We very much enjoyed our stay at The Black Lion. A pub that mixes traditional and modern, it is well-priced, friendly, and comfortable. Access to the rooms is up a long straight set of stairs. We had a standard double room and found it well sized and nicely decorated, although our room overlooked a roof (other reviewers have noted some rooms with lovely views over the Green). Breakfast was excellent, and the pub, although we didn’t use it, looked great. Location-wise, The Black Lion is across the road from the National Trust’s Melford Hall, and 2 minutes from lovely Holy Trinity Church with its small collection of medieval stained glass. Some parking spots are available on the property, with more on nearby streets or on the Green across the road.

We stayed here for 2 nights . The hotel is lovely. We had room 2 which was huge with a separate sitting room. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom with lovely products. Bathroom had chipped bath and the bath panel was flaking. Sunday lunch and the breakfast were great. We had a cheese board that was terrible. The biscuit you would need a hammer to break and the cured meat was hard at the edges and curling. When we mentioned this to the duty manager she just shrugged her shoulders. On check out we mentioned it again to Maddie (who was the best member os staff) and she said that was not the first complaint she had had re the hard biscuits. Chef offer a choice of bread and edible crackers. Generally good, but let down on finer details .

We throughly enjoyed our first visit ,the staff were very helpful and informative. The room was clean and well equipped. The food was also to a high standard and a good choice.

Everyone super nice. The room was gorgeous! The location, the view and food out of this world. My kids absolutely love it. The Sunday Roast was amazing.

A lovely hotel/restaurant/bar, very friendly staff in a really nice place to eat/drink. We had the Sunday roast which was beautiful, we also had a a breakfast which was lovely, both meals served nice and freshly cooked, open to non residents, it’s a short stroll from the centre of Long Melford but very well worth a visit.

Staff are very friendly and the room was large & comfortable [although pity they only provide 1 coat hangar]. The bathroom is great with a nice large shower. The bed was comfy but the mattress sounds on its way out with creaking springs. Dinner was excellent & very well presented. The only downside was the Australian wine which was £28 but had that harsh taste of really cheap plonk. Breakfast was also very good. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here & plan to return some time in the future.
