Arrived on Sunday afternoon during Sunday lunch and was politely asked to come back - it was very busy. Room was comfortable but could be small for two (number 5). The staff, all French, were delightful and friendly. Breakfast was good but the highlight of the 3 nights was dinner on the last night. I made the mistake of meeting... More

Went for dinner with my wife. The food was excellent - best beef we've had for a long long time - all served beautifully by efficient and friendly staff. The wine list is very good. The place was full with a great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole dinning experience, which was truly memorable. Can't wait for our next visit, because... More

A restaurant with rooms in the centre of Lavenham, one of the prettiest villages in suffolk and some of the best food in this country. An exquisite dinner, and a lovely bedroom too. All thoughtfully prepared with a guest,s comfort in mind. We coudn't fault it. Can't wait to stay again.

It's a restaurant with rooms as opposed to a hotel but it's standards are as high as most 5 star hotels and it's won loads of awards. Our room was no 3 (of 5) which is bigger than the others we think. Decor is designer style mixed... More

This fantastic restaurant consistently offers food of an exceptional quality. The food and service is comparable to any of the other top restaurants we have eaten in throughout England. It is unfortunate that all too often now in England we have become accustomed to paying vastly inflated prices for what can only be described as average food (certainly in London);... More

This beautiful restaurant off the scenic square in Lavenham is certainly 'Great' ..in fact it is truly 'Formidable' with its French style gastronomic delights! The staff are exceptional and the menu(at lunchtime) was well priced featuring a good selection of fish,game(winter) and meat dishes. The desserts were tasty although a little small. The Cheese board has to be seen to... More

The Great House is a wonderful place to go for a meal in Suffolk. The food was perfectly cooked and presented and there was plenty of choice on the set menu. Although the restaurant was full there was plenty of space around you to allow you to feel comfortable and relaxed. The staff were attentive, yet not intrusive. So pleased... More
