Built in 1450 the Bull Hotel is a timber house in the charming East Anglian village of Long Melford. The former Coaching Inn offers en suite rooms and fine food.

The Cordell and Kentwell restaurants serve traditional English cuisine and have a fine wine list to accompany the menu. Relax after dinner in an armchair by one of the Elizabethan fireplaces.

The property is 500 years old. Very charming, lovely building. The bedroom and bed were very comfortable. The front desk staff was very helpful and pleasant. I had a very nice short stay to attend a Christmas show nearby.

Welcome to our 15th Century inn where our modern twist on the traditional creates a wonderful setting to enjoy our food, sample our local ales, explore our wine list and rest a weary head.

When it is time to hit the hay enjoy a restful night’s sleep in one of our ten individually styled bedrooms. Our bedrooms consist of cosy snugs, luxury rooms, a luxury suite and a family room with modern interior styling that is sympathetic to our Georgian building. Amenities in our bedrooms include flat screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, superfast WIFI and Bramley products.

Gorgeous location in a quiet Suffolk Village. The building was beautiful and ideally decorated. We didn't use the restaurant but the menu looked good (we were meeting friends elsewhere). Bar was well stocked and staff very helpful. We upgraded and had a beautiful and large room. Bathroom was a little less decadent than the rest of the hotel but clean enough. We used our own toiletries but good to see environmental impact was thought about. TV was odd and difficult to use - usual channels didn't seem available and if we tried Netflix or any of the other apps, none of them worked, so we turned it off and just had music playing on our phones. Comfy bed, and tea/coffee available, so all good. We loved it. *worth mentioning that had we paid full price I would have felt it a little expensive, but I had a Booking.com credit and so actually it felt like a bargain.

In the peaceful village of Gestingthorpe on the border of Essex and Suffolk is The Pheasant pub. The pub’s Coach House offers boutique accommodation in a rural location just 15 minutes’ drive from Sudbury.

Nicely located in a small village, good food and friendly staff. Very clean rooms. Evening menu helped greatly as we had been travelling all day and reasonably priced with good value for money.

    Period property reflected authentic and picturesque features. The staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was served very well and was delicious. Although I did not have dinner there, the hotel appeared to have a good clientele of guests and local dinners.

    A lovely olde worlde Inn which was clean and well presented, the staff were friendly and welcoming as were the Bar Team. The food was of a good standard, I had the Sunday Roast and whilst there were parts I would have had different, altogether it was very nice. The room was a good size and clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was really nice.

    The room was spacious and the staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cooked well and the produce was delicious and of good quality. We ate dinner at the Inn also. The food was good but a little pricey for what it was.

    Comfortable stay with friendly, efficient service and good breakfast. Room was tidy and airy with a very good shower and warm, comfortable bed. Plenty of room for clothes to hang and store. Resident's entrance at side of building. No noise from bar/restaurant. Had a celebratory dinner on last evening, which was expensive, but very enjoyable.
