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

First the good: the service, and the staff are friendly and professional. The average: the food, well presented and well cooked but it is not different from many French restaurants. The verdict: you can eat at this restaurant once but you will find better ones to spend your money. I just came back from Paris and had a wonderful meal... More

We visited for a Sunday lunch. First impressions are of a lovely and tastefully restored and maintained historic building, with sympathetic slightly modern decor. The tables are spaced out enough to allow for an intimate atmosphere while still creating a nice buzz in the room. For sunday lunch there is a set menu at £33.50 a head for three courses... More
