Originally submitted on November 11th. Fine and welcoming historical establishment. A treasure. It was the local inn for a brief 3 years, and the last social place, of many heroes among the 3500 US personnel based at the USAAF airfield in Lavenham. Think B17. RIP. more

Visited for an overnight stay on November 8th and service was as usual first rate. This is a lovely hotel with staff both meticulous and accommodating.
