Newmans Lodge Lavenham

Review by hotel critic

During a recent stay at Alpheton Hall in England, my partner and I were thoroughly impressed by the value proposition this charming bed and breakfast offered. Our room, overlooking the stunning garden and fields, was cozy and well-appointed. the breakfast served in the intimate dining room was cooked to order and simply delicious. We also opted for a dinner to celebrate a birthday, and were blown away by the Cordon Bleu dishes suggested and cooked by Claire, the owner. Claire's culinary skills were clearly evident in every bite. Alpheton itself may be small, but we ventured out to the Manger in Bradfield Combust for another memorable dining experience. the fresh eggs from Claire's chickens added a unique touch to our breakfast choices, which were varied and well-prepared. Having our own key to come back late at night after a dinner dance made us feel at home. The service facilities at Alpheton Hall were top-notch. From the ample sized room to the friendly and professional owners, everything was well-maintained and provided a comfortable stay. the availability of free Wi-Fi in public areas was a bonus, allowing us to stay connected during our visit. the garden area was a peaceful spot to relax, and the outdoor dining area was perfect for enjoying a meal al fresco. Overall, the balance of cost and luxury at Alpheton Hall made it a great choice for a weekend getaway. the attention to detail, friendly service, and delicious meals truly set this bed and breakfast apart. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy retreat in the English countryside.
