stay at the great house

Discover a Timeless Retreat

Immerse yourself in centuries of charm when you stay at The Great House. Nestled in Lavenham, one of England’s most beautifully preserved medieval villages, our five individually styled rooms capture the essence of its timber‑framed heritage. Each space strikes a perfect balance of sophistication and quirkiness, luxury and intimacy, giving you a home-away-from-home wrapped in tradition.

A cozy bedroom with a green upholstered bed, colorful blankets, and multiple pillows, in an attic-style room with orange walls, wooden beams, a floral curtain on a window, and warm lighting from wall-mounted lamps.

Effortless Elegance on Arrival

Your stay begins the moment you arrive. Pre-book our exclusive Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit pick-up and drop-off service, an elegant touch to whisk you to and from your historic getaway. For an extra flourish, you can even request Champagne to be waiting inside the Rolls—simply let us know when you book, and we’ll ensure it’s perfectly prepared. Every detail has been carefully curated so your experience feels as grand as the building itself.

Just beyond our doors, step into a living tapestry of timber-framed beauty, cobbled lanes and rich heritage.

Spend your days exploring antique shops, cosy tearooms, and countryside paths. Whether you're a history buff, culture lover, or simply seeking a quiet escape, our team is here to help you uncover the very best of Lavenham and its storybook surroundings.
