Excellent as always! Very high standard of accommodation.
Blacksmith’s Cottage in Lavenham was excellent in every way - tastefully and lavishly modernised with attention to every detail. Also a gorgeous hamper was awaiting us on our arrival. It’s a perfect location within the village - walking distance from the best pubs and restaurants - and was a great centre for exploring Suffolk. I would highly recommend it.
Blacksmith's Cottage offered first-class accommodation in the middle of the unique historic town of Lavenham. The welcoming local homemade sponge cake, bottle of bubbles and basic shopping items were very much appreciated after a long journey. The accommodation itself was lovely, ideal for me and my wife and our working cocker spaniel. Anyone looking for a short break with a choice of circular walks and lots of places to eat, then this is the place for you. The Number 10 restaurant right next door to the Blacksmith's cottage is also worth a visit. Although our original plan was to drive to other local spots during our 5-days in Lavenham, we soon discovered that with the choice of walks, interesting shops, local pubs and restaurants, there was enough to do, in and around the town itself, to keep us occupied, with no driving necessary. Would highly recommend and would love to return one day!
Delightful cottage beautifully presented and right in the middle of this lovely village.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
