Enjoy a short break at Lavenham Priory
Lavenham is regarded as one of the finest mediaeval villages in England with its historic buildings and streets. In Lavenham you will be able to visit our 'Wool Church' of St Peter & St Paul, the National Trust's Guildhall, as well as The Little Hall, home of the Suffolk Preservation Society. There is also an audio tour that can be hired to guide you round the village. A relaxed atmosphere, good humour and a memorable stay awaits. Leave your car for a while and enjoy England as it used to be;

Lavenham is an ideal location to explore Constable Country, the Suffolk coast and countryside where there are many National Trust properties, historic houses and several beautiful gardens. Whilst staying with us the towns of Bury St Edmunds, Long Melford, Cambridge and Newmarket are all within an hours drive as is Colchester with its castle.

Suffolk has a myriad of market towns and villages, country lanes and beaches all waiting to be explored. Combine this with quality food and drink, arts, crafts and cultural experiences and enjoy all the Suffolk has to offer from the comfort of Lavenham Priory.

Lavenham today is one of the most beautiful, villages and whilst walking down the streets and alleyways of this Suffolk town it is easy to imagine that you have stepped back in time. Ideal for that weekend getaway. There are so many fascinating buildings to see in Lavenham which are very much as they would have looked during the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII. There are the larger rather imposing houses of the rich wool merchants, the weavers homes some of which are very small and crooked and the manor houses, all interspersed and adding to the uniqueness of this wonderful town.
