Not bad but could have some TLC
Firstly the staff were wonderful! Really friendly and accommodating.
The room:
First glance was beautiful and spacious! The bed wasn’t the most comfortable and also it was very noisy from other rooms. The doors are old and have clunky closing mechanisms the bathroom doors are particularly noisy so we woke up through the night when next door needed to pee!
The bathroom struggled for hot water quite often (usually at busier periods) but the bath plug didn’t fit well so as a bath person it drained pretty quickly while you were in it!
Cleanliness:
The bathroom tiles were pretty dirty in the grout and they are old tiles so has had a few regrouting attempts. Nothing a bit of astonish spray wouldn’t fix but the rusting of the metalwork in there is getting fairly brutal! The amenities were a little sad in there and were not what I would expect. The sheets in the room had marks on but they had been changed so I would maybe speak to their linen providers if I was them! One of my pillows had a cream tinge through the case and I dared not look.
All in all a nice place but needs some TLC I’ve stayed in some extremely old places historically and appreciated the charm but small things like fixing a cracked glass pane in the window would maybe help things feel a little more loved!

Very expensive for a mid-week stay in the middle of nowhere with no breakfast and a mediocre room. Hotel is very old, but in a creepy rather than nice way. Some effort to renovate but it’s just patching over the cracks e.g., new wallpaper but bath/shower so old that even though it’s been cleaned, it still looks discoloured and dirty. Bed and pillows so old and worn that we have both had backache since the first night (five days on and still not recovered). Not awful, but definitely not worth the price.

Room was clean but situated next to the road which was busy. The breakfast was served cold and not very tasty. However the sunday lunch was excellent and served on a hot plate. Staff in the bar friendly and approachable. The atea of Long Melford has plenty to see and do thus the hotel is an ideal spot to stay.

Nice hitel with good staf
Good staff ,friendly and helpful . Lovely historic hotel with bar , 2 restaurants & lounge . Nice food and reasonably priced food & drink . Lovely courtyard area to sit in . Brrakfast was very nice with good quality ingredients. Bedrooms are decent size , comfy bed BUT the HEAT the bedrooms is terrible, like walking into a sauna . The fan did nothing to help , we couldn't sleep and loads of other people were moaning about the heat rooms too . Something needs to be done about it . Apart from that it was a good stay .

Noisy
Regret that at between 6 and 7 am the noise of the celler barrells being loaded or unloaded was very loud, making it difficult to to continue my sleep. Its a shame, as i have stayed at the Hotel many times, and have always been happy.

Comfortable, with character
We spent a pleasant night here with a very spacious room and comfortable bed, although the bathroom felt a touch old-fashioned. Our evening meals, in the bar, were OK, nothing special, although service was quite slow, and for some reason we couldn’t use a Greene King drink voucher despite it being a Greene King pub ! Breakfast selection the following morning was good and the smoked salmon and scrambled egg, freshly cooked from the hot menu, was excellent. Parking is in a courtyard behind the hotel and although we were able to use it space seemed quite tight.

Update required
Hotel needs a bit of TLC painting in need of, plus towel rad didn't work nor the fan and shower difficult to use. Furniture dated reported to sue on the reseption and was informed that this has been reported a long time and was going to have a full refurb but the money has ran out.
