that we slept on top of the bed with the windows open. The issue here is traffic noise if you are on the main road. We were woken regularly from 0530 by cars and then at 0630 by deliveries to the Co-op opposite. Avoid road facing bedrooms. We had booked for four days in a Heritage Room as a special treat. The bathroom was small with no apparent ventilation and and is no more than one star although the soaps and toiletries were of a much higher standard. The room overall was tired.
Lavenham as a village is wonderful.
