The Black Lion, Long Melford

We stayed here for 2 nights . The hotel is lovely. We had room 2 which was huge with a separate sitting room. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom with lovely products. Bathroom had chipped bath and the bath panel was flaking. Sunday lunch and the breakfast were great. We had a cheese board that was terrible. The biscuit you would need a hammer to break and the cured meat was hard at the edges and curling. When we mentioned this to the duty manager she just shrugged her shoulders. On check out we mentioned it again to Maddie (who was the best member os staff) and she said that was not the first complaint she had had re the hard biscuits. Chef offer a choice of bread and edible crackers. Generally good, but let down on finer details .

A lovely hotel/restaurant/bar, very friendly staff in a really nice place to eat/drink. We had the Sunday roast which was beautiful, we also had a a breakfast which was lovely, both meals served nice and freshly cooked, open to non residents, it’s a short stroll from the centre of Long Melford but very well worth a visit.

Lovely New Years Eve stay , great room overlooking the green . Returned from a walk around the spectacular church at midnight to be greeted by 2 glasses of bubbly .
