Excellent

This is a fabulous property in an excellent location. The host (Paul) was superb, so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Charming and comfortable

The Anchor Cottage is an utterly delightful, comfortable and (perhaps surprisingly given its 16th century heritage) practical place to stay. We were 5 adults together from different places in the world for a small family reunion. We loved cooking together (great kitchen),using the bbq, eating in either the garden or sweet dining room with candlelight and of course watching the Euro 2024 😂. The beds are super comfortable and the family bathroom more than adequate with plenty of hot water. We really appreciated the well equipped laundry room too, having been on the road for some time. Last but not least, the location steps away from the waterfront with all the restaurants, oyster and fish bars and of course the vast expanse of tidal waters, boats and the enormous Constable sky. We would love to come back again some day. Highly recommended.

Medieval marvel

Lavenham is a medieval secret well worth visiting. Our accommodation was perfect with everything you require. We were able to get information about the property earlier from the owner.
