Beautiful accommodation

Beautiful luxurious B&B. Really loved our nights stay there. Every detail had been thought of and the accommodation was beautiful, luxurious and comfortable. Even a wood burner and private garden. I’d love to go back in Spring/Summer to use bikes available and to visit the two NT properties within walking distance.

Paul was an excellent host and he made a lovely freshly cooked breakfast. The rooms are every bit as good as advertised. There are places of interest in easy walking distance and just short drives away. Several good places to get and evening meal again all within easy walking distance.

Lovely

Great host and a very pleasant room. We had the room with the private garden, which would be super, if it had been a tad warmer. The restaurant recommendation (which came through after booking)was very helpful, along with other useful info on the local area.

Beautiful decor throughout, very well presented & the stunning bath centrepiece topped the room off. Only slight criticism being the towels, which were hard & scratchy. The host Paul was extremely friendly & helpful, he also makes a top class full english breakfast! Great base for exploring this lovely part of Suffolk 😊

Great location, warm room & amazing breakfast

Lovely location, room and service. Breakfast choices were very good and beautifully cooked…….. scrambled eggs just how I like them! The most important positive was how warm the room was considering it was almost freezing outside. It was a pity the advertised log burner didn’t have any logs for us to use as this would have been a lovely touch as well.

We had a lovely one night stay at The Mill. It was a lovely place to stay and a perfect location for exploring the pretty surroundings. The room was extremely comfortable and characterful. And the home cooked breakfast very generous and delicious. It was a nice extra to be able to easily adjust the temperature of the room to our liking. On this occasion we were just in Long Melford for one night for an anniversary meal at the restaurant Scutchers; it was a shame we weren't able to stay a bit longer!

Stay at Mill Long Melford

Stayed at Mill for two nights over bank holiday weekend. Everything about stay excellent. Room lovely clean superbly decorated and comfortable. Also beautiful private garden which we took advantage of on Sunday. Breakfast was freshly cooked and of course excellent!! Despite all of above what made our stay exceptional was the warm welcome and attention from hosts. Not difficult to see why so highly rated. Would definitely recommend highly. Also very pretty area to visit.

Lovely place to be based

Our visit started with a very warm welcome from Paul. The room was comfortable and clean and tastefully decorated to a very high spec. Really nice range of teas coffees and fresh milk. I was happy to see the eco friendly use of refillable local toiletries. Breakfast was lovely... Particularly enjoyed the scrambled eggs and local pastries. The fact that the rooms are separate from the house meant that we could come and go without bothering anyone else. Paul shared loads of useful information about recommendations for places to eat and visit.
