Charming traditional B&B, nice room and excellent breakfast (extra charge). Hidden away in deepest rural Suffolk, various local pubs offering decent enough - if rather pricey - evening meal options (no evening meal available onsite). Had a quick dip in the 'refreshing' (outdoor) pool. Overall enjoyable short stay but felt the room rate was quite expensive for what we got.

A little night away with my partner , lovely hotel and grounds , we stayed in the blue room which they call the stables itā€™s separate from the main hotel . Lovely room all that you need is provided in the room . They donā€™t provide dinner but on their website you can find restaurants that are close by to book also breakfast is not included in with the room however you can purchase breakfast if you wish too . Overall a lovely little hotel with very friendly staff that make you feel very welcome..

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.

Amazing property and great hosts. We were greeted by a young lad called Saxon while the owner was fixing the ornate brass door bell. The gorgeous dogs and surroundings are a big plus. Many thanks

Idyllic setting for a relaxing break

The setting is beautiful as are the grounds. The room was very spacious and the breakfast plentiful and tasty. The shower in the bath was not easy to negotiate and the room did get very hot in the sun.

Fabulous stay in very special hotel

Fabulous stay at this very special hotel . Beautiful grounds and gardens , and so peaceful. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing break . We stayed in the stables which felt very private and it was lovely to wake up to birdsong . The owner was very friendly and nothing too much trouble . Would definitely recommend and hope to return . Well situated for visiting Lavenham and Long Melford and only 30 mins from the Suffolk coast .

Charming country house hotel

We had a lovely warm welcome from the owner, Frank, and were greeted with a roaring fire and the lovely Honey the dog. Great service and beautiful building with lots of interesting pieces of art etc. Lovely attention to detail to provide a comfortable and enjoyable country house feel.

The Rectory Manor is a beautiful country house situated in the picturesque village of Great Waldingfield, and only a few miles outside of the picture postcard village of Lavenham. The service throughout was exceptional, with email updates and details of how to get there provide by the owner, Frank Lawrenson, well in advance of our visit, to a terrific and warm reception from the property manager Joanne Cooke, when we arrived. The entire house is wonderfully presented with stunning art and lovely old photos of the Family history on display. The room we had was nothing short of incredible and would easily rival that of a Fairmont or St. Regis, it was that good. A lovely bedroom, with a four poster bed that was incredibly comfortable, and a bathroom fit for royalty. The breakfast was fantastic and very generous, using local produce. Frank, Joanne and the team were very friendly and genuine. They all seemed to enjoy what they do. Given the pandemic, and the additional rules that need to be followed, they made everything look effortless and you almost forget that we are still on the midst of a pandemic. It was true escapism. I noticed an article in the lounge that the Rectory Manor was a finalist in 2019 for best Bed and Breakfast place, and from what my Wife and I experienced, that is no surprise. It is a wonderful place and for me one for the finest places I have ever stayed in the world, and I am very well travelled. I could not recommend this place enough. Wonderful memories!

Great house, location and butler

Great old house with character and fascinating history including family photos and memorabilia. Welcome from Tom the butler (and later the owner) set the scene for a highly enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable stay. Tom was helpful and knowledgeable but unobtrusive and there when needed. Liked the honesty bar and breakfast. Will look to returning.

Great comfort but breakfast choices a bit limited.

Room was very spacious and comfortable with excellent facilities and all you could wish for, down to a jug of milk in the fridge for our tea. Service almost too attentive. Breakfast at a communal table with family portraits and military medals looking down on us seemed intended to simulate a country house party but the choice was a bit disappointing and more limited than we are used to in a quality hotel.
