Great stay at The Black Lion Great Melford
Absolutely delightful 3-night stay at this lovely historic Inn. Staff were all professional, hard working, courteous and polite. Couldn't do enough for us.
Breakfast was delicious with top quality ingredients - cooked to perfection.
We had dinner two nights - again, lovely ingredients, really well cooked.
All in all the perfect place to stay to enjoy the wonderful village and church. Will definitely come again

Disappointing after 2 lovely previous stsys
Disappointed with this stay after 2 lovely stays previously.
Biggest issue was after paying for a more superior room, the bed was two very uncomfortable single beds put together. The matresses were uncomfortable leading to a really poor nights sleep.
Other than that the room was cold and there was dubious staining on the bench seat at the end of the bed.

Overall, it is a great stay. Downside is that they charge £15 for breakfast per person if you book through Expedia, which is not clear and the breakfast is not worth it; I had avocado and egg, it was a sour paste avocado not fresh.

Lovely place
Staff were great, very friendly and seemed like nothing is too much trouble.
Rooms, bar and restaurant areas all furnished. decorated to high standard.
Only downside is cleaning wasn't done to high standard (dirty bathroom floor), lots of dust on fittings etc and some general maintenance required to windows, blinds etc. But overall a lovely place to stay. Love their attitude to dogs too, if we stay again we would take our dog knowing it would be made very welcome !

Gem of a historic hotel
Amazing hotel. The suite we stayed in was fabulous. The bathroom was spotless with a great shower. Eating in the hotel restaurant was a pleasure, the chef's creations were so tasty. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely come back.

Nice Cosy Weekend Break
Good hotel. Food & beverages excellent. Considering the current COVID restrictions the service was very good. Staff very pleasant and engaging. Reservation was prepaid via Hotels.com but was charged again for accommodation by the hotel at check out. Didn't reslise this u til i checked my Amex statement. Awaiting a refund from hotel. Hopefully nothing more than an oversight.
