Top Lavenham Hotel Reviews

The Mill Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful, we asked to switch rooms which they accommodated without arguing. Overall hotel rooms were 'tired', with mould around some windows and the accumulation of dirt in some corners. Unable to open the sash windows without them falling closed again, had to prop open with a piece of plastic I found. We had 2 rooms for our party, but though the rooms were the same price, one was nearly half the size of the other. Location really nice."

Hintlesham Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful location full of history and charm. Room was lovely with its original characteristics features. The homemade biscuits were a lovely touch."

B&B HOTEL Ipswich

8/10 Good

"I would like to be able to collect my bag without asking any staff when they’re busy doing things and I shouldn’t have to ask any staff if I can collect my luggage"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

8/10 Good

"Had a lovely stay at Delta Colchester. Staff is so pleasant and kind."

Wivenhoe House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a two night stay at Wivenhoe House hotel whilst attending a wedding. We booked a standard room which was adequate for our needs, it was clean and comfortable, bathroom had a lovely shower with complimentary products provided. I was impressed by the ‘real’ milk in the mini fridge, makes a big difference to your tea/coffee compared to the long life variety. There is plenty of breakfast options to choose from, they have covered all preferences, no complaints about what we had. Finally, I must mention how friendly and helpful the staff are at Wivenhoe House Hotel, each one we met had a smile, even if we just passed them in the corridor, well done Wivenhoe House, it makes a difference 😊"

Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG

10/10 Excellent

Muthu Belstead Brook Hotel

10/10 Excellent

The Swan Hotel
