The check in here was quite late 4pm. When we arrived we were greeted warmly, then told there was a general key to the main door, which was available to every room, then every room didn't have their own key. So we could not lock our bedroom door at all, even whilst we were in it! The door just pulled... More

We enjoyed our two night stay in the Grand Chamber room. The sheets felt lovely, the towels were nice and fluffy, the bed was very comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and lovely to us. We were a bit worried from some of the other reviews about Gilli, but she was perfectly welcoming to us. Breakfast at the communal table was... More

Stayed here recently. Stunning place, beautiful accommodation, lovely lounge with fires and honesty bar. Problem is they have gone to so much trouble making sure the B&B is perfect the perfection of the place has become more important to them than their guests. Check in is at 4 pm onwards, checkout at 10.30. Breakfast i seem to recall was 8.30... More

It took effort to get to Lavenham from Cambridge, via public transportation, but staying at the Priory made all the effort well worth it. Our stay lasted one night, in July, and I still think about it with pleasure. As frugal (and critical) as I am, I am so glad to have spent our time and money there. It was... More

About as good as it gets, lovely historic rooms to sleep in with a modern bathroom which was spotless. Able to sit in the great hall in the evening by a wood fire with a drink in hand, breakfast was in another historic room and what a breakfast it was. It`s easy to forget this is a family house which... More

Clearly the owners have expended spent much time, love and money in restoring this place, for which we as the public have to be grateful for. However, throughout out stay we felt more like a necessary evil than welcome guests. Considering the fact that as paying customers we must be funding the life style of the owners I would have...

My Partner booked the Priory Suite as an Anniversary present with dinner across the road in The Swan. We were made to feel very welcome, and the Priory is quite magnificent. For such an old building I was very pleasantly surprised at how warm and cosy it was throughout. The current owners have restored this period house with such attention... More
