Nice people. Horrible place
When i arrived the reception greeting was good. I got moved from a single to a double. The room was nice but very dated, as was the whole building. On checking out i was charged for breakfast. I explained that on the booking with Hotels.com the stsy was "breakfast included " but insisted that it was room only. I wasn't happy with this but they insisted i paid for breakfast. Not happy about this. Overall i wont stay there again.

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.
