A very well put together house rather large but very intresting as you make your way round it, we had just finished and going to the courtyard and the fire alarm sounded and everyone had to be evacuated from the house, see last photo.
Karen Brown's Lavenham Great House & Restaurant, Lavenham, England
The LAVENHAM GREAT HOUSE & RESTAURANT in the town of Lavenham, England
Lavenham with its lovely timbered buildings, ancient Guildhall, and spectacular church is the most attractive village in Suffolk.
The Great House on the corner of the market square, a 15th-century building with an imposing 18th-century façade, houses a lovely French restaurant-with-rooms run by Martine and Regis Crepy.
Dinner is served in the oak-beamed dining room where up to the moment modern décor is married with exposed beams and an open brick fireplace. From Tuesday to Friday a particularly good value for money fixed-price menu is offered. On Saturday you dine from the à-la-carte menu.
The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday. In summer you can dine al fresco in the flower-filled courtyard.
Four of the large bedrooms have a lounge or a sitting area; all are stylishly decorated with oversize headboards, striking pieces of furniture and modern art from local artists.
The en suite bathrooms are state of the art.
Enjoy the village in the peace and quiet of the evening after the throng of daytime summer visitors has departed.
Next door, Little Hall is furnished in early-19th-century style and is open as a museum.
Farther afield are other historic villages such as Kersey and Long Melford, and Constable's Flatford Mill.

Middleton Hall
The Hall was the home of some notable people and was visited by many figures from history. Included among these is Queen Elizabeth I, who certainly spent two nights under its roof after the festivities at Kenilworth in 1575. To find out more please visit our website middleton-hall.co.uk
