Rectory Manor

My wife and I are lucky to be able to have ocassional visits away and decided to visit Lavenham and local area, we booked this place and have to at had a fantastic time and would thoroughly recommend as a place to stay . We where made very welcome , our room was terrific with a super en suite and a glorious view of the rear garden

Just had our second visit o the Rectory Manor and it was as good as the first. Frank and all the staff are great and the breakfast was superb, Thank you all and we will see you again soon.

Spacious and private - quiet & easy off road car parking. Weather was lovely for the swimming pool. Doors in bedroom didn't close properly in some instances but that's a minor point.

RUDE. AND POMPOUS MANAGEMENT If I could give the owners/management a ZERO rating for customer service and care I would. They deserve a ten for pomposity and being stuck up. I called to ask about a concerning email I had received from the hotel - an issue they have where it seems that despite giving the hotel your credit card details to guarantee payment, months ahead of time, what they don’t tell you, is that they are in fact, unable to validate most cards due to security issues. You cannot therefore pay on arrival! This was never mentioned when I booked, and the email and phone call implied that I was going to do a runner and not show up. It demanded immediate payment, when we had agreed for me to pay on arrival, with the card guaranteeing the booking. Concerned that this was a scam I called with concern, as I wasn’t able to access my laptop, being packed up to travel elsewhere that day. I could barely get a word in to explain my concerns about the booking because my head was bitten off, and Frank spoke to me for several minutes as if I was an infant. Never, in decades of travelling, have I been spoken to in the manner that Frank spoke to me several days ahead of what was supposed to be a 4 night stay, which we had reserved months in advance. Rude does not begin to describe his off hand manner and how he spoke down to me. Who needs this when you are working or going on holiday? AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Lovely welcome from their dogs, oh and Frank was quite nice too :0) We recently stayed in the fabulous four poster bedroom and absolutely loved it.Nice decor and slept really well in the bed. The bathroom was huge nice mural and decor. Rectory Manor is set in a beautiful location but mind you din't miss the entrance, Waze, ddint give teh best directions. Plenty of walks near by and fab old church opposite. Breakfast was very good and quite liked the long table , makes you talk to the other guests. Gardens are very nice but was a bit cold for the pool.

Perfect country house stay We had a great time at Rectory Manor, a lovely old georgian country house set in mature garden of trees and lawn with a swimming pool and tennis court if you want some exercise. 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.
