Cottage holiday rentals in Lavenham

We had a lovely stay. House was as described, clean and had all the things we needed. Would recommend to friends and family.

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing little cottage set on a working farm. The views across the fields were absolutely stunning—truly a breath of fresh air. It was the ideal place to unwind and disconnect. Mary and her team were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They even offered us a later checkout, which was such a kind gesture (though we sadly had to decline as we were eager to get home to see our son). The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, perfect for relaxing after a peaceful day. And the complimentary bottle of wine, A lovely touch—it went down very well! The nearby village of East Harling is just a 30-minute walk away and has everything you need for a quiet retreat—whether it’s grabbing some basic groceries or enjoying a drink at one of the friendly local pubs. It’s great not having to rely on the car at all. We would highly recommend this cottage to any couple looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. We’ll definitely be back.

Great location and Paul was a very helpful and communicative host, even helping one of our guests recover some belongings they had left behind. Thank you very much, Emily

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. A very relaxing cottage with lots of things to do around. Perfect for a relaxing weekend where you don’t need to leave the place. The cottage was beautiful and incredibly clean. We will definitely return.

A fabulous, well equipped home with a great view and visiting wildlife - pheasants, hares and swallows. Easy walking distance to Suffolk Barn for our family wedding and short drive to Bury St Edmunds. Very comfortable beds, fluffy towels and calming colour scheme. Extremely well equipped kitchen and generous welcome provisions made it easy to feel straight at home. We would love to come back to explore the local area and spend more time taking in the view and relaxing in the tub. Thank you to our hosts who were so accommodating and welcoming.

Highly recommend for a peaceful break. Watching the stars in the hot tub with an owl flying over was particularly magical.

Rowland's place is a beautiful charming cottage right on the coast of West Mersea. The setting is stunning and he is an amazing friendly and communicative host. The location is right next to a pub which serves great food and lovely atmosphere. Other local amenities are also a short walk away. We (2 adults and two kids) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Stayed for 1 night with a group of friends. Was easy to find and parking was available right outside the property. We found the space clean and tidy and had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. Hot tub was ready to use and clean, lovely addition. Overall happy with our 1 night stay. Would recommend

Fantastic property, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend. Richard was very helpful!

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Clock Cottage. The cottage had everything we wanted for a relaxing holiday. It was clean, well equipped, had comfortable beds and in a beautiful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our dog walks which were on the doorstep. We also found it a great location for visiting all around the Cambridge area. David was a great host too.

We wish we could keep this place to ourselves, The best kept cleanest property we have stayed in for a very long time. Sue and Richard are very responsive and the Cake! Yes Cake! Sue baked was terrific. The surroundings were perfect for us, Fields to the front across the lane and open fields to the back. Pub is about a ten minute walk down the lane (it serves brilliant food) you can also walk through the field via a path which is nice on a beautiful day. The neighbours are very friendly and Hector the dog was brilliant. I seriously have nothing bad to say about Sue and Richards place except we had to leave...at the end of our stay. Yes this is a cottage that we will return to if not buy

A stunningly beautiful place!! Everything from inside to outside was just absolutely beautiful! Inside is decorated so lovely but we also felt right at home, equipped with everything you could possibly need for a little break! Location is great to explore other parts of Suffolk or equally just as beautiful to stay at the cottage and not venture far! The grounds are lovely to walk around as well as sitting out on the decking by the water which we loved!! Jacqui is a really friendly host, as well as everyone else we met, alongside her beautiful dogs! We felt incredibly safe as sometimes I feel uneasy staying in new places, and I slept so well! Thank you so much Jacqui, really looking forward to visiting your beautiful place again! Xx

Always a great place to stay, would definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful location. We visit Mersea a lot, but have never stayed in a cottage there. We will definitely coming to stay again. I just wish we had booked for longer. Perfect location. Didn't have to drive anywhere while we were there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Reading Rooms. Fabulous accommodation and a lovely restored cottage with many original features. The location was brilliant for walking to the local shops, pub and recreation ground. We also drive into Cambridge both days which only took 25 minutes. We will definitely try to stay again and visit gorgeous Linton!

Kerry’s place is a must stay. It was perfect for our family of 4, with two small kids. Lovely little outside space & there was a good amount of storage inside the cottage so we could unpack & feel at home. There was a kitchen with all the utensils & equipment you need. There are some beautiful little personal touches too that make it almost feel like a hotel, but with all the privacy of your own home. The area is so peaceful & a central location for lots of places to visit. Adam & Kerry were very responsive & helpful, the communication was really great. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the cottage & Suffolk to friends & family.

Set in beautiful surroundings, the cottage was well placed for walks and bike rides. I think we shall be returning at some point

Perfect location in the country side. Easy to drive to Stowmarket. Plus good train links if you didn’t want to drive to Bury St Edmund. Accommodation modern and very clean. Loved the bird song in the back garden over a cup of tea. Highly recommend.

Staying at The Tryst gave us a great experience of staying in comfort at a 500 year old cottage steeped in character and history. The Aga kept us warm for our family meals in the kitchen and cosy evenings in the snug lounge. The two double bedrooms were spacious and all the beds were very comfortable. The garden was beautiful and would be a wonderful outdoor space in the Summer. The Tryst offered us a fantastic location in the heart of the Lavenham for exploring this exceptional village.

This was our third stay here, so I think that says it all. We love the very modern cottage set in beautiful grounds and the walks around are amazing and so peaceful. Pubs and villages are accessible by foot and it is an excellent base to explore the surrounding area by car. Heidi is always very helpful and quick to respond. Would thoroughly recommend.

was lovely will definitely come again :)

This was really an amazing place to stay. Marga was welcoming and obviously really loves her home and its history. The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed, would definitely return for a longer stay Gorgeous garden too!

Bradley’s Barn was perfect. Comfortable beds and spotlessly clean throughout. Sally sweetly left us bread, butter, milk and jams. She couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. Also highly recommend The Anchor Inn in Nayland which Sally told us about delicious food and beautiful spot by the river.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming countryside Airbnb with my two friends. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to birdsong and stunning views was amazing! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided great local tips. If you're looking to unwind and enjoy nature, this place is a hidden gem!
