If you want superb food with incredibly friendly service you must go to the Black Lion. Had lunch there on Saturday 4 February and was so impressed am booking to go back on my Birthday next month. We had had pre lunch drinks seated in comfy settees in an olde world lounge that overlooks the lovely Long Melford Green. Michael,... More

We had a very nice Sunday lunch, three generations all having a good meal. Choice was what I expected in terms of roast beer, chicken, pork etc.. and served well in a clean linen in pleasant dinning room. I thought it was great value but perhaps I am out of touch with UK prices. More

Our room was good – it was clean, the bed was very comfortable and we had a view of the Green. My husband had fish for his dinner which he said was excellent. I had shepherds pie which was good but I would have liked a smaller portion and more vegetables. I have also got a bit tired of food... More

I took my partner here for a meal after reading reviews and we were not disappointed. The dining was superb, from the staff to the delicious meal. We haven't stayed in the hotel More

Myself and my girlfriend stayed at the Black Lion for a weekend break. We had cancelled from another hotel and needed to find somewhere else to stay. What a great find this hotel was.

I regularly visit the Black Lion, and having just read Josephine B's review I just cannot imagine she was in the same place as me. I do not normally leave feedback, but felt I had to after reading this. The staff have always been polite and helpful, its one of the main reasons I keep going back. As has been... More

The hotel itself is charming and very tastefully decorated, and felt homely! The food is superb. But what really made us return to this exquisite hotel is the staff, who are charming, warm, friendly yet still professional. Delicious afternoon cream tea is something you cannot miss out on. Looking forward to returning back! More

I called to make an enquiry and have never been treated so badly by anyone in my life. The guy was rude, had nothing positive to say. I have worked in the hospitality industry for many years, and have NEVER know any staff member to be so rude.... customer service does not apply at this hotel. First impressions last and... More
