Rectory Manor Hotel

Beautiful experience from start to finish.The grounds are very well looked after, the rooms were also well kept and the staff were so welcoming and informative. There's a friendly dog that lives on site too, which couldn't wait to accompany me from my room in the stables to the front door of the main house. And so we will be sure to visit again. Wonderful stay.

Stayed two nights and was wonderful stay. From the time we first arrived with a very warm welcome too when we left we could not fault it. A beautiful house and comfortable rooms with a first class breakfast which was just what we needed for all the lovely walks in the area. I highly recommend this hotel

Wonderful, dog friendly place to stay. Frank the host, is a lovely guy and very welcoming. Cooked breakfast was expertly done and the continental is plentiful.A relaxing place to stay. Recommend the garden suite if you have your dog as you have your own conservatory.

This place is an absolute gem and a must stay if you are in the area.Best nights sleep for ages and a perfect breakfast to with it.The owner and staff cannot be better.The Rectory Manor has something special about it and we cannot wait o stay again.

Very much enjoyed our stay at the Manor, we were very well welcomed , the room was a good size with its own bathroom complete with separate bath and shower. All very clean.Ample breakfast and staff very pleasant.Set in a small village and a little bit off the road it was lovely setting and quiet.

I can not say enough about this place - honestly. The property is immaculately maintained in the original style, and each room is uniquely designed to reflect heritage, but with modern cheeky touches. It's clear that great care has been taken here on all accounts, but especially in anticipating guest needs. Breakfast is delicious, Jade's service is top notch, recommendations are many, and Frank is a delightful host.I booked this for my family group (6 people) and everyone loved it - that has to be a first. As the website mentions, a rental car is preferable here, owing to the remote location. That said, you don't get the benefits of going off the beaten track without...well - going off the beaten track! This is high-end English countryside at its best. The surrounding towns of Lavenham and Sudbury were adorable with much interesting architecture and history to offer, the walking trails were beautiful, and a day trip into Cambridge was very feasible for us.They have very cute dogs onsite who will snuggle and beg you to throw the ball at every opportunity, a heated pool, and full tennis court, as well as manicured gardens. The drink selection in the drawing room was great. The in-room tea and coffee station was a nice touch, as was the fresh milk to go with it. We felt that Frank and the staff were never far if we had a question, but afforded us much privacy during our stay.This is a Bed and Breakfast dream in the heart of Suffolk - I would not hesitate to recommend this property to my clients and will certainly be back myself.

Just the best. The staff are hard working and humorous, helpful and non intrusive. Delightful, very interesting area of the country as well...Wonderful stay!

We stayed here back in July and it was simply superb.Beautiful rooms, wonderful setting. Tom's service was outstanding - someone should give that man a pay rise!Honey, the golden dog, was also a real celebrity.We look forward to staying again sometime.

Myself and my partner (and our large but well behaved greyhound) stayed at Rectory Manor for two nights to end off our first holiday since Lock-down started. We were blessed with great weather, but even without that the hotel is fabulous and the dream place to unwind. We stayed in the garden suite, which was perfect for bringing the dog. The staff were helpful and welcoming and we enjoyed it so much we were hoping to extend our stay, but unfortunately they were fully booked. So we'll definitely be coming back.

An absolutely superb experience staying at Frank’s beautiful house. We were warmly greeted by Frank and given a guided tour of the house. It feels homely immediately and this is in part due to the fact it is Frank and his families home! For us this made a big difference as it didn’t feel like a hotel but rather like we were visiting a distant relative with a beautiful fancy house.The room was stunning and decorated superbly with an array of fitting antiques as well as a very enticing drinks trolly with ample gin and scotch to boot! It’s such a quiet and relaxing place which is exactly what we were after too.The grounds are perfectly kept as the swimming pool was immaculate. Frank has two beautiful dogs too who were so friendly; it made it harder to leave when they kept wanting to play with us!Frank was a fantastic host constantly making sure we were ok and catered for whenever he saw us. He also gave us a very animated and interesting overview of many of the paintings and pictures of his fascinating ancestors which he proudly displays around the house. As a history buff this was very interesting. What was lovely is that despite it being his family home we never felt that anyone was being intrusive and had so much privacy throughout our stay.I should actually say that I proposed to my fiancé on the stunning and very private balcony of the Hopkins Room overlooking the croquet lawn. It was perfect and we will be returning very soon as this place is now special to us. Thank you Frank and your staff / family for providing a great stay for us and we look forward to staying again very soon!
