Our room (the Hudson) was furnished in the country house style and was supremely comfortable. The only downside was the bathroom was a bit small and slightly dated. The bath was too small to properly soak. On the plus side we had an unexpected balcony that caught the morning sun whilst giving beautiful country views across the garden to a field and trees beyond. The rookery in the garden made for a noisy backdrop but if you don't mind the sound of rooks cawing then it is a perfect place to sit and read, have a coffee and relax. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3066f20e-b4bc-4ab9-90c4-06d4c07e16db-1746522316026.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8c887826-dfec-4721-8598-98890c925fbc-1746522318824.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fef7e299-0080-4eaf-b303-9ac82b110367-1746522316221.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ac4bf376-ca5f-4b5d-8ba4-d77759426450-1746522318085.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy 11 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay Beautiful room with a lovely roll top bath in the annex building.

Well situated for visiting Lavenham and Long Melford and only 30 mins from the Suffolk coast . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1632B5357EFC09DE4BA5C60B3F1C33A0C84D23321651864168456.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5251B500C3DD11E5A128DAACDB440AD81A0BAB4F1651864177752.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1BD05F2F86E75811DB9BEDE5A303F225DC82D5311651864175446.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B7C91D6AD2C3DAF3CFE8C16A27E70BB75F71915B1651864169729.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Deborah Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful B&B What a lovely find!

Beautiful part of the country and great for exploring Lavenham and other parts of Suffolk ##### Vicky Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Rectory Manor is a beautiful country house situated in the picturesque village of Great Waldingfield, and only a few miles outside of the picture postcard village of Lavenham. The service throughout was exceptional, with email updates and details of how to get there provide by the owner, Frank Lawrenson, well in advance of our visit, to a terrific and warm reception from the property manager Joanne Cooke, when we arrived. The entire house is wonderfully presented with stunning art and lovely old photos of the Family history on display. The room we had was nothing short of incredible and would easily rival that of a Fairmont or St. Regis, it was that good. A lovely bedroom, with a four poster bed that was incredibly comfortable, and a bathroom fit for royalty. The breakfast was fantastic and very generous, using local produce. Frank, Joanne and the team were very friendly and genuine. They all seemed to enjoy what they do. Given the pandemic, and the additional rules that need to be followed, they made everything look effortless and you almost forget that we are still on the midst of a pandemic. It was true escapism. I noticed an article in the lounge that the Rectory Manor was a finalist in 2019 for best Bed and Breakfast place, and from what my Wife and I experienced, that is no surprise. It is a wonderful place and for me one for the finest places I have ever stayed in the world, and I am very well travelled. I could not recommend this place enough. Wonderful memories! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Calum M.

Welcome from Tom the butler (and later the owner) set the scene for a highly enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable stay. Tom was helpful and knowledgeable but unobtrusive and there when needed. Liked the honesty bar and breakfast. Will look to returning. ##### david Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darren 21 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tom the Butler was fantastic ##### Darren Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort excellent stay at Rectory Manor, staff very helpful .recommend breakfast. good places eat supper locally. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### David, Roehampton 11 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great comfort but breakfast choices a bit limited. Room was very spacious and comfortable with excellent facilities and all you could wish for, down to a jug of milk in the fridge for our tea. Service almost too attentive. Breakfast at a communal table with family portraits and military medals looking down on us seemed intended to simulate a country house party but the choice was a bit disappointing and more limited than we are used to in a quality hotel. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Black Lion, Long Melford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sudbury-Hotels-The-Black-Lion.h4111341.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bull Hotel Long Melford by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sudbury-Hotels-The-Bull-Hotel-Long-Melford-By-Greene-King-Inns.h2563002.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sudbury-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h21959.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [The George and Dragon Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sudbury-Hotels-The-George-And-Dragon-Inn.h4478585.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
