Central location (and right by a bus stop which helped us). Free on-site parking. Nice breakfast. Very friendly staff, who allowed us to collect our room keys a few hours before check-in time. A well stocked bar where we had a nightcap.
A little bit of noise during the early part of the night, but no more than you would expect from a pub. There was no loud music, for example.

The food was excellent particularly the evening meal we had on arrival. The breakfasts also were tasty and well cooked.
it was obviously a slightly out of season and the waiting staff had to see to us in the dining area as well as attending the adjacent public bar. This meant that we were left awaiting things to happen because the dining waiting staff - only one individual - was around as he/she was shared between the dining area and bar.

Location of hotel was wonderful. Long Melford is a gorgeous historic place to visit and the Inn was very central. The Tudor beams were stunning and the uneven floors added a real charm. The room was very spacious, as was the bathroom. Comfy bed and lovely shower. The cooked breakfast was delicious, with quality produce used. Check in and out times were excellent and fit around us exploring the area.
We thought we'd be staying in the Inn itself and didn't realise there was a separate modern building at the end of the small car park - this may have been my error on not seeing that information beforehand. Room was well equipped but could have been maintained to a higher standard. Doors were not clean and a chunk had come out of the bathroom door. It had been put back on with what looked like a white plaster you'd put over a cut. Lots of cobwebs down the walls too. There were only slatted blinds and no curtains so the sunrise pours through, which may be tricky for some sleepers. Has so much potential, but just needs a bit of love.
