About The Black Lion Long Melford
Anyone after a quiet Suffolk base with a proper village setting rather than a big anonymous hotel will find The Black Lion Long Melford fits the bill. Overlooking the green, it has just 10 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and in-room drinks, making it a manageable, personal sort of place rather than a sprawling resort.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for meals and evening drinks, with breakfast included to set guests up for the day. A garden gives outdoor space to sit in, and free WiFi and luggage storage cover the practical basics. There's also a meeting room for anyone combining business with the stay. Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward.
The location suits golfers particularly well, with Haverhill Golf Club nearby, and there's fishing on offer too for those wanting a slower pace. Pubs, restaurants and other eateries are close by for evenings out, and pets are welcome, so it works for travellers bringing a dog along. Sudbury itself is a few miles off, useful for anyone wanting to explore further into the county.
