Checked in to this lovely small hotel last night. We were guided up the narrow stairwell to our room on the third floor past several large rocking horses, low ceilings and nicely appointed halls. Our room is very nice - soft colours, warmly decorated. Large bathroom and HUGE towels. Lots of water pressure and hot water - not common in... More

Staying at the Black Lion Hotel has been an absolute pleasure. The Service, Food, Rooms and Staff are second to none. A huge thank you to Nikki, Kaya and the whole team for bending over backwards to accommodate a crew with a hectic filming schedule... We could not be more grateful. A real tight team who are the cherry on... More

Wild, wacky, large rooms. Delicious, fresh, local food. But most of all friendly, efficient, and incredibly helpful staff. Would recommend to anyone coming to Suffolk. Particularly enjoyed the slow roast shin of beef.

Called here for a meal and can't think why. The waiter was rude from the start and I should have guessed at the nearly empty dining room as to what the experience was likely to be. The menu was limited and expensive so we expected food to reflect the price especially as we were hungry — it did not. The... More

Our daughter's wedding reception was recently held at the Black Lion. From the first day when we discussed possibilities with the Manager, Michael, to several days after the wedding when the final details were tied up, we received friendly help, advice and participation from all the staff. Part of the package was the use of all the bedrooms on the... More

A quick note to praise the staff and management of this excellent and friendly hotel and restaurant. The room was very clean and the food in the restaurant was superb. But what stood out for me was the exceptionally friendly and accomodating staff. This hotel and village are well worth a visit.

Thank you to The Black Lion for looking after us so well. Our visit was only intended as an overnight pit stop but we couldn't quite bring ourselves to leave this pretty village in a hurry. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was completely relaxing...a picnic on the green in the sunshine... More

Enjoyed a relaxing afternoon browsing the antique shops of Long Melford followed by afternoon tea at the Black Lion. Excellent service, tasty selection of sandwiches, lovely scones & finger cakes. As we were seated in bar area, a traditional English tea atmosphere did not prevail, nor was there a choice of teas (for those wanting that experience would look elsewhere).... More

A bit of context: wife and I were attending a soirée nearby, so needed a base for the night (not much of which would be left by the hour of our return). On the face of it, £125 for a standard double room seemed a bit steep for that kind of purpose. However, The Black Lion welcomes guests from 2pm,... More

We took advantage of a special offer, Sunday dinner, bed &breakfast. From the moment we checked in, we were made very welcome by Nikki and all other staff during our stay. We stayed in a feature room which had great view, good size, clean, comfortable bed and bathroom had separate shower and bath. My only gripe would be squeaky bed,... More
