Rectory Manor

Hotel

 

Rectory Manor is a historic country house and proud member of The Historic Houses Association (HHA). Rated 5 stars, with fabulously unique and individually styled rooms, we offer Bed and Breakfast in the style of a Boutique Hotel, minutes from the centres of Lavenham, Sudbury and Long Melford in Suffolk. Breakfast is served at our medieval refectory table and is charged on top of the room price, as some guests may choose to forgo it. We do not offer dinner. However, there is a wide range of fabulous places all within three miles. See the "explore" tab. Please note we no longer accept children under the age of 16. Rectory Manor now has 7KW fast-chargers for electric vehicles - See FAQ's for details.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

The Daily Telegraph

"Arriving at Rectory Manor is like arriving for an old-fashioned country house party, (which you secretly hope will be more PG Wodehouse than Agatha Christie)"
