Charming double rooms with cozy decor make it easy to feel right at home while being surrounded by historic architecture. The location provides a quaint atmosphere, complete with church bells that add character, especially during the day.

Weekend musings can be a bit lively with noise echoing from the pub, which might not sit well with light sleepers, but weekdays offer a much quieter vibe. Those church bells ring every 15 minutes and can surprise you at night, although they were quite charming during daylight hours—a double-edged sword for some.

I had a lovely stay with a good range of orange juice and biscuits waiting for me in my room. The pain au chiclet was a nice surprise! The garden area and cozy leisure room were perfect spots to unwind after a long day. Just a heads up, some of the breakfast bars were a bit past their prime, so maybe check the dates. 😊

Rooms were cozy and quiet, but off-site parking was a hassle. Friendly staff!

Request ear plugs upon check-in to manage the church bells and pub noise, ensuring a restful stay.

Strongly recommend for a hurried visit

Comfortable room, excellent location, with thoughtful amenities like bottled water and a breakfast basket that ensures a great start to the day, along with convenient access to nearby attractions just 25 miles from the nearest airport.

Nothing to be said.

Perfect little getaway!

Had a lovely stay for a night with the family. The place was super clean and cozy, and I loved that they stocked up on tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. The breakfast basket was a nice touch—quality stuff! Just wish the parking was a bit easier. great spot!

The limited food options were a drawback.

would recommend

The location is truly wonderful, set in a picturesque village with friendly staff who made check-in a breeze. The room, while compact, was impeccably clean, warm, and provided a comfortable bed. Breakfast included a convenient porridge cup and fresh fruit, perfect for a quick morning grab. the bathroom was quite basic and the breakfast selection felt limited, lacking variety beyond just a few items. Noise from the nearby pub wasn't an issue, but the overall simplicity of the amenities left something to be desired.

The charming village location is picturesque, and the room, while basic, was clean and warm with a comfortable bed. Enjoying the church's chimes added to the experience. the dim lighting made getting ready a bit tricky, and the limited breakfast options could be improved.

The room had a lovely high ceiling and charming touches like bottled water, making me feel quite special. The cozy garden and outdoor seating area were perfect for enjoying the picturesque views of the village green.

More storage options would be helpful for seniors.

Quiet and Comfortable Stay

I enjoyed a peaceful night in the Double Room. Although no food is served onsite, Long Melford offers delightful dining options nearby. The room's charm pleasantly overshadowed minor cleanliness issues. Future guests should explore delivery options in advance for meals.

The Cavendish Five Bells offers a charming rural village experience. The breakfast basket with juice and porridge was perfect for my early start. The staff were incredibly helpful, and parking right outside my spacious room made everything convenient.

No dining options at the inn.
